Road Test: Honda Coupe shows way Canadians love Civic - durhamregion.com
Just for the record, the number one selling vehicle in Canada for decades has been Ford’s evergreen F-150 pickup truck. While there are literally millions of ways to configure a F-150, Honda keeps it pretty simple when it comes to the Civic – a sedan or a coupe as tested here. There is a hybrid Civic sedan (base, $27,200) but production of that ends this model year. If you want a Civic-size Honda hybrid, there is always the CR-Z (base $22,990). There is no wagon, but the sub-compact Fit (base, $14,575). or HR-V compact CUV (base, $20,690) more than fill the bill. The Civic Coupe comes in four models starting with the entry LX, EX and EX-L with navigation. The fourth is the hotrod Si with 2. 4-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder with 205 hp and 174 lb/ft of torque. The CVT is standard on the EX-L Navi with a six-speed manual exclusive to the Si. All but the Si run on regular fuel with the five-speed model clocking 8. 6/6. 6/7. 7L/100 km city/highway/combined. The CVT comes in at 7. 9/6. 1/7. 1L/100 km for the LX due to its slightly lesser weight and 8. 1/6. 2/7. 2L/100 for the two EX models. Source: www.durhamregion.com
