Some 306 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque drags me through the final corner and onto the start-finish straight at Mont-Tremblant. A mechanical limited-slip differential and dual-axis strut suspension, plus twin-pinion electronic steering absorbs all trace of torque steer as I grab another gear and fire 1,415 kg of Honda toward turn one at a rate of knots

Ah, the hatchback. It’s the automotive world’s multi-tool. It can be sporty and stylish, or practical and, well, odd-looking. The practicality of a hatchback version makes it arguably the best choice of the three body styles Honda knows a thing or two about making hatchbacks; they’ve done it for a bunch of decades now and sold them arou

Vehicle Type Sedan or Coupe History/Description In 2011, the latest-generation Civic hit the road as a 2012 model year vehicle with numerous updates and enhancements. Canadian-built and highly recognized as one of the smartest choices in its segment, the 2012 Civic carried forward with an award-winning reputation for reliability, durabil

So I was building and pricing a 2015 Honda Civic Si Coupe on the Honda website as one does, when I noticed that the cost of freight/PDI was a mere $820. Well, that was a surprise. Good for Honda, was my first thought. That’s about what they charge in… Then I checked the URL and realized I was on Honda.com, not Honda.ca. Of course. Back to realit

Honda’s new Civic has been grabbing more praise and awards this year than any other car. The automotive media just love it, including my peers at AJAC who voted it the Canadian Car of the Year . And then there’s that colour. Energy Green, Honda calls it. I called it Kermit on Wheels or the Flying Sneeze, depending on my mood. The Civic

The Honda Civic has been the best-selling car in Canada for like… ever . It’s so far removed from any Civic that has come before, I’m having a hard time convincing people this car actually is a Honda Civic. Expertly reflecting our national taste in vehicles, the Civic has resolutely stood for solid, basic, economical and reliable trans

Collingwood, Ontario – The all-new 2016 Honda Civic sedan is so different from the current one that its appearance is rather shocking at first. Not only is it considerably bigger – 75 mm longer, 20 mm lower and 126 mm wider with a wheelbase that is 30 mm longer – but it has a much sportier bodystyle with prominent arches over the front wheels, a fa

When it comes to passenger car vehicle sales in Canada, I guess you could call it the Civic Authority. For nearly two decades, the humble Honda Civic has been the best-selling car in Canada. The Ford F-150 outdoes it, of course, but eliminate fleet sales and work trucks and the car that Canadians most turn to to get around has a Honda badge o

� If you’ve come here looking for information on these two cars because they’re on your shopping list, you deserve a pat on the back since it shows you’ve been paying attention. Like us, you’ve probably come to expect that the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla are solid and sensible modes of transportation. Each company sells an impressive numb

The road, pock-marked and rough, rises sharply and then falls away to the right. Slick with dew, the uneven tarmac is slippery and the curving undulations force the inside front tire into the air. Spookily, it hangs as the Civic Hatchback glides over the top of the hill and transfers all its weight to the outside. For a moment, I’m tense. “When thi

The all-new 2016 Honda Civic saw its global reveal last night but much to my chagrin, unfortunately, the reveal seemed to focus more on an up and coming indie band than it did the highly anticipated car itself. The debut of the all-new Civic is a big deal for Honda. While sales have remained strong for the ninth-generation Civic, enthusiasts and

Honda's back in the hatch game with a prototype five-door version of the 10th-generation Civic , revealed yesterday at the Geneva auto show. Ostensibly designed primarily to satisfy Europe's appetite for a small hatchback's added practicality, we know the car is coming here thanks to a press release teasing the car's North American reveal later th

Apparently keen to jump on the "Save the Manuals" bandwagon, Honda has confirmed its forthcoming Civic Type R will be sold exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission. The update follows a few days of rumours the hottest Civic variant would be offered with an optional continuously variable automatic (CVT), the transmission enthusiasts l

Aided by a new design and the long-awaited return of a hatchback to the its lineup, the Honda Civic was once again – for the 19th consecutive year – the bestselling vehicle in Canada. New for model year 2017 is the Civic Hatchback, which launched last autumn and I suspect will seal the deal for Honda for the 20th straight year. The styling of

Honda's hottest Civic has become the fastest production front-drive car to circle the Nurburgring's famous Nordschleife race track, achieving the feat in a shade under seven minutes and 44 seconds (7:43.80). That time is nearly seven seconds shorter than the outgoing Civic Type R's time, and breaks a record set just last November, when the VW Go
