2016 Honda Civic Sedan Long-Term Update: How It?s Faring 10K into Our Test
WHAT WE LIKE: After a few months of road-tripping, commuting, and tooling around in the 10th-generation Civic (a.k.a. Civic X), it?s clear that the new car?s chassis is a solid achievement on Honda?s part. Its dynamic fundamentals?things like going, stopping, and turning?are near the top of the compact class, with our editors praising the responsive steering, the composed ride quality, and the progressive feel of the brake pedal.
