Indeed, under Cat-A Sedan choices like Toyota Altis or Mazda 3 may strike as a better choice in terms of value & style. But it's this Honda Civic 11th generation that really shines with it's comfort & joy of driving that eventually shows where your money has really gone to !
Many may avoid this Civic as a selection choice mainly due to it's pricing & exterior design. For me, this Civic design will definitely stand the test of time !

What I like
1) Powerful Engine & Smooth Pickup Speed

2) Love it or Hate it exterior design
(I definitely like this retro & mini-Accord look !)

3) Honda Sensing Safety features makes driving a breeze with it's software drives the car for you in a safe manner !
(of course driver needs to be on the control too)

4) Biggest amount of front & rear seats space (compared to Altis & Mazda 3)

5) Simple yet Premium interior design !

What I do not like
1) CVT sometimes can be noisy but for awhile only once it's speed is stabilised.

2) Seating height can be a little low thus exiting from car may takes time to get used to it.

If your looking for some turbo power in your family sedan, this Civic is your option. It comes with a new and cleaned up design, along with a more premium interior as well.

What I like
The drivetrain is impressive. It still sounds not-so-great thanks to a CVT transmission, but the cabin is kept quiet enough so it shouldn't really be a problem, and there's acceptable push from the engine as well. Not fast per se, but still enough to make the car feel unstrained on the go.

But the real improvement in the new Civic is its cabin. The honeycomb design is ok, nothing really special to look at in my opinion, but the way the controls click are all very impressive. Build quality is also good, although it still doesn't quite match up to the Mazda 3, which comes with a more clean interior still, all wrapped up in leather.

What I do not like
Yes, yes, halogen head lights, and the use of black plastic everywhere in the cabin, and the engine bay is a complete mess of cabling. You can't have it all I guess.

Design wise, this new civic is probably the best indication of the model growing with its audiences. Back in the 90s Civics are the prime boy-racer cars. Now, like the people who used to enjoy them, the Civic has matured.

This new Civic has a milder, but classy look, I suspect it will age much better than the outgoing model.

What I like
- Simpler, classier design
- Quality interior
- Same nice Honda drive as expected

What I do not like
- Looks like power has been curbed, probably for the sake of COE category here. Would likely be able to unleash more power with aftermarket mods and tunes.

Review
Had hope that this generation of Civic had really improved after browsing thru some reviews. Turns out the reviews may have been too lenient on the car.. Interior styling is pretty nice and practical. Exterior is really questionable.. But it can look good in certain colours. Sadly the engine is down tuned to fit into our unique market but it can't be helped since this is ultimately a BnB car. The car expectedly drives ok and well during normal conditions.. Push a little harder and you'll realise that it's not meant for any form of spirited driving with its engine and CVT setup.. Handling of the car is good but it's Japanese competitors are also good if not better in this aspect..

What I like
+ Wireless Apple CarPlay
+ 1.5L turbo means lots of potential at your own risk
+ Spacious and practical cabin
+ Honda Sensing and Lane Watch
+ Nice illuminated scuff plates

What I do not like
- CVT drone is terrible when pushing a little harder
- Loud engine and road noise
- NVH is average
- Halogen headlights!!!?? On the flip side it's cheaper to replace if the bulb blows… but come on….
- QC/Build Quality.. not sure if it's due to MIT..

Having owned this car for about 2 months now, it simply brings a smile to my face when I drive it. No doubt it may not be the fastest car around but the handling is one of, if not the, best in this class. The steering is so light compared to my old car and the spacious interior and comfortable seats also feel very premium. Even the doors feel solid and heavy compared to my previous car which felt light and cheap. Initially was comparing this car along with the Cerato, Avante and A3, but went for this car instead. In fact, I bought the Civic even though I only test drove the Cerato and Avante which I felt the enjoyment in driving these two cars was sorely lacking. Plus, having owned a Hyundai before my previous car I can say that although they have improved leaps and bounds, you still can not get the same fun factor compared to driving a Civic. Also comparing with the A3 which I felt was quite cramp inside especially the rear. While the other Korean makes have lots of fancy features which the Civic doesn't have, the drive itself beats these two cars hands down. To be honest, most features that you need are already equipped in the Civic unless you want to nitpick. Of course there will be comparisons to the 10th gen turbo which produce much more power and torque, but due to the nature of the COE this car was down tuned to cater to Cat A. Nevertheless it is still adequate for daily driving and pickup is just enough to overtake most cars. Although I have found a couple of tuners who are able to unlock much more power from the engine I will enjoy it for now. Honda sensing is much improved to my surprise compared to the first generation Vezel sensing, it really adds a lot of confidence in your driving and I can say that it is pretty accurate. As for the exterior, looks are really subjective - I didn't like the look of it initially from the pictures but you have to see the car in person to really appreciate it. It no longer has the boy racer wannabe looks from the 10th generation where the fake vents doesn't make the car look nice (unless it is the Type R), instead it looks more mature and more Accord like. Overall I am really pleased with the car so far - does it justify the price tag compared to the competition? Maybe not. But is it a better car than the Korean cars? For me that's a definite YES.

What I like
- Responsive engine and smooth CVT
- Cabin Space
- Honda Sensing performance
- Great handling
- Wireless Apple Carplay
- Premium feel across the board in the interior

What I do not like
- Wireless charging performance is tacky if you use a MagSafe case.
- Head unit Equaliser could have more tweaking options
- Wished it came with Dual pipe exhaust instead (Look nicer)
- No LED headlights (because FOMO, not like you can see when you are sitting inside)

Review
The new Honda Civic now comes with a simplified exterior design that is a little more grown up than the previous generation.

What I like
The turbocharged engine may be less than what most people are expecting, but still delivers on smoothness and refinement. It is paired to a CVT but it still sounds ok as long as you don't push the engine too hard.

Cabin feels properly premium and well put together. I think the honeycomb pattern in the dash will give all passengers something to talk about and the air-conditioning vent controls are a classy touch.

What I do not like
The new Civic is asking for a lot and does not even come with LED headlights when the Honda City does. Lane watch should also give you a camera feed on both sides of the car instead of just the passenger side.

Review
Simply the most enjoyable car to drive in all respects. Excellent driving position. I've previously owned eight Honda Accords over 30+ years. I wish the current Civic had been available sooner. The styling is "Marmite" - you love it or hate it. I have got used to it and like it.

What I like
cvt transmission beautifully smooth.

What I do not like
Fuel consumption slightly lower than I had hoped
