The Beauty of the Civic Mugen Si Sedan


The Civic Mugen Si Sedan was a beautiful fuse between the genius of Honda and Mugen. Actually, Mugen has been a long partner of Honda, giving the best body kits for any hyped-up Civic. Also, it is the first four-door sedan to ever wear Honda's badge of “Si”, and it will be the first in the country to wear the name of Mugen. Thus, this fusion created the beauty that was the Civic Mugen Si Sedan.

It was created from a “Formula Sport” concept, adding aggressiveness to the Civic. Its Twin Ring Motegi track-tuned suspension, aerodynamic body styling and performance exhaust system caused a lot of Civic-lovers to drool over this baby. It is a must-have indeed, and Honda has yet proven its ingenious capabilities to revolutionize the Civic for everyone. Just imagine how great it would be to live the Honda Civic Life.

Why should we drive the Hybrid?


The genius behind the Honda Civic Hybrid is the people's struggle to beat the continuous gas price increase. After all, those oil magnates did not think that they could outsmart car owners forever, did they?


The idea behind the power that drives the Hybrid is the revolutionary Advanced Technology Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle (AT-PZEV) rating. This means that it gives you better gas mileage, while at the same time helping the environment enjoy its freedom from harsh pollutants. As a matter of fact, it was named the World Car of the Year Award for greenest car in 2006, and it was among the highest fuel economy ratings. It also received recognition as the Best New Car for Commuters in the 2007 Cars.com awards. Honda understands not only its patrons, but its environment as well. Thus, the Honda Civic Hybrid is a manifestation of how the Civic undergoes its evolution to satisfy everybody's welfare. Just imagine how great it must be to live the Honda Civic Life.

Honda Civic on the fast lane


The ultimate racing film to hit the streets of Hollywood is undoubtedly The Fast and the Furious. This flashy film has it all---the guys, the girls, and the cars. But what is more interesting is how they were able to optimize the 1995 Honda Civic Coupe. One unforgettable scene was when the lead cast enacted their Modus Operandi to steal from a container truck. The 1995 Honda Civic Coupe was utilized as the cars who could hide under the truck and move with the same speed and agility to be the getaway car.

Of course these stunts are possible with the help of the production people (because in reality, the Honda Civic is not that small to fit underneath a truck), but the effect was still perfect. The 1995 Honda Civic proved its flexibility and versatility in the movie. It was all pimped out with green underglow, and it was also used for some racing scenes.

This only proves how timeless the functionality and style of a Honda Civic is. With all the possible things that you could do with it, just imagine how great it must be to live the Honda Civic Life.

Honda Tops the J.D. Power Survey Results


Honda placed second overall in the J.D. Power Survey for the second year. It strongly scored in all four categories---vehicle reliability, vehicle appeal, service satisfaction and ownership costs. These latest results are equivalent to Honda's stable place at the top five for the past five surveys. The Jazz finished first in its own category, making it an undefeated streak since it was first introduced in the 2004 results. The Jazz also finished third in the overall model ranking table, making it Honda’s highest achieving model to appear.

Plus, the Honda CR-V remains the best-selling sports utility vehicle this year, a title justified by the J.D. Power survey, in which CR-V was voted second in its segment. Total sales of 8,133 petrol and diesel models during the first four months of the year, make the CR-V more popular than its closest rivals. Since its launch in January this year, the Civic Type-R has raced up the sales table, clocking up more than 1,800 registrations. Meanwhile, the Civic 3-door and 5-door models continue their attack on the sales charts. With over 13,000 units sold this year across the four variants, the combination of futuristic styling and practicality clearly still resonates with buyers.(Civic 3-door: 1,894 petrol, 673 diesel. Civic 5-door: 6,781 petrol and 3,948 diesel.)

Aside from all these, the Civic bagged the following prizes too: New Civic was voted Best Compact Family Car; Civic Hybrid was awarded 1st prize overall Environmental Transport Association 2007 Awards for the second year running. So just imagine how great it must be to live the Honda Civic Life.
