2011 Honda Civic

The Honda Civic has been a popular compact car and one of the most successful entries in Honda's fleet since its debut in 1972. The 2011 series is no exception, boasting the same classic quality, ease of use, and reliability that have earned the Civic its good reputation, while adding some exciting new innovations. If you're looking around for a small car that is simple, low maintenance, fuel efficient, and fun to drive, consider the 2011 Honda Civic series.

The 2011 Honda Civic series comes in five body types, each with varying trims and options. The five models are the Civic Sedan, the Civic Coupe, the Civic Si, the Civic Hybrid, and the Civic GX.

The Civic Sedan and the Civic Coupe are both available in DX, LX, and EX trims. The DX is the base model. It comes standard equipped with 15-inch steel wheels, automatic transmission and side/curtain airbags. The LX model is the next step up and offers some additional features such as 16-inch steel wheels, available manual transmission, and MP3 Player and USB port support as standard. The EX models offer the most features and amenities, upgrading to 16-inch alloy wheels and including a sunroof and six-channel audio system. Heated mirrors, heated seats, and leather interior are available in the EX-L trim. All coupe and sedan models come equipped with a 1.8 L 4-cylinder engine capable of 140 horsepower.

For a true driving enthusiast, the Civic Si offers all the upgrades of the EX model plus a more powerful 197 horsepower, 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine, manual transmission, and additional performance features like stability and traction control and 17-inch alloy wheels. The Si is available in both two-door (coupe) and four-door (sedan) models.

Finally, the Civic line boasts two of Honda's popular alternative energy vehicles, the Civic Hybrid and the Civic GX. The 2011 Civic Hybrid uses continuously variable transmission and seamlessly powers both a 1.3 L 4-cylinder gasoline engine and the hybrid battery. Heated seats are available as an option and automatic climate control comes standard.

Also available for the energy-conscious is the Civic GX. The Civic GX uses compressed natural gas (CNG) and boasts the cleanest tailpipe emissions of any internal combustion engine in the U.S.

The 2011 Honda Civic series offers a variety of improvements over its predecessors, including expanded choices for body color options, an improved navigation system, and boosts in engine and fuel efficiency. Combine that with Honda's excellent warranty and very competitive pricing and it's easy to see why this timeless classic is still as popular as ever!
