2006 Honda Civic EX sedan review from North America
"All around good ride with a sporty spirit"
General comments?
The acceleration is adequate, on the quick side.
Controls are great and easy to find and well lit.
Handling is great for its class, steering is sharp and precise.
The window pillars sometimes obstruct vision.
The sedan could've used the 350 Watt system from SI and coupe EX, but the included system with 6 speakers is not bad.
I actually like the 2-level dash because you don't have to glance too far down to see how fast you're going.
There's a good amount of room in the back, even for tall passengers.
Fuel economy is a big plus.
