2009 Honda Civic GX Trim Overview

For eco-conscious drivers, in addition to the Hybrid trim, Honda offers the Civic GX. This vehicle, available exclusively to fleets as well as in New York and California, is powered by a 113-hp, 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder that runs on compressed natural gas and is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. Front discs and rear drums can be found behind its 15-inch wheels, and the suspension is a MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear.

Air conditioning and cruise control accompany a CD/MP3 stereo with digital media connection, a center console, power windows, mirrors, and door locks, as well as a tachometer and remote keyless entry as far as creature comforts are concerned. Floormats and a 12-volt outlet are more utilitarian, along with an integrated rear window antenna, rear defogger, and two-speed intermittent wipers.

Three-point belts can be found on all seats, although the front buckets get an automatic tensioning system and active head restraints. Further safety features include dual stage/threshold front airbags, as well as front side and side curtain airbags, side impact door beams, daytime running lights, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
