Cliff Atiyeh reviewed the 2016 Honda Civic, and took special note of the latest generation’s improved look and feel. The Civic Coupe enjoys all of the enhancements of the new sedan, but it’s sporty looks call into question Honda’s decision to offer it’s turbocharged 4-cylinder with only a CVT. This is a 2-door Honda; should its goal be efficiency or driving excitement?

There is a 6-speed manual option, but it’s only available on the lower LX and LX-P trims, and is paired with a less potent, naturally aspirated 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine. Good for 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque, the 2.0-liter pales in comparison to Honda’s new turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder. Not only does that engine make 174 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque but it also delivers 31 mpg in the city and 41 on the highway, as compared to the 2.0-liter’s 26/38 rating. 

Undoubtedly, the CVT in the turbocharged Civic Coupe has something to do with the improved fuel efficiency. It’s not a bad transmission either, as we found in our review of the 2016 Civic sedan. The rest of the coupe carries over the same impressive elements as the sedan, too. A full LCD gauge cluster is easily readable and offers an upscale look for the driver, while the optional 7-inch touchscreen works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A Garmin navigation system remains an additional option.

The Civic Coupe is big enough for adults, with only an inch and a half less legroom behind the front seats, and the 11.9 cubic foot trunk is smaller than the sedan’s, but not unusable. Starting price ranges from $19,050 to $26,125. For more information on the 2016 Honda Civic Coupe, head to CarGurus: https://cargur.us/bj2Dp
