CR says Civic is a loser.

"The magazine criticized the new Civic sedan's ride quality and driving dynamics
"It's a lot more dumbed down to drive," said Champion.
Champion called the Civic's steering too numb and said the car's body leans too far in turns."

haha

People purchasing a Civic Sedan aren't interested in how it corners. They're interested in a car that gets oodles of MPG's and is more reliable/lasts longer than the family's golden retriever.

Not a Civic fan, but F consumer reports, F it to H!

Agreed. F'em. These are the same guys that complained about the trunk space in the Viper when it initially launched. Trunk space....really?

Did they really? They need to stop letting non-car people write car articles.

Aside from eveyone bashing the Civic, it sucks that it has received very low ratings which means that Honda has lost their quality edge.

Call me a purist but curse the day Japanese cars get labled for lacking quality.
