Buying A Used 10th Gen Honda Civic: The Good, The Bad & The Snugly
Features
The Honda Civic is a car model that America has loved for decades. Furthermore, the 10th generation of 2016 onwards is one of the hottest selling vehicles on the new and used markets. While there’s certainly a lot to love about this solution, appreciating the need for improvement is vital too. Whether it’s the coupe, sedan, or hatchback doesn’t matter. Here’s all you need to know about the award-winning car, and getting more from the used car. The Good First and foremost, the 2016 to present Civic has won awards for safety. Given that this should be the first item on anyone’s agenda, that has to be a major selling point. However, as with any used car, having it checked over before purchase is key. Honda generally has a very strong reputation in the industry, and the Civic has been reliable for generations. Meanwhile, the ease of sourcing parts should keep the costs and hassle of auto repair jobs down.   From a practical outlook, this is crucial. Performance wise, the modern Civic range is very good. As an example, a 2l 4dr front wheel drive sedan boasts 40 mpg on the highways. Meanwhile, a 1.5l coupe boasts 174 bhp at 6000 rpm. That level of power is more than comfortable on the highway as well as around the city. In truth, many will prefer this over the latest triple-cylinder effort of the 2018 models. Handling on the Civic finds the right balance between comfort and fun, ensuring that you have great control behind the wheel at all. The Bad The good easily outweighs the bad, but there are a couple of noticeable areas of improvement. The 7-inch infotainment screen is certainly one. There’s no escaping the fact that it will take some time to get acclimatized and comfortable. Once you do, however, this needn’t be a major issue. Fans of hybrid fans will need to go back to 2015 and before, as this is when the line was discontinued. For most, this won’t be a major issue, especially as the Civic is hardly a gasoline guzzler. Still, it would’ve been nice to have the option. Responsive brakes and suspensions cannot be knocked. However, one minor gripe does come from the CVT turbo transmission. In the grand scheme of things, though, this isn’t a major problem. Finally, some may complain that (size aside) the later models don’t look too different from the older ones. Then again, Honda would argue that there’s no need to fix an unbroken recipe for success. The Snugly Performance, safety, and reliability aren’t the only key features. Arguably the chief reason for choosing the 10th generation over previous incarnations is the size. The cabin is roomier while even the Hatchback boasts a 487l boot space. Essentially, this isn’t just a family car. It’s a family car that can satisfy your needs as the children grow older. With a few simple upgrades to the audio and other comforting features, you’ll be destined for years of enjoyment.
