Top 5 Reasons To Buy the 2023 Honda Civic
And You Won’t Regret It
When it comes to affordability, reliability and efficiency, the Honda Civic is an exceptional choice. And while the subcompact category is still pretty competitive in the market with multiple options available, the Honda Civic still remains one of our top choice with a starting price for the base LX trim at just $23,645. Here are the top 5 reasons why we think you should get one.
#1 Design and Aesthetics
The Honda Civic has always been targeted as an affordable consumer car. But that didn’t stop Honda from chiseling out the latest 10th generation Honda Civic to fit in with contemporary design and aesthetics. The Honda Civic features a sleek and compact exterior chassis with modern LED headlights, aluminum alloy wheels, dual color/black side mirror theme and chrome tailpipes. All of which will not only offer sweet eye candy, but will help prolong the value of the car in the long run.
#2 Versatility
The Honda Civic was not only meant to be affordable, but practical as well. Both a 4 or 5-door hatchback variant are offered depending on your needs. Back seats feature a convenient 60/40 split fold-down seats for added trunk space. Honda was even generous enough to offer standard heated front seats, with available leather-wrapped heated steering wheel, and dual-zone climate control for added comfort.
#3 Safety Features
When it comes to safety, the Honda Civic has got you covered. Multiple types of sensors are mounted throughout the Honda Civic to give you plenty of tech features to keep you safe, such as automatic front-collisions braking, lane departure warning, road departure mitigation (helps steer or apply brakes if the system detects the vehicle is leaving the road), and adaptive cruise control that maintains a set distance between the vehicle in front when active.
#4 Tech Features
The nice thing about technology, is it gets cheaper over time, and the Honda Civic’s got some nice tech features to keep you entertained. An available 9″ color touchscreen manages all infotainment needs with smartphone connectivity supporting both Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Available for upgrade or on the highest Touring trim is the 12-speaker Bose sound system that delivers crisp and boomy music from your favorite playlist.
#5 The Drive
Last but not least, the Honda Civic is an exceptionally fun and easy car to drive. Base models come with a 2.0L four-cylinder engine with just 158 horsepower while upgraded models get a more powerful 1.5L Turbocharged engine bumping up the horsepower to 180.
Regardless of which engine configuration you choose, the independent multi-link rear suspensions, and continuous-variable transmission will give you loads of fun driving the Honda Civic off the straight, or around bends without stressing about huge bills at the gas pumps thanks to its excellent fuel efficiency ratings of a combined 36 mpg on both city and highway driving.
Final Thoughts
While there are many things we love about the Honda Civic, there’s no such thing as a perfect car, especially when it comes to building an affordable consumer car. If there’s anything worth pointing out, it would be the lack of ride comfort and road noise due to lower-grade suspensions, and lack of cabin insulation. Still, the handsome looks, ease of use and fun factor the Honda Civic has to offer makes for a great compromise that will make long-lasting smiles.
