The Taillight looks more upscale. A nice refresh from Honda.

A big improvement on a car I had no problem with to begin with.

I wish the media had gone ape **** on the 2009 Corolla when it came out. Toyota better not **** up the 2014 Corolla.

Anything was an improvement. They did a good job tidying it up.

Rear end has much nicer lights. They should have just made them horizontal from the start. Front end looks strange though. It now has a moderate smiley face.

hm, here from Europe, it looks like facelifted car from 2008.
I like our Euro Civic hatch a lot better.

At least we know Civic will keep its #1 title in its segment. Very nice refresh. The SI looks sweet.

An improvement yes, but the goofy interior and exterior lines still remain, and now the front end has a mini-Mazda smile going on. The interior and exterior lines cannot be fixed until the full redesign years from now.
