| The concept behind the body design of the Civic was to position the tires at the 4 corners of the body and widen the wheelbase and tread in order to focus on increasing handling stability and comfort. Together with its trapezoid-based styling, these features meant that the Civic was well received even in Europe, the home of small cars. |
