Honda Civic Review (26/07/2014)

GIVEN all the palaver in recent times about the advent of the Crossover, and how the segment is going to swallow whole a load of other mini-segments due to its all-conquering effect on buyers, there is still a conservative vibe going on out there. And, curiously, Honda are at the thick of it.

It may be that the Honda Civic is not what it used to be: a solid, dependable and — let’s not deny — a cut above those other, well, Asian, tin boxes. Honda were always above average and if you owned one then you could well bow a slighted head to a Nissan driver, for example. Especially outside Mass on a Sunday.

I know. My mother did it for years and as a Honda driver she felt no compunction looking down upon those who drove ‘lesser’ cars.
