Car Profiles - Honda Civic

HONDA CIVIC

Updated for 2014, the Civic gained Modulo and Mugen body kits for the upper models (models without them made a return) while the 1.8 S regained the stick shift For the money, you can get an entry level Sonata for 2.0 EL price.

The Good: Comfortable ride, original bodykits standard on mid and top trim models.
The Bad: On board computer takes time to get used, not a full facelift unlike other markets are getting.

Price Range: P948,000-P1,388,000
