The new Honda Civic is here, and it has really blown away the car industry in more ways than one. Honda didn’t need to fully refresh the Civic, as it was already the best in it’s class. However, they did, and somehow managed to make it even more ridiculously good. They dumbed down it's exterior design, which many found as overdone, while transforming the interior to almost luxury car levels. It still has the terrific handling of the previous generation, while the excellent fuel economy and cargo space hasn't disappeared either. The 11th gen of the Civic, as many have noted, almost like a junior-Accord, in that it has more mature looks, Audi-esque tech, and a mind-boggling value. It starts at $21.7K, the Sport costs $24.9, and the EX comes in at $26.3K. While the former two options are phenomenal in their own right, the EX is the one that deserves the accolades. It drives, looks, and performs like a more expensive car, and, crazy as it sounds, this Civic is no worse than, say, an Audi A4 in many regards. And that's a success for Honda, which has had a heck of a lot of wins recently. If the "normal" Civic is this good, just wait for the Si and Type-R. Exciting stuff from easily the best brand in Japan. Chill, Toyota fanboys....
