2006 Honda Civic

With more cars in the world than any other time in history, Honda knows the environmental challenge is more important than ever.

For three decades, Honda has played a leading role in meeting the environmental challenge. Our approach has always focused on those vehicle and fuel options we believe have the greatest real-world potential. The goal is not engineering prizes or newspaper headlines. The goal is to make environmentally friendlier products that our customers want to buy because the products are easy to own and fun to drive.

The Civic Coupe: Forward-looking, and thinking ahead.
Honda believes in advancing technology today, to protect the environment for tomorrow. With its sleek look and hi-tech interior, the all-new 2006 Honda Civic Coupe looks like a big slice of the future on your plate today.

Naturally the new Civic Coupe focuses on the environment. After all, its great-great grandfather the CVCC Civic—the first car to pass the emissions requirement of the Clean Air Act without a catalyst—marked a pioneering entrance for Honda on the environmental scene.

The sporty 2006 Civic Coupe qualifies as an Últra-Low Emission Vehicle (ÚLEV-2). The latest technologies, like i-VTEC® and a Drive-by-Wire Throttle System™, push the all-new Civic engine to pump out even more power, 140 hp, while boosting fuel efficiency, as well.

Finally, it's good to know that the Civic Coupe is among the many Honda vehicles specifically designed so that the various plastics used can be easily removed at the end of the vehicle's life for improved recycling. Experience a taste of the future, while making tomorrow look a little greener.

It features the latest, next-generation i-VTEC technology, which gives you all that go power with economy that you'd expect from a smaller engine. Choose the smooth-shifting 5-speed manual transmission or opt for the new compact 5-speed automatic transmission.

Confident stopping is provided on DX and LX models by front disc and rear drum brakes, while the EX sports discs all around.

This latest-generation Civic Coupe is the beneficiary of broad and thorough research in safety design from Honda. Sophisticated active and passive safety features combine to help prepare you and your passengers for driving in an unpredictable world. The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure enhances the vehicle's ability to deal with crash energy in impacts with vehicles of differing size. To help you maintain steering control during hard stops, an anti-lock braking system (ABS) is standard. The Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) system in the Civic Coupe takes into account how the car is dynamically loaded, and apportions braking force appropriately. The new Civic Coupe enhances your visibility to others by incorporating Daytime Running Lights (DRL) up front.
