Canada's best selling passenger car for the last four years, the Honda Civic, receives significant enhancements for the 2003 model year.
All models will receive improved seating with both a new fabric and design while the rear outboard seats are enhanced with adjustable headrests. A new sporty steering wheel, a new 'Wave' style key and an inner handle to release the trunk in case of an emergency are also standard. Building upon the Civic's 'fun-to-drive' appeal, Honda has enhanced the steering and suspension systems for 2003 to accentuate its sporty character.
The Civic Sedan is now available in four trims: DX, DX with Group Option Package, LX and a new LX 'Sport'. All Civic Sedans feature a new rear combination taillight and a standard tachometer.
Prices for the popular Civic Sedan DX and DX with Group Option Package will start at $16,000 and $17,600 respectively, up just $100 - or approximately 0.6 percent - over the previous year despite a standard tachometer and other value-added enhancements.
The popular Civic Sedan LX will be priced at $19,400 (5MT) and receives Electronic Brake Distribution, a new centre console armrest with a storage compartment as standard equipment. Also new for 2003 is a redesigned transmission escutcheon design and a high-tech self-illuminating instrument gauge cluster.
