While it won’t win any beauty contests, as with many things – it’s what under the skin that counts. The hottest Civic to date is not only a formidable every day car, it’s also a very competent car on the circuit.

Not only does the Civic have a strongly innate sense of balance, the improvements over the previous generation will make this one of the all time great performance cars for the record books.
