There's more to life than sensible shoes.
From the February 1983 issue of Car and Driver.We've known all along that the Honda Civic wanted to be more than just sensible. You could feel it in the sharp pulses of power transmitted by the gas pedal. You could see it in the subtle aerodynamic reshaping of the nose in 1982. The Civic wanted to come out and play, but apparently it had to stay inside for piano lessons or something.Maybe Honda figured that a sporting Civic was too unseemly.
Expansion joints signal their presence with a decided thump, and there's not enough rebound damping to soothe the rear end's springiness. Furthermore, the tread noise from the tires makes you think someone has secretly slipped off-road rubber under the fenders.Freeway work hardly amounts to torture, however. The ride is acceptable, helped out by comfortable seats and a good driving position. The optional air conditioning and radio work great.
