If you’ve been driving a Honda Civic sedan wishing you had the Coupe’s front bumper, you wont have to pray much longer. Honda’s facelifted 2009 Honda Civic now has the three scoop bumper and I’m certain many people will opt to replace their current bumper with the new version. Where the old version looked like a buck-toothed bull dozer, the sedan’s new bumper looks much curvier and is easier on the eyes. Aside from the new bumper and minor grille update, there are no dramatic changes in the new 2009 Civic model year.
Inside the cabin, Honda is still offering the same optional DVD-based satellite navigation system that we saw on the 2007 Civic Hybrid model, but has added Bluetooth hands-free capabilities to the system. Oddly enough the Honda navigation still offers that weird PCMCIA card slot that allows the use of a digital memory card and PC Card adapter to store MP3- and WMA-formatted music.
Honda has also added a new LX-S trim level, which is a sport-styled LX model, and a DX-VP trim level that sits just above the DX trim level and adds air conditioning and an audio system, which inadvertently brings to focus the fact that Honda even offers a radio-free Civic DX in the first place.
The powertrains are carried on from 2008. [adapted from cNet]
