The new Civic hatchback had just made its debut at the recent Frankfurt Motorshow. However, the engine range looked relatively unchanged with the exception of the fuel-saving measures. With its European competitors adopting forced induction solutions, there is little chance of survival with just a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated unit under the bonnet.

 

However, Honda fans need not despair. According to AutoExpress, when the Type R arrives in 2013, it will be the first ever turbocharged Civic, and in a 2.0-litre guise. It will produce approximately 210 horsepower, which is in the region of the current VW Golf GTI. The horsepower figure is not ground breaking but at least it

I am proud that I have recently bought my new 2010 Honda Civic EX-L with a good voice command system and iPod integration. I even had to take a cash advance for it. I must confess that fuel economy is also excellent it includes the basic features I have always looked for in a tech car. However, I must say that it needs an update badly to keep up with the competition. And also, not very good quality maps sometimes make route guidance a complicated task, and some cabin tech functions react a bit sluggishly. The two sets of buttons for voice command overlap on the steering wheel. But in general, I am very content with the purchase

  • Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    The Joys of Morning Walks

    Like most other folks stuck in the rut of smartphone-hyper-use, I recently caught myself doing the same each morning: Waking up to immediately reach for my phone. Reflecting on the first quarter of the year, however – and realising that I’ve been subconsciously plunged into an extended bout of languidness – brought me to the realisation: Perhaps it's time to embrace a different routine. One that started with stepping outside into the crisp morning air, and feeling the gentle warmth of

    Ready? Steady? Slow!

    Have you ever watched on of those baby crawling races? They are hilarious. I watch a lot of NBA, and sometimes they have these races as a halftime entertainment. And its hilarious because unlike most athletic races, there's an inherent unpredictability and chaos to these things. They get distracted, they get bored, they get tired. Babies doing baby things, you know.  Well, England thinks it can one-up the absurdity of racing: Introducing to you, Snail Racing.  It seems almost

    The Music that Shaped Me, Pt. 2

    Note: If you’ve stumbled onto this post without any context, do read Pt. 1 here first! It is said that the average person’s music taste starts to solidify early on in their adult lives, and by their early 30s they will begin to say things like “Music was better in my day”, “>insert your favourite artist or genre< is not real music”, something to that effect. Of course, I am speaking generally. With four more years to go till I hit 30, I’d like to think I try to expand my tastes o
