Civic Sedan

Available now at our Portland Honda dealer, Griffith Honda of Oregon is the 2009 Civic Sedan. The Honda Civic Sedan is a 4-door, 5-passenger family sedan, available in 16 trims, ranging from the DX 5-Spd MT to the EX-L 5-Spd AT w/ Navigation System. The spacious Honda Civic Sedan is the ideal vehicle for driving in the city of The Dalles, Oregon or the Portland area.

Upon introduction, the DX 5-Spd MT is equipped with a standard 1.8-liter, I4, 140-horsepower engine that achieves 26-mpg in the city and 34-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard. The EX-L 5-Spd AT w/ Navigation System is equipped with a standard 1.8-liter, I4, 140-horsepower engine that achieves 25-mpg in the city and 36-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The current Civic is available as a coupe or sedan. Both styles share five main trim levels: base DX, LX, EX, EX-L and Si. The sedan also features DX Value Package, LX-S, Hybrid and GX trim levels. In terms of premium features, the DX is pretty limited, and you’ll have to jump up to the higher trims to get amenities such as air-conditioning and power accessories.

Look to the new LX-S if you want a whole lot of value along with sporty 16-inch alloys, a rear decklid spoiler and more.

Powertrains and Performance

All trims but the Si are powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 140 horsepower. A five-speed manual transmission is standard and a five-speed automatic is optional. Driving enthusiasts might want to take a look at the Civic Si. Offered in both coupe and sedan body styles, the Si is powered by a high-revving 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that pumps out 197 hp. It comes exclusively with a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission.

The Civic GX is powered by a 113-hp 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that runs on clean-burning compressed natural gas. The Civic Hybrid features Honda’s latest Integrated Motor Assist system, which consists of a 1.3-liter four-cylinder gas engine and a 20-hp electric motor. Total output is 110 hp. The Hybrid comes exclusively with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and its EPA-estimated fuel economy is 40 mpg city and 45 mpg highway.

Safety

The Civic’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure enhances the vehicle’s ability to absorb crash energy in frontal impacts with vehicles of differing sizes.

Standard on EX-L, Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) can detect oversteer or understeer and brake individual wheels and/or reduce engine speed to help restore you to your intended path of travel.

The standard anti-lock braking system (ABS) helps you maintain steering control during hard stops, while the Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) system apportions appropriate braking force depending on how the vehicle is dynamically loaded.

Interior Design and Special Features

Settle in to the luxurious leather cabin and heated front seats of the highly refined EX-L. Or go with the sporty new LX-S, which features exclusive silver-stitched black upholstery.

The two-tier instrument panel clearly displays all the information you need so you can focus on the road. Invite friends along for the ride—the Civic Sedan seats five comfortably, thanks to a flat rear floor.
