Honda Civic, The Perfect Teenage Car

Your son or daughter is growing up and is now a teenager and you want to help them spread their wings, but in as safe an environment as possible. When it comes to buying them their first car, which they no doubt may refer to as my ride or my wheels, there are many choices but none as clear or right as the Honda Civic. Ranked in the top ten in many reports the Honda Civic comes with a stellar safety rating, and excellent reliability record.

Now, let’s take a moment and go back to 1976 where we will see the launch of the all new Honda Civic. Since then it’s fame has continued to grow. Due to not only its visual appeal, but also it’s record of reliability. Let’s not forget to mention it’s sustained high safety ratings.

Now, zoom ahead with me, and we’ll see that the eighth generation Honda Civic while boasting a 0 to 60km/hr time of just 8. 6 seconds, still delivers that famous reliability, safety and fuel efficiency it has become known for. Factor in the low cost of insurance and it’s not hard to believe it is the number one rated car for new drivers. This could ultimately be the perfect car for teenagers everywhere.

Honestly, the parent searching out their teenagers first car, and the teenager seeking their first “wheels” aren’t going to have the same criteria on their lists. The parents list will likely include safe, reliable, efficient, economical and low maintenance. On the flip side will see the teenagers lust for speed, appeal, comfort, personalized accessories and of course let’s not forget sporty. Everyone who has seen the movie The fast and The Furious, knows what teenagers like.

With all the emphasis on buying locally these days, the Honda Civic has got you covered. It is currently produced in two locations in North America. So while it may not be built around the corner, or it may be, it is a locally produced North American vehicle. While the 2009 release of the Honda Civic has brought some changes, much of the technical details have remained the same.

Now, let’s factor in the Honda Civics lighting system. Their lights are reported to give such super focused illumination as to provide an superbly bright and clear path for your teenage driver to follow. The taillights are said to increase your vehicles visibility by a large margin.

The Civics lights will make your vehicle look sleek and elegant, while providing excellent visibility. Their color temperature ranges from 4300K to 30000k. And to top it all off, the Civics lights draw considerably less power, thus increasing the life and reliability of your vehicles electrical systems.

Add to that the fact that the Honda Civic has the highest rating for overall performance. It repeatedly receives excellent reviews for its interior and exterior features. It is a very valued car, and has mostly a five star rating.
