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

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 7)

    Ok, the title might be slightly misleading, but there is still a Japan-link.  So, pufferfish. Specifically, a wikipedia entry called Pufferfish mating ritual.  Long story short, one particular species of pufferfish make complex geometric circles in the sand to attract a mate. And this particular species is found only in Japan.  It's beautiful. It's bizarre. And it's absolutely amazing.  From the wikipedia entry: In a 2014 documentary by the BBC, narrator David Atten

    Curry does not exist?

    Curry. When many of us think of Indian food, we naturally think of curry.  Except, well, 'curry' isn't actually a thing. Not the word, and not even technically the food that we think of.  Many of us probably think of curry as some sort of dish that has a gravy or sauce. But that is in fact a generalisation of a wide variety of Indian dishes, and also a decidedly Western invention intrinsically tied to India's Colonial past. 'Curry' as a word doesn't actually exist in the languages spok

    Journey to the West: First Steps in Southwestern China, Pt. 2

    Note: Click here to read Pt. 1, where the journey began in Hong Kong. NEXT UP: CHONGQING Day 3, cont.: Dad had decided on the scenic route to Chongqing - train. We did not realise that the immigration process at the Hong Kong Kowloon West station involved both the Hong Kong and Chinese authorities, so we found ourselves in a rush to board the train (we boarded minutes before the scheduled departure). Through the eight-hour journey, the passing sights made me realise the diversity
