It's funny how negative the reaction to this generation of Honda Civic has
been. You'd think Honda was building a terrible Civic based on some of the press
out there. The Civic is still a commendable compact car; it just isn't as
impressive as the other recently redesigned cars in this class.
Honda's decision to play it safe with the Civic may draw criticism from the
press, but consumers keep buying the cars. In the first quarter of 2012, the
Honda Civic handily outsold everything else in the compact class. How can the
Civic succeed? It has an intuitive interior, for starters. Other compacts may
offer more connectivity options, but the Civic sticks with tried-and-true
buttons and knobs that are easy to use and look more modern than the equally
simple controls in the Mazda 3.
The design of the Civic is also familiar. Other compacts have upped the
design game to the point of compromising visibility or usability while Honda
stuck with a basic sedan shape and more timeless lines. With legendary
reliability and a reasonable $21,275 sticker price, the 2012 Honda Civic EX
doesn't need to offer a lot of gimmicks to attract buyers.
