In a segment as competitive as the compact car segment, it takes a lot for a model to keep pace on the sales charts. That's an area in which the Honda Civic has done incredibly well, but that hasn't stopped the Japanese automaker from updating it for the 2016 model year with an eye-catching new look and tech.

First drive reports of the Civic are just coming out now, and the reviewers are quite pleased. The styling--complete with a fast-back roof and handsome chrome front fascia--is getting high marks across the board, but the real story is in its driving dynamics. This car handles with increased compliance, and boasts two new four-cylinder motors: a standard 2.0 liter, and a 1.5 liter turbo.

If you want to try the Civic for yourself, the wait will be over soon. It arrives in dealerships this November at a slightly-higher base price than the model it replaces. To learn more about our exciting new Honda lineup, contact us at our Anderson, SC dealership.
