2008 Civic Sedan

You'll understand that the new Civic is something far beyond the ordinary when you first lay eyes on it. It has been completely redesigned from the inside out to deliver you more control, more wind-cutting aerodynamics, more technology. And, best of all, more fun. Slip behind the wheel and your first impressions are confirmed. The new interior is space-aged cool and super functional. The new two-tier instrument panel helps you concentrate on the road better, offering a prime view of the information you need most, with less eye movement. The new Civic Sedan also boasts other goodies, such as 4-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system that's MP3 and Windows Media Audio® (WMA®) compatible. The EX-L adds two more speakers and keeps audio system controls close at hand on the 2-spoke steering wheel.

But what makes the new Civic so breakthrough becomes clear the moment you head out on the open road. The latest i-VTEC® technology, a Drive-by-Wire Throttle System™, 16 valves and 1.8 litres let the all-new Civic engine make 140 peak horses. This power flows through a precise, new 5-speed manual transmission or the only available 5-speed automatic in its class.
