The Honda Civic coupe has evolved greatly over its seven generations into the much larger -- and much more refined -- car that it is today. As with its sedan sibling, the latest generation coupe holds the line on price gaining better fuel efficiency, more refinement and interior space and subtle styling changes.
At first glance, the exterior and interior might not strike you as substantially different than the previous model - because they aren't. Honda clearly decided to stick with a very similar exterior silhouette as well as the same general layout for the interior, with a few minor adjustments including rounding corners and altering the shape of air vents.
But Honda didn't get lazy with its all-new Civic Coupe. Instead of making revolutionary changes, the company focused on updating content, features and specifications, while sticking to a design that has been well-received in the market.
In the all-important powertrain department, Honda has updated its ubiquitous 1.8-liter i-VTEC engine to achieve better fuel economy while retaining its 140 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque ratings. Transmissions include a standard give-speed manual or a five-speed automatic for the coupe.
The engine is good for an EPA rating of 28 city, 39 highway miles per gallon when equipped with the automatic transmission. Sticking with the stick will drop highway mileage to 36 mpg, while city fuel economy remains unchanged.
Inside, the Civic Coupe has room for five and a spaceship-inspired two-tier instrument panel, dashboard and center console, which looks and feels nothing like the Civic's conservative predecessors. The long dashboard and steep windshield only add to the unique driving position.
Trim-Level Breakdown
The Civic Coupe range starts with the entry-level DX, which doesn't come with air conditioning or an audio system, but does feature a height-adjustable driver's seat, power windows, an Intelligent Multi-information Display (i-MID) that displays average fuel economy, the time, miles to empty and a digital odometer. The standard wheels are 15-inch steel wheel with hub caps.
Moving up to the LX nets buyers air conditioning, power mirrors and locks, remote keyless entry and an AM/FM/CD player.
The well-equipped EX adds rear disc brakes (to replace drums), a split-folding rear seat, a high-power XM Satellite-capable radio, USB input, steering wheel audio controls, power sunroof, alloy wheels and an outside temperature indicator. It's also available with a navigation system with voice controls and Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity.
The EX-L adds to the EX the aforementioned traction and stability control, as well as heated leather seats, leather wrapping for the steering wheel and heated power mirrors.
All models are available with either transmission. All Civic coupes qualify for ULEV-2 CARB emissions standards.
Occupant Safety
The Honda Civic Coupe's safety features include two-row side curtain airbags, dual-stage, multiple-threshold driver's and front passenger's airbags, driver's and front passenger's side airbags, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), anti-lock braking (ABS) with Brake Assist and a new Motion Adaptive Electric Power Steering system that helps the driver steer in the ideal direction to mitigate oversteer or understeer situations.
Key Competitors
Those looking for a frugal yet sporty two-door like the Civic Coupe should also consider the Kia Forte Koup, the Scion tC and the Volkswagen Golf.
