Volvo is not known to gloat about pull.

WHAT WE LIKE: The Civic's size and anxious undercarriage make it a close perfect errand sprinter. Editors have applauded its mobility and speedy guiding, and in addition its liberal 15-cubic-foot trunk that is pleasantly molded for boxes and staple goods and so forth.
