2000 Honda Civic
The Honda Civic, the best-selling small car for the last three years, is unchanged for the 2000 model year. This is expected to be the last year for the current design, which arrived for 1996. The Civic line offers more variety than most competitors: three body styles, four engines and three kinds of transmissions.
Honda says all three body styles seat five, though it's a squeeze to fit three adults into the rear seat. Two six-footers have adequate space in back, which is more than can be said of most small cars. All models have a split rear seatback that folds for additional cargo space. They also have a modern, attractive dashboard that places controls where they are easy to see and operate while driving.

2000 Honda Civic Features
All Civics use a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, but it comes in four different flavors. The CX, DX and LX models have a 106-horsepower version available with five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmissions. The HX coupe uses a 125-horsepower version available with manual or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Instead of having four forward gears, the CVT operates like a dimmer switch, automatically changing among an infinite number of gear ratios based on engine speed. The EX coupe and sedan have a 127-horsepower engine and either a manual or automatic transmission. The Si's dual-camshaft engine makes 160 horsepower and teams with a five-speed manual.Performance
There are good reasons the Civic is the most popular small car. Reasonable prices, top-notch quality, reliability and high resale value are among the main attractions. Variety is another. There are Civic models for the economy-minded and the performance-oriented and others in between. All provide at least adequate acceleration, commendable ride and handling, and comfortable accommodations.

2000 Honda Civic Likes and Dislikes
Nice touches:The dial system for climate control. No looking at fancy display screens or multi-clicking on buttons. Turn the knobs up or down for fan or heat; turn the knob to the picture of the airflow option you want. Simple.
Annoyances:
The placement of the cruise-control on-off button on the dash, while putting the set/resume cruise buttons on the steering wheel. Honda should put the on-off button in the middle of the latter cluster on the wheel and keep them together.
