NHTSA CRASH TEST RESULTS
Overall Safety Rating

Frontal crash ratings:
Driver: *  *  *  *  *  Passenger: *  *  *  *  * 

Side crash ratings:
Driver: *  *  *  *  Rear Passenger: *  *  *  * 

Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and airbags.

NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING: *  *  *  * 

The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating essentially measures vehicle characteristics of center of gravity and track width to determine how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).

2003 Honda Civic Review
"Civic makes only detail changes for 2003 after adding a gasoline-electric Hybrid Sedan as an early '03 model. Coupes and sedans come in DX, LX, and top-rung EX trim; there's also a fuel-economy-oriented HX coupe and a sporty Si 2-dr hatchback. All have a 4-cyl gas engine, a 2.0 liter in the Si, a 1.7 in the others. The Hybrid uses an electric motor to assist a special 1.3-liter gasoline engine. As with Honda's hybrid-power 2-seat Insight, the system recharges the batteries when coasting or decelerating, eliminating plug-in charging. Civics come with manual or automatic transmission. The automatic used in the HX and Hybrid is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with, in effect, an infinite number of ratios. Front side airbags are standard for the Hybrid, optional elsewhere. ABS is standard for EXs, the Hybrid, and Si, and unavailable otherwise. The Si has its own hatchback body, mandatory manual transmission, sport suspension, and standard sunroof. For '03, most Civics get new gauges ringed with blue lighting. HX and LX exchange a cassette player for a standard CD unit. LX joins the EX as the only models with a height-adjustable driver seat. Sedans have restyled taillights. And EX coupes exchange steel wheels for alloys as standard."

NHTSA CRASH TEST RESULTS
NHTSA CRASH TEST RESULTS

Frontal crash ratings:
Driver: *  *  *  *  *  Passenger: *  *  *  *  * 

Side crash ratings:
Driver: *  *  *  *  Rear Passenger: *  *  *  * 

Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and airbags.

NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING: *  *  *  * 

The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating essentially measures vehicle characteristics of center of gravity and track width to determine how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).
