    SAFETY AND SECURITY RATING:

    We'll hold off on the full five stars for now, as the Civic hasn't yet gone through EuroNCAP crash testing.

    Honda reckons it'll rate the full five stars for front and side impact safety, three stars for pedestrian safety and four stars for child protection. That would make the Civic one of the safest cars in the class, an achievement we've little doubt they'll make.

    For the record, the Civic has dual front and side airbags, electronic stability control, active head restraints, emergency brake assist, seatbelt pretensioners and five three-point seatbelts.

    The Civic does equally well on the security front, with a rolling-code engine immobiliser, deadlocks, a perimeter security alarm and an integrated radio.
