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.
Performance-wise, this car delivers what you'd expect from Honda. Honda's Drive by-Wire throttle system gives drivers a seamless, responsive ride, while Macpherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension provide superb handling. 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.
