Other features that have changed are the fog lights are slightly revised in the grill area to allow for a choice of Honda Civic vehicles with or without fog lights.

Newer Features

Interior changes to the design of the Honda Civic include leather wrap on the steering wheel that is optional and, blue tooth compatibility included in the Civic LX model.

The two-tier dashboard, including the digital speedometer, and inline 1.8 liter 4 engine are still included in the design specifications. The newer generations, seventh and eighth Honda Civics are now described as compacts instead of the more common subcompact term. The newer models include higher gravity centers, additional weight, which has lessen their attractiveness to the more passionate drivers.

The newer versions up dates are unwelcome for those who use the Honda Civic for more than just a family car. With the double-wishbone suspension located in the front of the later model Civics replace by MacPherson struts, some drivers feel the handing is no longer superior to the older Honda Civics and don't allow for needed control of the dynamic camber angle. All in all the newer model Honda Civics have a more aggressive design than past models.
