The Civic is as easily associated with a grandmother’s runabout as it is with a boy-racer’s blank canvas, a versatile small hatchback (and sedan) range with variants to suit almost any taste.
Take one look at the RS we’re reviewing here, and you’d think it’s almost certainly in the latter sporty camp. But that’s not what sells in the hatch market anymore.
To stay competitive, today’s hatchbacks need to be almost as well-equipped as their SUV counterparts and, if the market is any indication, don’t need to look anywhere near as aggressive as the RS.
Which is why, despite it’s looks, the RS holds some surprisingly luxurious touches. Stick with me as I explain.
