2016 Honda Civic Review: Civic Disobedience — An Original Rabble-Rouser Returns to Form The Civic May Be 40+, But It's Out To Show It Still Has Moves the compact car deck has become stacked in the past half-decade—coinciding with a down period for the Civic—as newer and shinier C-segment sedans with impressive features and driving zeal have drawn our attention. No more, says Honda. Following an undistinguished ninth generation, the Civic is out to show that it may be over 40, but it's still got it. The 2016 model's platform is all-new, lengthening the wheelbase 1.2 inches while chasing more sporting flair without totally losing everyday comfort.

Traditionally, the Civic's bodywork tends to lean toward clean and understated. Love it or hate it, the 2016 Civic's redesigned exterior looks to rouse the rabble.
