Whether seated up front or in back, most will find the seats to be comfortable, yet supportive enough for sporty driving. Honda says that they're designed for sitting in rather than on top of, a combination that
provides for top-tier comfort as well as tremendous side support. Also, when cruising at high speeds, wind, road and ambient noises are low for this class - down some 5 dB from the previous car. In the engine bay, a new engine mounting system includes more, better quality noise absorption materials, while a high-end polyurethane one-piece dash cover adds to sound deadening as well as a high quality look and feel.
In the end I think that the new Civic sedan, the best of a hearty breed, is worthy of carrying the top-selling torch forward for many years to come. What, with the previous generation Civic experiencing record sales numbers only recently (all 9,233 units for August set an all-time record, as well as all-time record sales month for Honda Canada, despite the fact that during this time most new car buyers were quite aware that an all-new model would soon surface.)
Yes, a compact Honda four-door is a winning formula, and one that it's not about to abandon anytime soon, no matter how popular five-door wagons become. And who knows, maybe that's on the way too?
