I couldn’t help but snag a photo of my Civic with two other current gen Hondas at my apartment complex. Is it just me or is the 11th gen Civic the nicest looking current gen Honda?
For my wife, we considered the HR-V (cheap feeling), Toyota Camry (too big), CR-V (too big), RAV 4 (too big), and Subaru Crosstrek (far too cheap feeling for the money). We already had 3 other Civics in the family so she wanted to see about something different, but the Civic Hatch (sport touring) really caught her interest. The leather interior, powered seats, etc. give the car an upscale feel. The size is perfect! She downsized from a '14 Highlander.I looked around at all the cars at the lot. Even tried the Accord out. I always bought Accords but the new Accord just DOES NOT DO IT for me. Ridgeline looks good, Pilot too. CRV got waaaay too big. The HRV is really stupid-looking IMO. I really don't get the whole deal with the HR-V/Toyota Venza market. They're basically the premium versions of the Dodge Hornet/Chevy Trax?
Civic kept catching my eye. It's a really attractive car, and it performed better than the Accord albeit with louder engine and road noise. I prefer it in looks and performance to all the rest.
Anyone else shop before they stuck to a Civic?
