Honda has created five different Civics to give buyers the option to get the car that matches their lifestyle. For 2012, Honda offers the Civic Sedan, Civic Coupe, Civic Si, Civic HF, and Civic Hybrid. Each one has unique characteristics that give the buyer the chance to get their perfect car.
The Civic Sedan has 4 doors, 16″ alloy wheels, and is available in alabaster silver metallic, cool mist metallic, crimson pearl, crystal black pearl, dyno blue pearl, polished metal metallic, taffeta white, and urban titanium metallic. Inside buyers will find the new intelligent Multi-Information Display, which operates as a Bluetooth Hands FreeLink.

It allows the buyer to upload photos, shows the current song playing, and it’s all displayed on a high-resolution color TFT LCD display.
The Civic Coupe is similar to the Sedan, but has a sporty, sleek shape and is available in several different colors. The Coupe also comes with the i-MID system and is iPod ready.
