Two Reasons the Honda Civic Still Sets the Standard
As you consider your next car, think about the Honda Civic. The legacy of this legendary car continues to grow each year as it stands out among the competition.
- Interior
Stepping inside the Honda Civic, owners realize the car combines comfort and practicality. There is enough room for five to ride together. Front row passengers have plenty of storage space in the glove box as well as the center console. Back seat passengers in the EX, EX-L, and Touring trims have storage pockets for smaller items. For larger items, the back seat folds down in a 60/40 split to expand the cargo capabilities of the car.
The dashboard sits lower, so drivers have a better view of the outside. A quick glance at the dash lets drivers see their gas mileage, speed, outside temperature.
- Technology
Technology is another vital part of the Honda Civic’s legacy. The 2019 model features connectivity for either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. Both services allow users to access music, navigation, and voice texting, so they never have to take their eyes off the road. Upgrade the navigation system to the Honda satellite-linked navigation system for turn-by-turn directions.
The rearview camera gives drivers a clear view of what is behind them. Drivers can change the view to top-down and take a look at their surroundings before parking or pulling out.
