Honda scrambled to fix these things for the 2013 model, but the damage was already done, and Consumer Reports had already dropped its recommendation of the Civic for the first time in the model’s history.
The new model has only just been announced on YouTube, but things are already looking better. Not only has the styling improved, but the base engines have gotten more powerful and for the first time ever, there will be a Civic Type R sold in North America. The car will actually take several different forms, but so far Honda has only unveiled the sedan version.
