Test drove the new Civic, power is definitely there and gear changes are smooth despite being a 5-speeder. The car looks elegant in the metal but it lost the wow factor of the 8th Gen. But one thing that separates the new Civic from the old.....it's driving experience. Handling is top notch and car feels planted. If one is truly in the market for a new car, one needs to test drive the Civic and not just look at the spec sheet.

The only gripe I have for the car would be the engine cover which looks a little too common for my liking.
