The launch of the all new Honda Civic 2016

Over the past few years I've become particularly fond of the Honda brand of cars. It is probably due to their reliability and simplicity. Maybe its also because a Honda Accord took my family and me to a lot of places over the past four years or so.

Which is why I expected no less from the new Honda Civic which was launched in Dubai recently. It has been called the 'Stunning Civic' for its sporty look and added features.

On first glance the 2016 Civic sets an all-new standard in compact car style and performance. With sleek, sporty lines and an improved power-to-weight ratio, it is charismatic, spacious and stylish but also the most efficient in its class. In addition to a brand new engine in the LXi and EXi grades, it also boasts  of a new grade equipped with a new turbo charged 1.5 litre DOHC Direct Injected Inline-4 cyclinder Engine and will be called RS.








Convenience features include a Remote Engine Starter which starts the engine from a distance, ensuring that the car is cooled before you enter. There's also a Smart Entry and Push Button Start. The Electric Parking Brake replaces the hand lever with a compact, easy to operate switch, the Automatic Brake Hold function eliminates the need to keep the foot on the break when at a hill or an
intersection.

A special mention must go towards the safety of the vehicle. A number of safety technologies benchmarked the 2016 Civic to receive a 2016 Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in United States of America, making it one of the safest cars amongst its segment.

What particularly took my fancy was the super cool blue version of the vehicle. There are a host of colours to choose from. What is your preference?
