Earlier this week we checked out the 2020 Toyota Corolla which with over 45 million in sales, is the world's best selling vehicle.
On a yearly basis the Honda Civic tends to outsell the current Corolla, in fact the Civic has been the best selling car in Canada for over 20 years.
It wasn't that way back in 1996 when Graeme checked out the new Civic.

Best Civic ever period. And it's styling hasn't aged. It still looks good.

I've got that exact car - same year, same colour, 4 doors, automatic. Still drive it daily, and my mechanic tells me to keep it and not bother with newer cars. I drive new cars in my job, and when I get back into my '96 Civic to go home, I realize how much better it drives than cars that are 24 years newer. On 2 lane highways, I can get over 50 mpg (imperial gallons) if I hold it at 85 kph (about 52 mph) with cruise control . The interior ergonomics are basically perfect. Just went over 100,000 km (62,000 miles) on the odometer this past summer! My mechanic said that it could outlast me.

@d m if you really have only 100,000 km on something that age you could have a rare survivor of an old Civic. Another thing I like about old civics, really all older cars in general? They look nice & simple. Not the ugly fashion lines & the dressup & funky looking front ends that all new cars seem to have. Also, look how gorgeous & beautiful the simplicity is of those silver steelies👍. Again, not trying too hard to be overly dressed up like a new vehicle from 2022. Old Civic styling is absolutely amazing & the simplicity is a wonderful sight.

@@Blakecryderman7244 Still have it, still drive it daily, and it has 105K km on it now. Normally I don't put more than 2,500 km per year, but I moved recently, and put about 2000 travelling back and forth from my old place to the new one doing the move one car load at a time. In the past year, it needed a new brake line going to the rear brakes. That and the yearly oil change. I too like the pragmatic, functional, clean design.

@MR M ONMAN holy crap! That translates to 1.2 million KM! I’ve seen 10 year old taxi Prius’s do that, but you have an old car that’s actually done that over the course of many more years, that’s the real deal. Manual transmission I’m assuming? Do you still have it? If you do, what’s the mileage on it now?

I have a 99 civic, still running strong! I also have 2 other civic of the same generation, over 20 years old, still going strong! I have to comment about his remark about the rear defrost that turns on the A/C. Without the A/C turned on in winter weather when your defrosting your glass you build up moisture on all your windows while drive, this becomes a nascence wiping the inner glass of your windows, this civic automatically turns it on for you so it doesn't fog up your windows. Some other cars don't do that, and you have to turn on the A/C manually!

The rack of this vague steering is also too slow, while Integra or Type R's rack enlarges the already-bulky turning radius. Using “32-cm diameter” steering wheel solves both problems, but the instrumentation will be partially blocked.
