Honda Civic Coupe - current generation (Re-Imagined)
« on: March 16, 2018, 08:39:36 pm »
I like what Honda has done with the re-designed Civic, especially the Coupes with the turbo. I'm thinking of buying one, I have heard that they have lowered the stance and therefore the ground clearance. I was wondering if this has caused problems for people who drive their Honda Coupe in the winter months, such as grounding out on snow days?  I mainly drive in the city (Ottawa) and the roads are adequitly plowed ...mostly.  I was just wondering if this has caused problems in the winter for Civic Coupe drivers? I currently drive a Pontiac SunFire and have never been high-sided or stuck, I'm wondering if I would be as lucky with the new Civic Coupe?
I would appreciate any opinions or advice that you have for me, Thanks' in advance  ??? 
LETS' DO THE "TIME WARP"... AGAIN!!!

I would think you'll be fine if you currently drive a sunfire.  My Golf R is a bit lower than a regular Golf and I've never gotten stuck and the roads in Fredericton aren't plotted that well.  Sure I sometimes plow some powder with my nose but it's never been enough that I am concerned.

If you like the Civic why don't you park your sunfire next to one to see how much of a difference there is.  I'm going to bet it is about the same.
