2012 Honda Civic LX: Scores too low for Consumer Reports to recommend
http://news.consumerreports.org/cars...medium=twitter
That's not good.
The redesigned-for-2012 Honda Civic LX scored too low in Consumer Reports testing to be recommended. Let that sink in for a minute. It’s quite a fall.
The Civic has long ranked among CR’s top small sedans, having been a Top Pick as late as 2007. It’s also long been reliable, and we don’t expect that to change in the not-extensively-redesigned 2012 model.
So what happened? The new Civic feels insubstantial with a cheap interior. You don’t get much feature content for the $19,405 that our Civic LX automatic costs, either. That’s a problem given the high bar set in this class by the new-to-market Chevrolet Cruze, the redesigned-for-2012 Ford Focus, and the redesigned-for-2011 Hyundai Elantra.

Hyundai, Chevy, Ford, Kia are all constantly improving their lineup, while Honda and Toyota are just resting on their reputation. I'd buy any of the aforementioned vehicles before the new civic. They barely even redesigned the body.
