5 reasons to buy the 2016 Honda Civic
1. Two energetic engine options to choose from
Whether driving around town, through the mountains, or across the country, the Civic's engines are eager to please. The LX and EX trims have a capable 2.0L four-cylinder engine with 158 horsepower. The higher trim levels swap that engine out for a 1.5L turbocharged powertrain that kicks the horses up to 174. No matter which trim you choose, you and your passengers will get to your destination in a flash.
2. Flawlessly fuel-sipping
You'll make fewer stops at the pump with the 2016 Civic thanks to both engines' smaller footprint. EPA estimates vary depending on which trim level and engine you find, but shop for the 1.5L turbocharged engine to go the distance with an EPA-estimated 35 mpg combined.
3. Roomy from any seat
The 2016 Civic will cart you and your friends to the next show with ease. Choose the coupe model for a sportier look without compromising space. The coupe's rearseat boasts 35.9 inches of legroom, which will put even your tallest friends at ease. The sedan stretches the space further with 37.4 inches of legroom so your kids can comfortably ride to basketball practice.
3. You'll volunteer to drive
With the Civic's spirited steering, minimal body roll, and sporty handling, you'll volunteer to drive more than ever before. Both the coupe and sedan deliver a comfortable ride, and the coupe dials up the fun with a sport-tuned suspension. Optional driver aids, which are standard on the Touring trim, include adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and forward collision alert with automatic braking.
5. Standard features galore
Bring your tech with you in the 2016 Civic with USB connection and Bluetooth® connectivity standard on the base LX trim. Choose any trim besides the LX and you'll get a seven-inch touchscreen complete with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. You can take your tech connectivity to the next level by shopping for a Touring trim level with all of the above, plus a navigation system with voice controls.
