In most areas, the Civic gave reasonable protection although the driver's chest was at risk in the side impact. This is a vulnerable body region with a high risk of injury. Because of this, the last star has been 'flagged' to indicate there is concern. The Civic is fitted with driver and passenger airbags as standard equipment. The car performed reasonably in the pedestrian tests - a third of the head impact sites gave enough protection to meet proposed legislative requirements, the others split between weak and poor.
