2012 Honda Civic

[Connemara]

I really like the current gen of Civics. Not so sure how I feel about the 2012. Front looks good but the rear just looks wrong. doesn't feel like a Civic.

I think it's the front that looks wrong"”as if someone had stepped on it. (Someone very large, that is.) I'm also not a fan of the "space age" dash. I drove Civics for over a decade from the early '90s on and enjoyed 'em, but this wouldn't be the model to lure me back.

 

[yjeezle]

not bad imo... front could use a little work...

front isn't too bad. first thought that came to mind with the the tail lights is that they are C300-esque.

Don't like the front, not really my thing.

Front = smushed Jetta
Profile(side) = Corolla
Rear = Camry taillights (previous gen no less)

Interesting. This looks like a combination of the early 2000's design + the new design they introduced in 06. The front windshield isn't nearly as sloped as before, they added curves to the front and the back, and a new gas mileage display.

That's exactly what I thought when I saw it. The dash looks cool but that picture doesn't capture the fact that it is deep as hell.

I have a 2010 CIvic Si and I don't really like the styling. Seems like they just keep getting worse. My personal favorites are the EK9s.

My opinion: if you're looking for a fuel-efficient compact, just get a Prius.

The car looks fine. Well I like the front and find the rear boring, but I don't see any glaring

interior ugly. apparently drives very boringly also.

+1. I think its fine. The back end does look a bit big I guess, but they seem to making the civic more the mid-size car in their line I suppose to put it at a higher price point maybe.

I'm sure it is. My 2010 Si is okay to drive but it's only exciting once you get above 4k rpm. But as a summer beater, it's not bad. Sure beats putting $100 worth of gas into my truck to fill up.

It looks OK for a $15k car, as is expected from any other car in the same price range

Debating its looks is just like discussing design qualities of a pair of $75 square-toed Johnston and Murphy shoes
