Regardless of model, there's nothing fancy about a Civic interior. Itis well-designed, roomy and comfortable, with materials selected more for durability. This perception of solidity is reinforced by monochromatic color schemes (your choice of beige, gray or black). Instruments and controls are simple in layout and function. A base Civic has but three instruments--speedometer, fuel gauge and coolant temperature. Uplevel models add a tachometer. Switches are easy to reach (these are compact cars!) and carry clear markings. Honda has added a bit of color to the previously black-on-white instrument faces, a small but attractive update. If the Civic cabins are a bit plain, they make up for that by providing enough room for four adult occupants (or two grownups and three children) and nearly 12 cubic feet of trunk space. Another commonality of the Civic lineup--in fact, of Hondas in general--is lots of glass area, affording very good driver sightlines.
