  Great looks: With the brutal swooping roofline and low-slung profile, the Civic is a stunner in terms of looks. Even the headlights look aggressive
  
  Ride quality: Armed with a soft suspension, the Honda Civic offers a great ride. It just glides over bumps and potholes with no impact inside the cabin
  
  Impressive safety: All Civic variants come with the Honda Sensing technology. It includes monitoring and mitigation systems to help drivers avoid accidents
  
  Nice engine: The standard Civic comes with a 2.0-liter petrol engine, which produces 190 Nm torque. That’s just perfect for a mid-level sedan
  
  Comfortable cabin: The Honda Civic’s interior is extremely spacious. There’s a lot of legroom and knee room. 5 passengers can comfortably travel for a long duration

  No custom drive modes: The Honda Civic doesn’t have a customizable drive mode. This may be a problem if you are compelled to take the car across an off-road terrain
