Driving performance

The car rides along the road exactly, as if on rails. However, there is one nuance concerning the chassis. It is important that the road is level. A good asphalt can boast of a route far from all regions. If the car will move along bad, broken roads, then the driver, like all his passengers, will find out about all the "charms" of this asphalt. Another minus is the noise in the cabin. Unfortunately, the developers of the car "Honda Civic" (2008), whose technical characteristics are really impressive, thought poorly of the insulation. The interior really gets too much noise from the contact of tires with the road surface.
