Fuel efficiency is ok but all details are plastic like bumpers etc. I am disappointed with the old technology that Honda has applied to this vehicle . It’s a very reliable vehicle yet the alarm system built into the vehicle or key drains the battery ...Read More

About 2011 Honda Civic

3.8

Overall Rating

The 2011 Honda Civic continues as a carryover model with the same 140 hp power and combined fuel economy up to 36 for a price tag starting at $15,805.

The Honda Civic comes unchanged from last year with same 140 hp engine under the hood for a startomg price tag of $15,805. Having the economy ranging from 26 MPG to 36 MPG as per driving condition throughout its trim lineup of DX, DX-VP, LX, LX-S, EX, and EX-L, one tends to relish a wide range of driving pursuit.

Available for sale with a trunk of 12 cu-ft and generous interior spaciousness, the Honda Civic hits the track against the like of the Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3, and Elantra. Alongside that comes the 140 hp coupe variant at $16,875 and 110 hp hybrid configuration at $24,720 too for enhanced myriad of choices.

The EX-L trim is the best one as it justifies its expense with the best touches of leatherette and enhanced comfort with heated seats among its sibling. The available options are also impressive including the navigation system. And the standard 140 hp thrust means equal flooring along with higher economy than the lower trims.

The 2011 Honda Civic comes in 6 trims that commences with DX edition costing $15,805. It gets assets like 15-inch steel wheels, cloth seats, and 4-speaker audio unit. The DX-VP is a little more expensive, priced at $17,325 for which it integrates Cruise control and daytime running lights. And the LX at $17,755 further adds 16-inch Steel Wheels and climate control.

Buying Advice

Engine and Performance
8.5/10

The 2011 Honda Civic gets a 1.8 L I-4 engine that prodiuces 140 hp and 128 lb-ft of torque. It is mated with a 5-speed manual for DX, DX-VP, LX, LX-S, and EX. While the 5-speed automatic one is there for everyone in a standard FWD layout.

In terms of driving experience, the Honda Civic can be described as perky yet refined. However, one can't expect a well-insulated cabin that keeps the undulation isolated from the passengers despite having a smooth revving and gear shifts.

The 2011 Civic has no official 0-60 MPH and quarter-mile timing as such but the 10.3-inch front vented disc and 7.9-inch rear drum brakes maintains its braking efficiency. And so do the ABS and brake assist in their own rights.

Model	2011 Honda Civic	2011 Toyota Corolla	2011 Mazda 3	2011 Hyundai Elantra
MSRP	$15,805	$16,660	$16,595	$15,695
Engine	1.8L Inline-4	1.8L Inline-4	2.0L Inline-4	1.8L Inline-4
Transmission	5-Speed Manual	5-Speed Manual	5-Speed Manual	6-Speed Manual
Drivetrain	FWD	FWD	FWD	FWD
Power	140 hp @ 6,500 RPM	132 hp @ 6,000 RPM	148 hp @ 6,000 RPM	148 hp @ 6,500 RPM
Torque	128 lb-ft @ 4,300 RPM	128 lb-ft @ 4,400 RPM	135 lb-ft @ 4,000 RPM	131 lb-ft @ 4,700 RPM
0-60 MPH	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
Quarter Mile	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
Top Speed	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A

As per data, the Civic has got 12 hp higher power than the Corolla while the Mazda 3 and Elantra outshine it by 8 hp. However, the Mazda 3 and Toyota Corolla can cost you almost $1,000 for such configurations at the same time.

Fuel Economy
6.0/10

"The Honda Civic has always been one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in its class" - The Car Connection

Nearly all the 2011 Honda Civic trims boast above-average fuel efficiency. Civics fitted with the standard 1.8-liter engine earn EPA estimates of 28 MPG city/36 MPG highway and 31 MPG combined. This allows it go for 475 miles at max in a stretch.

Model	2011 Honda Civic	2011 Toyota Corolla	2011 Mazda 3	2011 Hyundai Elantra
MPG (City)	28	27	25	27
MPG (Highway)	36	34	33	37
MPG (Combined)	31	30	28	31
Fuel Capacity (Gallons)	13.2	13.2	14.5	12.8
Range (City/Hwy/Combined) (Miles)	370/475/409	356/449/396	363/479/406	347/474/397

As per mileage, the Civic has 12 miles extra range reach over the Elantra owing to its 0.4-gallon bigger tank. On the other stand, it stands parallel against the Mazda 3 despite being 3 MPG more fuel efficient on the charts.

Interior
8.2/10

"Everything works wonderfully, but the design, textures and materials put its visual appeal in the bottom half of the segment." - Kelley Blue Book

Better-than-average front seats in the 2011 Honda Civic afford good support and a great driving position, helping in decent ergonomics. Even in base cars, the height-adjustable seats leave great headroom for tall drivers, though the seat cushions themselves are a bit short and drivers should make sure their knee doesn't rest against the hard handbrake lever.

The Civic's dash features an unusual gauge layout. An analog tachometer is in the traditional location behind the steering wheel, but a digital speedometer and gas gauge reside at the base of the windshield. Some of our editors find the two-tier display distracting, though others say it makes quick visual checks of speed easier.

Model	2011 Honda Civic	2011 Toyota Corolla	2011 Mazda 3	2011 Hyundai Elantra
Seating Capacity	5	5	5	5
Front Row (Head/ Shoulder/ Leg) (in.)	39.4/ 53.7/ 42.2	38.3/ 54.8/ 41.7	38.9/ 54.9/ 42.0	40.0/ 55.0/ 43.0
Rear Row (Head/ Shoulder/ Leg) (in.)	37.4/ 52.4/ 34.6	37.1/ 54.8/ 36.3	37.6/ 54.4/ 35.8	37.1/ 54.8/ 33.1
Cargo Capacity (cu. ft.)	12.0	12.3	11.8	14.8

Going by the dimensions, the Civic suffers in the rear row as its 2nd row legroom is 2-inch smaller than Corolla and 1.2-inch more cramped than the Mazda 3. While the Elantra outclasses the Civic in cargo volume by 2.8 cu-ft. For entertainment one has been given a 4-speaker audio as standard for the base DX.

In addition to these, the Civic also offers an AM/FM radio, and a CD player along with Bluetooth, a USB port, and a satellite radio. But the navigation system is available only for specific trims and that too as an optional. Some of the notable interior features have been mentioned below:

Adjustable Steering Wheel
Auxiliary Power Outlet
Ambient interior lighting
Bucket Seats
AM/FM Stereo
CD Changer
Bluetooth
USB port
CD Player
Satellite Radio

Exterior
7.0/10

The current-generation 2011 Honda Civic looked pretty far-out when it was first introduced, five years ago, but it turned out to be a trend-setter. And its automatic on/off headlights on front keep your vision straight and undistracted

Dashing in style on the 15-inch steel/alloy, 16-inch steel/alloy, and 17-inch alloy wheels, the Honda Civic appears like any typical sedan. One can even notice a power moonroof on top for high-end trims as their exterior ornaments.

Model	2011 Honda Civic	2011 Toyota Corolla	2011 Mazda 3	2011 Hyundai Elantra
Curb Weight (lbs.)	2,630	2,840	2,930	2,773
Length (in.)	177.3	180.1	180.9	178.3
Width (in.)	69.0	69.4	69.1	69.9
Height (in.)	56.5	57.7	57.9	56.3
Ground Clearance (in.)	N/A	5.8	4.7	5.5
Wheelbase (in.)	106.3	102.4	103.9	106.3

Coming on the compariso, the Civic is 100lbs, 200 lbs and 300 lbs lighter than the Elantra, Corolla, and Mazda 3 respectivelt. This simply translates to lower forward dive and center of gravity that can help to manage the dynamics more efficiently

Safety
8.5/10

The 2011 Honda Civic is a 5-star NHTSA rated 5-seater sedan that also scores "Good" in almost all IIHS parameters. Not just that, it is inducted in the "Top Safety Pick" segment too. Along with such a structural integrity, it has been armed with below mentioned safety features:

Daytime Running Lights
Child Safety Locks
Emergency Trunk Release
Front-Seat Side Airbags
Side Curtain Airbags
Vehicle Anti-Theft System
