Ride & Handling
Performance ratings for the Honda Civic 11th Generation are among the best in the class. The car is well-handled, rides in a composed manner, and has a powerful engine lineup. The fuel economy on the Civic is also quite good. The new Civic 11th Generation does have better ride performance but lacks good acceleration.
The CVT is responsive and pairs well with Civic engines. With its responsive steering, this car is remarkably easy to maneuver around corners. While riding on rough pavement, it provides a comfortable ride, and it has powerful brakes.
Maintenance
Honda Civic is not a new name in the market and as it is locally assembled, its auto parts are easily available. Its maintenance and repair is also easy as all the mechanics have extensive knowledge of the car.
Competitors
Honda Civic competes with Toyota Corolla Altis Grande and Toyota Prius in the Pakistani market. Honda beats both the Altis Grande and Prius due to its larger dimensions and better stability but Toyota has a strong and loyal fan base in Pakistan due to which it gives a strong competition to the new Civic.
