Honda Civic had to finish its trip in the Indian market because of continuously slumping sales facts, but the tale is not same everywhere. It has turned the firm bigheaded at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. The vehicle has pocketed an honor from the Women’s World Car of the Year group. The honor was awarded to Honda at this year’s Paris Motor Show.

The Honda Civic was selected as the victor for the Economy Car group with second and third positions going to the Volkswagen UP and Ford Fiesta respectively.
The Honda Civic was chosen from the first entry record of 300 vehicles that were selected by 20 female judges from 11 nations all over the globe. The judging board for the Women’s Car of the Year evaluated the vehicle as per the standards females mull over when purchasing a vehicle that comprise security, value-for-money, artistic look, storage room, effortlessness-of-driving, color, sex appeal, ecological footprint and child affability.
