The 2022 Honda Civic is proof that Honda\u2019s mojo is back with a vengeance. If you\u2019re old enough to remember, the Civic gave Honda some proper street cred from the 1990s to the early 2000s by offering rev-happy engines, clever usage of space, brilliant ergonomics, and lasting durability \u2013 not to mention one of the best manual transmissions in the business. And now here we are, 11 generations later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When that VTEC kicks in, you better be holding on to something. But with the advent of i-VTEC, Honda mellowed down like an aging superstar athlete. Take the seventh-gen Civic, for example. After blowing our pants off with the fantastic sixth-gen Civic EK, we got the seventh-gen model with fish styling, a MacPherson strut front suspension instead of those magnificent double wishbones, and a subdued i-VTEC engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh, don\u2019t get me wrong: The Civic has always been an excellent car to drive. The engineering is spot-on, but every Civic after the EK model went through an identity crisis of sort. I\u2019m not the biggest fan of the outgoing tenth-gen Honda Civic, and it has a lot to do with its robot fa\u00e7ade and busy styling, Type R<\/a> be damned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
