Compact sized, reliable and with a good resale value, the Honda Civic sedan was a choice for many Americans, and the 2005 generation made a good step in offering a better design.

While the car was sold on various markets around the globe, the U.S. Civic version looked different than the others, which were available in the U.K. or Europe. They shared the same platform and the same body structure, but there were differences in some details.

The U.S. version featured straight-cut angular headlights, with a sharp look. Between them, there was a chromed bar across the grille. The raked A-pillars for the windshield inspired a sport-compact sedan and it was not far from truth depending on the engine version.

Inside, the two-tier instrument panel placed the speedometer on top of the dashboard and the tachometer and other information regarding the engine on a lower cluster, behind the steering wheel. The infotainment system on the center stack was offered as an option for the base trim level. The comfort inside the car was decent for four passengers. The independent suspension in all corners ensured a smooth ride. For the SI version though, the firmer dampers could affect that.

For the engine compartment, the Civic Sedan was offered with a 1.8-liter unit or a 1.4-liter hybrid system mated to a CVT transmission. For fleet owners, the Civic was available with an LPG version.
