Test Drive: 2004 Honda Civic EX Coupe

Would you let your grandfather loose in a Honda Civic EX Coupe? Well, perhaps, if he had a history in motor racing. So that's why I'm test driving a car aimed at guys and girls less than half my age. (Note: GM's car czar Bob Lutz and race team owner Paul Newman are in the same age group. Ha!) The Honda Civic Coupe EX, however, can be enjoyed by anyone. Aside from the raging red paint job, this car grew on me and by the time I returned it to Honda I'd succumbed to its many charms.
