Even as sales of sedans dropped in many markets around the world, the Civic continued its rise and this is clearly seen in Malaysia. Though it still has some competition in the form of the Toyota Corolla Altis and Mazda 3, the C-segment sedan market is diminishing in choices. Ten years ago, the Civic e
