What if you asked Leonardo Da Vinci to make a few improvements to the Mona Lisa? Or suggested a few changes here and there to Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel? That’s probably what it felt like when Honda asked their designers and engineers to take one of the world’s best-selling and most-awarded four-door sedans sold in the past half-century and make it better. And so they did.
The new 10th-generation 2017 Honda Civic for sale near Davie, FL at Rick Case Honda is more stylish, more sophisticated, and more exciting to drive than ever. Redesigned in 2016, the new 2017 model carries over virtually unchanged from last year’s model. And that’s a good thing because there’s plenty to love about this latest version of the phenomenally successful Civic.

Sporty New Exterior
We love it when admirers lavish praises on the Civic. So we’d like to share with you what Aaron Cole, Managing Editor of TheCarConnection.com has to say about the Civic’s sporty new exterior.
“Last year, Honda introduced us to the Civic sedan and coupe, the 10th generation for the automaker, and one of the best. We think it’s one of the best-drawn, sleekest shapes on the road.”

Redesigned Premium Interior
We wouldn’t be at all surprised if “WOW!” is the first word that comes out of your mouth when you check out the 2017 Civic’s all-new interior. By every measure, Honda’s designers hit it out of the park, crafting a cockpit that marries a sporty vibe with a level of sophistication you’d expect to find on cars costing thousands more.
You’ll no doubt be impressed by the obvious quality that surrounds you. Fit and finish are just what you’d expect from Honda. In other words, this is one interior that gets an “A+” for smart design and superior craftsmanship. The CarConnection.com’s Aaron Cole says that the Civic’s redesigned cabin “…adopts a broad, horizontal theme, not unlike recent BMWs in the bow and swell of the major trim pieces.”
Yes. He’s comparing the Civic’s interior to a BMW’s. We think that says a lot.
Technology & Convenience Upgrades Galore
Moreover, Honda’s come up with a fresh new approach to the Civic’s instrumentation with a new simplified layout that’s clean, uncluttered, and easy to read. Step up to the ultimate Civic Touring model, and you get a snazzy 7-inch LCD screen with 270-degree tachometer and digital speedometer. It not only looks cool, but works great.
With seating for 5, you’ll also find the new Civic’s interior most accommodating, with ample head and legroom, available premium upgrades such as heated, 8-way power leather seats, and a host of convenient features. For example, the sporty three-spoke steering wheel’s integrated buttons let you control an array of function with your fingertips. Convenient 60/40 split rear seats give you access to the Civic’s spacious 15.1 cubic foot trunk. So if you need some extra space for your stuff, the Civic has you covered.
“Look ma, no wires!” If you hate fumbling with charging cords, you’ll love the convenience of the available wireless charging feature for your Qi-compatible smartphone. The standard USB Audio Interface lets you plug in, as well as charge, your compatible digital devices.
How’s this for even more convenience: Just keep your smart key fob in your pocket or purse, and you can unlock the doors with just a touch and engage the Start/Stop button to be on your way. And you can forget having to pull up on the parking brake thanks to the new electric parking brake, a segment first, that sets your brakes with the touch of a finger.

Pulse-Raising Performance & Handling
Speaking of joyrides, now we come to the really fun part. Want to raise your heartbeat without an extra jolt of caffeine? Then just settle behind the wheel of the new Civic, hit the start/stop button, engage the shifter, and get ready for an incredibly exciting ride.
There’s nothing “standard” about the Civic’s standard 2.0-liter, 158-horsepower, Earth Dreams i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine. It’s lively and fun-loving, with a six-speed manual transmission that snaps through the gears. And with up to an EPA-estimated* 40 mpg on the highway, you’ll love passing up the pump and keeping more cash in your wallet. Or you can opt for the smooth CVT that delivers power effortlessly and efficiently.
Turbocharged Excitement
A first for Honda in this class, the Civic’s available 4-cylinder Earth Dreams turbocharged engine puts 174 willing ponies and 162 lb.-ft. of torque at your disposal. It offers quick acceleration and lets you pass those big rigs on I-95 with confidence. Honda also re-engineered the suspension, giving the Civic a sportier, crisper, and more agile handling that matches the turbo’s muscular performance. The front strut, back multi-link design features a solid rear stabilizer bar and hydraulic bushings that smooth out the ride. The result is a car that balances sportiness with comfort for a compliant ride that’s simply a blast to drive.
