As if you haven't read enough 2001 Civic reviews, here is another one from auto.com. Here is a bit from the article:
THERE ARE compact sedans with more power, there are compact sedans better equipped to catch the eye, and there are compact sedans that are significantly cheaper.
But for all that, I don't think there's a compact sedan going that's any better than the new Honda Civic. In fact, it's hard to come up with another car in this class that's even as good as the Civic.
