DRIVEN + VIDEO: FIRST Video Review Of The 2016 Honda Civic — Is It ME Or Is The NEW Civic Looking More Luxurious?
While many of us here on AutoSpies are fully certified petrol heads, not everyone is an enthusiast. For these folks, they just want an automobile that will reliably get them from point "A" to "B," and will be safe in the unfortunate event of a crash.

Oh, and they want a banging sound system.

This is why cars like the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima and Honda Accord sell in such great volumes. While they may not be full of emotion, they sure as hell get the job done. And now another big seller has received an all-new generation product. That, my friends, is the Civic.

Our friends over at Consumer Reports recently had the chance to get behind the wheel for some quick impressions and after scoping out the outfit's video, I have to admit that I am pretty impressed. Now its design is unique and the Civic's interior is looking rather upmarket.

Why would you buy an Acura ILX now?

Having said that, check out Consumer Reports' first impressions below and let us know what YOU think of the all-new Honda Civic!


Completely redesigned, the 2016 Civic aims to regain the model's reputation as a premium small car. Sleek styling, new engines, and high-tech features all play their part.

Accord sales have rarely been affected by any other car, whether from Honda or from any other manufacturer. Even when the Civic was a leader in its respective segment, the Accord was a top-seller in its own segment. That will not change.

What a joke. The front grille now extends over the headlights. Boring. Spend a extra $50 a month and get a Acura ILX.

@Agent00R: It's you. The Civic is more SciFi than ever. The nose is garish. The tail is ungainly and garish. The DLO is par of the course. Nothing screams more luxurious.

Granted, it's 100% better than the current Civic which was a hasty make over of the previous , supposedly "all new" Civic. Yet, that supposedly "all new" Civic was a thinly veiled warm over of the previous Civic.

Thus the Civic has not been new in a decade, so some fanboy hyperbole is to be expected.

This is nice, but it is not a game changer.
