Driving can get better with the sleek, portable, and subtle 2010
Honda Civic. The Civic, which is long known as Honda’s smallest car, now comes
with slightly bigger build. The car has a wider and longer front and rear lights.
It seats lower on the ground, while the front grille and Honda logo is
beautifully designed with shiny chrome.

Design

The 2010 Honda Civic’s structure has been built to offer maximum
comfort both exterior and interior.

The interior has a unique design, with its digital speedometer
and gas gauge located underneath the windshield. The analog tachometer is
located at its standard position, behind the steering wheel.

The car comes in two basic body types; the sedan and coupe. Both
types are available in five line-up models which are the DX, LX, EX, EX-L and
Si. All versions are lined up in different grades, which are distinguished by
slight differences with both exterior and interior.

The DX type steps on 15-inch steel wheels and are fitted with
power windows, but doesn’t come with a stereo except for the DX sedan optional
with a four speaker CD/MP3 audio system.

The LX type steps on 16-inch wheels and features keyless entry,
cruise control and sliding armrest.

The EX type is endowed with a sub woofer six-speaker sound
system and steering-wheel-mounted audio control.

The EX-L type comes with leather upholstery seats and heated
front seats, while the Si type steps on 17-inch alloy wheels, a higher power
and sports tuned performance.

The 2010 Honda Civic sedan also comes with three special
versions, which are the LX-S sedan type with rear spoilers and alloy wheels;
The GX type with similar features to the LX; and then Hybrid model with
automatic climate control and similar features to the EX.

Engine Power

The Civic is powered by varying engine types and transmissions.
The DX, LX and EX models are powered with a 1.8 litre four-cylinder engine that
produces 140 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque.

The car comes mated with a standard five-speed manual transmission
and an optional five-speed automatic transmission.

The Hybrid type uses a gasoline/electric hybrid power train to
maximise fuel economy. The Civic Si type is powered by a 2.0 litre engine and
integrated with a six-speed manual transmission.

Safety

The 2010 Honda Civic comes with side curtain and front seat air
bags. It is also built with antilock brakes and active front head restraints.

Some models come with specifics like four-wheel disc brakes
present only in the EX and Si and stability control in the EX-L, Si and Hybrid
type.

Price

The 2010 Honda Civic ranges in price from $16,000 to $ 22,000
depending on the model of the car.
