Honda rises up once again to meet environmental challenges with the 2011 Honda Civic GX, a natural-gas powered vehicle with a convenient heap of standard features. While this car's 4-cylinder, 1.8-liter engine may seem modest, Honda's next-generation i-VTEC technology kicks up the power significantly. The Civic GX is a certified PZEV (partial zero emissions vehicle) that gets an incredible 36 mpg highway gasolinesequivalent.
Honda's reputation for legendary performance and reliability manifests itself in every inch of this Civic's build. You'll enjoy superb handling courtesy of Macpherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension, while Honda's Drive by-Wire throttle system gives you an incredibly responsive ride. All the essential safety features are here, including dual stage, multiple-threshold front airbags, side curtain airbags, front side airbags, anti-lock brakes, and side-impact door beams. The Honda Civic GX is chock-full of convenient features such as a rear window defroster, a center console with a sliding armrest and storage compartment, power doors and windows, and air conditioning. A 160-watt AM/FM system with speed-sensitive volume control (SVC) is compatible with your iPod or MP3 player, so you can easily take your music on the go.
