The 2016 Honda Civic had its Malaysian launch in June, and Honda Malaysia has high hopes for the new model. It’s meant to rejuvenate the slow C-segment sedan market, once again putting the Civic nameplate at the top of consumers’ minds. Can the FC Civic achieve that feat?
Here we have the range-topping Civic 1.5TC Premium, with all the bells and whistles. Under the hood lies a direct-injection 1.5 litre VTEC Turbo engine with 171 hp and 220 Nm of torque, enough to get it to 100 km/h in 8.2 seconds. With a CVT, it’s efficient too, claimed to average 17.2 km/l.
It sure looks the part, with LED headlamps, dual-tone 17-inch wheels and chrome door handles. Keyless entry is standard across the range, complete with walk-away auto-lock and an Engine Remote Start function – all shown in the video above. Do watch our walk-around tour of the 2016 Honda Civic for full details.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the blog post mainly focus on the Honda Civic’s build quality, with many criticizing the plastic interior and weld lines, especially on the doors, comparing unfavorably to other models like the HR-V. Several viewers express disappointment over the absence of fold-down rear seats, viewing it as a drawback for family practicality. Others discuss technical details like headlight choices, with some favoring retrofitted HID systems over LED, and highlight that the LED headlights in this model do not outperform HID in terms of light throw or clarity. There’s also frequent mention of overall quality issues, noise, and road comfort, alongside some lighter comments on presentation. Despite criticisms, many recognize the Civic’s stylish design and value for money, with some praising the review work.
