Exterior

 Good

Final Words

Good things : I am using this car since sep-2008 till date.  I can suggest this car for those who respect money as it is true value for money. Good power will help smooth driving in heavy traffic with air condition. The location of speedometer is remarkable as always the driver can see the speed. Good leather interiors and other accessories will like everyone.  In highways, it will give tremendous average if drives at 90-110 Kms speed.

Bad things: Low ground clearance is the biggest problem to drive in a off road or uneven road. HONDA has to give more concentration of front mounting / suspension system as I have changed it in 25K kms. I got it changed in free of cost but I scare that as I have finished the warranty.  Fuel economy is comparatively less because of high initial power.  

Overall, from my experience, this car is true value for money, Go ahead.

Areas of improvement  

 Ground clerance and power steering is not so smooth

 

Power and initial pick-upLow ground clerance

 

Exterior Excellent looks. The new civic looks even cooler then before. Looks more wider. The ground clearance is best in its segment.new color urbanium titanium is good.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Its a super smooth car with excellent space and comfort.though i feel its little low on fearutes.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox No one can beat honda in engine performance. Its very quiet and smooth. You wont even come to know that the engine is running at times. Its so quiet.it has excellent gear ratio and smooth shifting of gears.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Its the best.super smooth drive and excellent handling.

 

Final Words I love it. Every time I drive it, I still want to drive it more. Just cant get enough of it.

 

Areas of improvement Please add some cool fearures in the civic,make it more automatic. A large display with touch controls would be super cool. Push button start,electronic adjusted seats with memory settings,steering volume controls.

 

Good drive,good handling,super smooth,good stylelow on features,fuel efficiency best in its segment

Civic is Extremely costly. Honda network is also not very wide. Spares are very costly.

FIAT LINEA at 40% lesser price more equally comfortable. Offers more features, although Linea 1.4 90Bhp is slightly under power than Civic but 90 Bhp is no less and given wide Tata network and very honest pricing. Excellent styling, it offers much more than Civic

Tata-FIAT definitely desreve better buyer response

Honda Image that Results in OVER CHargingPoor Ground Clearance. Costly.Looks smaller than C-Segment Cars

No car can compete this one!! This is my most favourite car which I would like to have!! In fact may be everyone like this.

My plan is to buy this car: the first ever car I want to buy by my own money... however, dont know when will do it.

I had sat in this car once and really the feeling which it trasferred to me was amazing: The looks, style, comforts, interiors, everything dam good.

I drove this car once and the pick up I have ever got in this car is so far the best. I feel this car is most valuable even in comparison to mercedes or BMW...

THe best part I like to see in this car is its digital speedometer with the bars rising as per your speed. The blue or white light gives very good effect in the car...

Really if anyone has lots of money to put in car; I would like to suggest them HONDA CIVIC!!!

Last but not the least I would request the people once to test drive this car if possible & get that feelings...

Comforts, Luxurious, Style, Looks, Interiors & Exteriors is really good.none

Mine is a black - Honda Civic 1.8s - i took delivery on Feb 2nd 2008. The Car has head turning looks both at night and day, particularly in black.

The Car's pluses are

1. Interiors

2. Performance

3. Drivetrain (1500 to 3000 rpm) - u can jus keep goin in 3rd even in the city.

4. Handling is Amazing - U will feel the car is in in railings !!

5. Ride -- is neutral - not bad and not too good too. (No problem as long as 4 adults - when 5, think twice before taking it on bad roads)

Minuses

1. No Xenon lamps - whereas octavia comes with it (being in the same league); Since this car has twin headlamps for low and high beam -- it will set u back by 38,000 for fixing it off-market / in addition ur warranty will be devoid :(

2. Ground Clearance -- the suspension is too soft - so till 4 onboard u jus glide on the road -- when there is 5 - body knocks  often when going over pits and sends a thunder into the cabin.

Mileage: 11 km in Highway / 9 in the Hill (the car can comfortably cruise in 3rd gear with 5 people and A/c on) / 8 to 9 in the city.

I drive really hard -- so u won't get any figures less than quoted above -- if u do get -- it's time u catch up with ur dealer.

Overall: An Amazing car with looks & performance to add, that won't fade soon / not for mileage calculators.

In short: For people who say "I'm 40 years young " & not for people who say "I'm 40 years old". Later - please check out ur nearest toyota showroom!! Octavia --- hmm -- but the dealer in my city is pathetic -- so no comments!

Stunning Interiors, Head turning looks particular if in black, Performance, Handling par excellanceGround Clearance when Fully Loaded (5 Pax) is very bad

Hi

i have just got my CIVIC hybrid and all i can say its amazing - folks its not a car that you can burn rubber with , and frankly if you need a car to burn rubber with then buy an audi/bmw or something to that extent. the normal civic is phenomenol but it does struggle with the mileage.

the car functioning is SEAMLESS and brilliant, its been only 48 hrs that i have the car but have driven inaround delhi, the car is returning 15.5kms /l average...... compare it to the 9.5-10kms that a normal civic would do.

the only only down side is that the spare tyre is a doughnut and not a full tyre!, (why would Honda not give this as a full tyre specially when the main tyers are Goodyear NCT ( Made in India),  also i liked the double barallel exhausts on the rear , my hybrid has only one!!!!:-)

any one looking at buying a civic in the next 2-3 months,  my take is defer the decesion , watch this space, am sure Honda will react to the fact that the Hybrid will FLY off the shelves at 13-14.5lacs bracket..... 

i am and will always be a what we call a "petrol head" with a manual gearbox ,  Honda has done a good JOB!

regards

 

 

Exterior A very good looker. very futuristic.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are very futuristic. interior space is great with lots of storage space for knick knacks, huge door pockets. very good plastic quality too (much better than corolla's). Space is great due to long wheelsbase. once 6 footer behind another is not a prob. flat floor at the rear makes for comfortable seating of 3. It is decently equipped too unless one wishes to have features that hardly get used like sun roof and cruise control.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is great and very refined. hardly any noise at idle, though it has considerable lag below 3000rpm. its also very quick and stays planted at speeds in excess of 150kmph. Fuel economy is fantastic. the fuel indicator shows an avg of 11.8kmpl in city with ac running at moderate speeds. this figure is aided by good driving and using appropriate gears at different speeds on my part. gear shift is good.

 

Ride Quality & Handling There is a very nice mix ride and handling. steering could do with more feel but isn't as lifeless as honda city's. its great to hold and has a short diameter. driving position is good but visibility is poor due to high dash and thick pillars.

 

Final Words Overall its a brilliant package. should appeal to individuals and families alike. though slightly on the expensive side but its surely worth it. honda service quality and attitude is very good. its been my mate since a year and i love it to bits.

 

Areas of improvement Visibilty, exterior build quality.

 

engine, fuel economy, interior space, speedometerexterior build quality as compared to european rivals, poor visibility.

I drove a cousin's Civic the other day. What a beauty! From the outside, the car was a real looker. Low slung, with those beautiful 5 spoke alloys and jet-afterburner like taillamps. Even the mirror stalks (mounted directly on the doors rather than plastic mountings) looked different.

Inside, it was even more impressive. The forward sloping dash design managed to liberate a lot of space inside. The console and the digital speedo were mind blowing, and so aircraft like! Only the seating seemed a little low. Perfect for enthusiastic drivers like me, but may be tiresome for elderly people on long rides.

On the move, the car simply takes your breath away. The pickup is strong and urgent, and the manual gearshift clicks into place with strong, short throws. In no time I was slinging the car around corners. Even though this car had done 26K kms, there were no rattles inside the cabin. In all, it was a hushed, fast drive that I thoroughly enjoyed.

According to the owner, spare parts (and general servicing costs) of the car are pretty expensive. His car also sees frequent highway use, and its performed reliably throughout.

If I had the money, I would definitely switch to the Civic (V version - I own a Verna CRDI SX ABS currently). But I dont, so heres one for the wishlist!
