Pros and cons of the 2018 Honda Civic
This 10th generation Civic model has many changes, from interior and exterior highlights to advanced engine technology, however, besides the advantages, the car still has disadvantages.
Advantage
Variety of engine options
There are two main engine options for the Honda Civic: the old 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with a maximum capacity of 158 horsepower and a maximum torque of 187 Nm, the new 1.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum capacity of 174 horsepower and a maximum torque of 217 Nm; but the same turbocharged engine is refined on the Honda Civic Si version to achieve a maximum capacity of 205 horsepower and a maximum torque of 264 Nm.
Finally, there is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine version with a maximum capacity of 306 horsepower and maximum torque of 400 Nm exclusively for the Civic Type R version.
Top of the line interior
The Honda Civic's interior features soft-touch materials on the doors and dashboard. All seats are contoured to fit a variety of body shapes and enhance the user experience.
Advanced features
Honda Sensing on the Civic is a $1,000 package that provides drivers with dozens of safety and support features such as lane keeping assist, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, etc.
Furthermore, Honda's smart key also helps keep the vehicle safe with the automatic door locking feature when the key is away from the vehicle.
Still comfortable on the street
Although the new generation Honda Civic is heavily tuned for good performance and power on long roads, it still retains its comfort when driving in the city.
Variety of body style options
Honda Civic has 3 body style options: Coupe, sedan and hatchback. If you use the car for personal purposes or a small family, the coupe with 2 doors will give you an interesting feeling. For those who want more space for luggage, the hatchback version will be more suitable. The sedan version is very reasonable for normal families and with a luggage compartment of 424.7 liters, it is also quite spacious in the segment.
The 2018 Honda Civic comes in a variety of body styles and engines.
Reliable
Honda is a Japanese manufacturer that is known for making strong and durable products that last for years. The Civic is known as one of Honda's long-standing models and represents a distinctly Japanese car value.
Disadvantages
Exterior styling is divided
The Civic’s appearance is clearly divided from the front. The front is quite curved and soft, but the back is very angular. Some people think the car is too carved and creates many heavy details.
Poor entertainment system
The Honda Civic’s touchscreen system is crisp and clear. Even the air conditioning functions can be controlled via the touchscreen, but those simple functions frustrate many people. The touchscreen doesn’t respond as quickly as regular buttons and knobs.
Slightly expensive for the top-end versions
The top-end versions of the Honda Civic are equipped with luxurious technology and amenities, but the price of the car is quite high compared to competitors such as the Hyundai Elantra and Chevrolet Cruze with the same high-end equipment as the Honda Civic.
