In 2016 Motor Trend Car of the Year testing, we liked how the all-new Civic was bigger, flashier, and more technologically advanced than ever. We were also impressed with the extra rear legroom, the nicely appointed and styled interior, and the available Honda Sensing active safety technology. We also enjoyed the quiet and smooth 1.5-liter turbocharged engine but noted that it is a little slow off the line.
In a 2016-2017 seven car compact sedan comparison, the 2016 Honda Civic EX came in first place it is pretty evident where the development and packaging money went in this car...Efficiency, Safety, and Performance. We felt the Civic was a complete all-around package as it excelled in many categories ...It drives better, it feels better, it's engineered better, it's got special saucethe X factorand this thing has it in spades.
