Four Reasons to Drive a 2016 Honda Civic Sedan
Honda is known for producing quality vehicles, but the 10th Generation Civic tops them all. Pick from a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission. With up to a 2.0-liter engine and an EPA fuel economy of 35 MPG (31 in the city and 42 on the highway), you can’t beat the 2016 Civic. Its restyled design boasts sleek curves that reduce wind resistance, and luxury options ensure you ride in style and comfort for the life of the vehicle.
1. Efficiency and Entertainment
Always on the go? Apple Car Play (or Android Auto) makes efficiency the name of your game. Just by plugging your phone into your car, you can text, select a song, or add an event to your calendar, all without taking your eyes off the road. You can easily talk to Google or Siri, listen to podcasts, or enjoy sports commentators. Android Auto even notifies you when you drive by places you frequent.
Some third-party apps can appear on the 7-inch touch screen, and Honda Developer Studio continues to add compatible apps. Sirius XM radio provides another entertainment option on the EX-T model, so you can listen to commercial-free music, sports, and news.
2. Convenience and Safety
The 2016 Civic Touring is so bent on convenience and safety it automatically activates your windshield wipers. A driver interface directly behind the steering wheel on the EX model and above shows what song is playing or who’s calling. The illuminated steering wheel-mounted controls allow you to safely change music or answer the phone.
Rear cup holders come standard in LX models and up, so there’s room for everyone’s drink. Heated front seats are standard in all models starting with the EX-T, but the Touring also features rear heated seats. You don’t have to choose the luxury package to enjoy the capless fuel filler and spacious console storage, and for the utmost in safety, a multi-angle rearview camera comes standard in all models.
3. Honda Sensing
In 2016, Honda stepped up its game by offering Honda Sensing technology on the Civic. The Lane Departure Warning alerts you when you wander out of your lane. Lane Keeping Assist tells you if you drift away from the center without signaling, and the steering adjusts. Forward Collision Warning alerts you, then if you don’t respond, the Collision Mitigation Braking System applies the brakes so you avoid hitting the car in front of you. Road Departure Mitigation Systems and Adaptive Cruise Control are also part of the package, which is available for all models and standard on the Touring.
4. Quality
The 2016 Civic is covered by a three-year/36,000-mile warranty, which includes roadside assistance. Any Honda accessories added to the car on the date of purchase are covered under the warranty. At a starting MSRP of $18,640, it’s a lot of bang for your buck. In fact, Kelley Blue Book rated the 2016 Civic an impressive 9.3 out of 10 stars.
Whether you’re looking for luxury or safety, the 2016 Civic is a great pick.
