American drivers are changing and part of that change directly affects the Honda Civic-- in May of 2008 the Civic unseated the Ford F-150 as the best-selling vehicle in America (a title the Ford truck had held since 1991. After nearly 40 years at or near the head of the economy class, the Civic finally stood at the head of every class! Selling north of 350,000 Civics a year here in the United States, you shouldn't have trouble finding an excellent used one for sale wherever you search.
Lift the hood and our Japanese friends in the Honda engineering group will surprise you—plenty of power and quickness from a relatively small package! Civic sedans sport a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 140 horsepower and a 26 mpg around town (34 mpg on the highway). The Civic is quick without being fast, performs well without being a sport suspension, and the ride is smooth and comfortable.
From the driver's cockpit vantage you'll sense a smaller than normal steering wheel to help with parking, a large windshield to enhance vision, and no hump in the middle of the floor-- which carries through to the backseat greatly improving rear passenger comfort. Recent Civic Sedans feature power windows, a tilting and telescopic steering column, a 12-volt power outlet for those essential chargers and other devices, and upgraded trim packages include air conditioning, sunroof, cruise control, a navigation system, and leather interiors. The Civic Sedan's dashboard layout has been reconfigured to position the speedometer closer to the windshield in an effort to minimize eye movement away from the road—a good thing!
Civic sedans have a wealth of safety gear included as standard. Airbags are dual front, side, and curtain, there are active head restraints that help prevent whiplash, a tire pressure monitoring system, ABS, and keeping with the needs of the Honda Civic Sedan's core market, they include child-proof rear door locks. The Civic is a 'five out of five' star winner for driver and passenger safety (for front-end collisions and rear passenger safety in side-impact collisions) and rated "Good" by the IIHS.
With so many new Honda Civic Sedans sold every year, finding the perfect used car for sale is as simple as a mouse click here. If only deciding on the right used Honda were so easy.
