The EX-Trim is the one to choose in this 2016 Honda Civic's lineup for it balanced proposition. Pounded by 174 hp I-4 engine with heated comfort seating as standard, the EX-T offers the best trade for its price tag. It also has improved infotainment and entertainment units as extras for its investment over the base configuration.
"It combines practicality, efficiency and everyday comfort with modest to maximum dashes of sportiness." - Kelley Blue Book
The 2016 Honda Civic has a standard 2.0L I-4 engine that makes 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. It couples with either 6-speed manual or CVT in the standard FWD layout for the LX and EX trims. However, its combo with manual transmission is confined to LX configuration only.
If you crave even more thrilling drive then the 1.5T I-4 powertrain is also there that churns 174 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque for the EX-T, EX-L, and Touring editions. It has been hooked with the same FWD platform but it chooses to be hitched with CVT only for all.
Coming on the performance front, the Honda Civic vouches for a 8.2 seconds 0-60 MPH acceleration and 16.3 seconds quarter-mile drag. It can even hit a top speed of 119 MPH without breaking a sweat. Meanwhile, the 1.5T engine does the same 0-60 MPH 1.5 seconds quicker.

"Honda Civic's fuel economy ranges from good to great." - The Car Connection
Returning a combined mileage of 29 MPG, the 2016 Honda Civic stands decent in its fuel economy. And its 12.4-gallon fuel tank helps it to achieve a range of 360 miles on average too. But one may see overall efficiency shooting to 36 MPG as we switch to 1.5T I-4 from the base one.

"Civic's interior is full of premium materials and top-notch plastics." - Kelley Blue Book
After the redesign, the 2016 Honda Civic has now even bigger and more spacious cabin adorned with cloth upholstery for the LX, EX, and EX-T. While, the EX-L and Touring has been ornamented with leatherette touches all over the seats, steering, and inserts.
As far as comfort and ease are concerned, that is spirited by the heated front seats in the EX-T trim while the additional rear row heated seats come standard for the Touring edition. Also, a trunk capacity of 15.1 cu-ft has been given in the back that stays consistent for all.

In terms of dimensions, the Corolla owns a rear row that has 4-inch better legroom than the Civic but has a cargo deficit of 2 cu-ft against the latter too. In the meantime, the Hyundai falls short by 4-inch rear legroom and 0.7 cu-ft smaller cargo capacity. Apart from that, a 4-speaker audio beats your playlist for the LX.
In addition to that, a 5-inch LCD display has been incorporated inside the space. Get in the higher trims and you confront 7-inch high resolution, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and 8-speaker audio from EX onwards. Beside that, there comes Honda Satellite-Link Navigation System for the Touring format as well.
"It features aggressive and unique styling on the outside." - TrueCar
The 2016 Honda Civic is now one of the best-drawn, sleekest, most appealing shapes on the road. At the nose, there's a strong band of chrome that brackets the grille and headlamps and knits them together. It's not alone, though. There are slits, intakes, creases, not to mention a bevy of textures and colors like Crystal Black Pearl and Cosmic Blue.
It's more formal, busier in appearance than the simpler deep-set grille on, say, the new HR-V hatchback. Down the side, the Civic's 16-inch/17-inch wheels intersect well with steeply surfaced sills; at the rear, the lovely roofline tapers into another set of bracketed lamps that really masks the fact that the Civic is a sedan, not a hatchback.

As per figures, the Civic has 1-inch higher ground clearance than the Elantra and 0.2-inch higher than the Mazda 3. Also, it is 260 lbs heavier than the Elantra because of which the former has to have extra cornering lateral shift, thereby, affecting the stability. Some of the exterior features have been mentioned:
"Combined with very good safety ratings from official testers and available advanced safety features, the Civic is a good car hiding in plain sight." - The Car Connection
The 2016 Honda Civic has scored a perfect 5-star in the NHTSA crash tests along with "Good" safety rating in all IIHS parameters except headlight. This allows it to lay his hands on the "Top Safety Pick +" category of the IIHS. In addition to theese, there are safety features on display too that have been mentioned below:
The 2016 Honda Civic and the 2016 Toyota Corolla are two top-dogs in this segment with their impressive structural build, safety assets, and overall practicality. Though the Civic has got more power, the Corolla goes farther with its better range capacity. In terms of seating Corolla might appear more comfortable but trunk volume favors the Civic. So, both are at par with each other.
The 2016 Honda Civic has been engineered to be an aggressive drive just like the 2016 Mazda 3. However, it does not have the reach as that of the Mazda 3. But with better cargo capacity and seating roominess, one might overlook that void. On the whole, one can go either way.
The 2016 Honda Civic and the 2016 Hyundai Elantra might have edge over one another in power surge and range coverage respectively. But the cabin arrangement and comparable safety suite keep them on the same level. Therefore, the preference tail could tilt any side.
The 2016 Honda Civic is a great option if you’re shopping for a compact car. It offers crisp handling, a roomy interior with luxe style, a smooth ride, fuel-efficient engines, and many advanced safety features. The car gives you the complete value for your money.
