2016 Honda Civic RS REVIEW | Impressive Style And Substance – But Lacking In Thrills
THOUGH YOU MAY BE LURED BY THE 2016 HONDA CIVIC'S EVOCATIVE RS BADGE, BE ADVISED, THIS IS NO PERFORMANCE HERO.
In fact, the Civic RS is really just a regular Civic sedan in activewear: same mechanical package dressed up with sporty styling.
But is that a problem? Well, not really. Honda enthusiasts may want more, but for most buyers the RS is a perfectly respectable compromise.
Vehicle Style: Small sedan
Price: $ 31,790 (plus on-roads)
Engine/trans: 127kW/220Nm 1.5 4cyl turbo petrol | CVT automatic
Fuel Economy Claimed: 6.0 l/100km | Tested: 7.9 l/100km
OVERVIEW
With five variants, the 2016 Honda Civic sedan range offers something for everyone… almost.
Hatch buyers have to wait until early 2017, and, if you’re after a manual there simply isn’t one: a CVT automatic is the sole transmission choice.
