More reason to doubt Consumer Reports' evaluation, namely on problematic ride quality of Civic?

"I actually changed lanes on our way into Detroit to get on worse roads to test the Civic. Not only did it pass with flying colors, but the Honda has brilliant ride and handling paired to a responsive and creamy powertrain," raved Timmins. "Somewhere a Hyundai engineer is scratching his head trying to figure out how to make a car ride this well."

I wasn't able to test the handling and engine power (just one highish speed corner), but I thought the ride was pretty good and I don't think I've ever driven anything else that was better to be honest (but of course keep in mind that I have driven very limited cars, but that included some BMWs and Camrys).

Almost every other reviews other than those referring to CR I have read when the car first launch also praise the ride quality.

BTW, as always, I am using ASEAN version as reference (2.0) so there may be very big differences or none at all, i guess we will never know
