2011 Honda Civic Coupe - a Vehicle Review

Bill Hanks
The 2011 Honda Civic Coupe follows in a long line of consumer friendly vehicles. The Civic is a sporty looking vehicle, that can serve both the purpose of serving the family and presenting a class appearance for the driver. You have the opportunity to select the regular Civic Coupe or the Civic Si. Both are very sporting looking. There is a difference in the two, but there are many similarities.

High Powered
The 2011 Honda Civic Coupe has a 197 horse power, 2.0 Liter K203z 4 cylinder engine. It has a close-ratio 6 speed transmission. It also has a helical limited slip-differential. Toss in some beefy stabilizer bars and razor quick electric power steering, you get this and gas mileage of 21 in the city and 29 on the highway. That is not too bad, for a high powered sporty looking vehicle.

Interior Features
The Civic looks sporty outside and inside. Inside let's start with a satellite linked navigation system. You can have the "Blue-tooth" "Hands Free Link". Call ahead without taking your hands off the wheel. You also have a sporty 6 speed shifter, a leather wrapped steering wheel and drilled aluminum pedals for your use. If you like music, you can crank it up in the Civic. It has a 350 watt premium audio system that features a USB audio interface. You can plug in your MP3 player.

An added feature is the "Wave Key" and immobilizer theft-deterrent system, for security. The interior color only comes in black fabric. The interior will also seat five individuals.

Exterior Looks
From nose to tail, the Civic Coupe is built to perform. It has 17 inch alloy wheels, a bold grill with integrated fog lights, a rear wing spoiler, and a chrome exhaust finisher. Exterior colors come in Crystal Black Pearl, Dy no Blue Pearl, Polished Metal Metallic, Rally Red and Taffeta White.

Accessories
There are some extra features. There is the Auto Day/Night Mirror with a compass for direction, XM Radio, cargo net and hook, all season floor mats and a first aid kit. You can get an added interior design of a metal or carbon fiber trim look. Both are sharp looking.

Hybrid
The Civic has also evolved a vehicle into a hybrid that gets 40 miles per gallon in the city and 43 on the highway. The price for the hybrid begins at $23,950.

Pricing
The Honda Civic begins at $19,605. The price varies depending on added accessories to the vehicle. For example the Civic Sim starts at $22,205. Honda Financial all will assist you with financing. If buying isn't for you, you can also set up a leasing agreement.

The 2011 Honda Civic Coupe has been a favorite of many and will continue to add satisfied users.

    Good review.

    One of these days, I'm going to have to break down and rely on some kind of navigation system. My 2002 Toyota Camry has only 45k miles on it, so it might be a few more years until I buy one.

    Hondas - reliable, reasonably priced, kind of boring.

    It sounds nice, but I won't buy a Honda again after the way they treated us.

    Thanks!

    When you write "satellite linked navigation system" that's enough said for me. The older I get the more I get lost. Of course that could be because of progress of a growing area, but most likely it's memory loss.
