The Corolla is to Toyota as the Civic is to Honda. Indeed, even among used cars, the Honda Civic is among the world’s most-loved cars for its reliability, fuel economy, and driving performance. The Civic is another product of Japanese engineering that makes one wonder what is it with the Japanese that makes them create and manufacture such reliable cars at the fraction of the cost of European luxury autos. Whatever it is, we sure are glad for Japanese cars. Guaranteed Bestseller The Civic has garnered a number of awards, most recent of which is the recognition as the best-selling vehicle model in Canada in 2012. According to Honda Canada, they were able to sell 64,962 Civics, 14,012 units more than its closest competitor. The Civic has held this position for the past 15 years, making it truly Canada’s favorite car. It is also making it to the top of the bestselling spots in other countries such as the United States, which goes to show that not only can it be afforded by many, but also a major part of the market trusts this model’s reliability and overall performance. Top in Safety The Civic does so well in crash and safety tests that it has been included in Forbes.com’s list of the 10 Best Used Cars For Teen Drivers. Newly-licensed teens are still inexperienced behind the wheel, and the Civic helps teens ease out on the road safely. Since it is also sturdy and reliable, new drivers aren’t traumatized by sudden breakdowns. The Civic just keeps on going, even as used cars. Honda Civic has also become synonymous with safety; in fact, it is the first compact car model to earn a top rating in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s crash and safety test and to be named a “Top Safety Pick +”. Advanced Safety Features All Civic models have been equipped with the best safety equipment Honda can offer. The body itself has been designed using Advanced Compatibility Engineering, making it structurally strong. In the event of a collision, the structure is able to disperse frontal impact energy to increase the protection of the passengers. The car has six standard airbags, Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control, and Anti-lock Braking System. Impressive Handling If you’re looking at used cars, the Honda Civic is really one car you should consider buying. It is easy to drive because of its responsive handling and nimbleness. The Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control also adds on to the Civic’s superb handling. What it does is to step in when the driver over- or understeers, keeping the vehicle stable especially when rounding a curve. This feature is partnered with Traction Control, which makes sure the car stays on track even on ultra-slippery surfaces. Wide range of styles In stocks of used cars, Honda Civics come in a wide range of styles (sedan, hatchback, hybrid), engine types (1.8-liter SOHC and 2.4-liter DOHC), and trim models (DX, EX, LX, Touring, Si) to suit owners’ varying preferences. Why don’t you have a look around and see for yourself which one suits you best? You really won’t go wrong with a Civic!
