Ironically, I kpkb at the outgoing civic looks when first launch. Criticizing the fake vents and look like a hot wheels car. My ex neighbour then bought the 1.6 and after the mods, I kinda like it. I would have loved it if I were in my 20s. Now this new gen looks so mature. Not that it is not nice but it has those generic looks ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerful for a 1.6 NA too! The Concerto is the forgooten Honda, just like this model Civic below. Both may have been the best cars Honda every made in terms of reliability. Funnily looking at it again now, its looks just like a Honda City! Edited May 13, 2021 by Jamesc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roh96 6th Gear May 14, 2021 Share May 14, 2021 First glance from the pic, it lacks the 'wow' factor. 2nd glance at the spec, again it lacks the 'wow' factor. 1.5T at 130hp? Is this a standard spec worldwide or it is detuned for Spore only? I still like Honda car after owning one for > 13 yrs. Will i pay $125K for this civic? I find it hard to swallow. Perhaps it is about timing, too bad this model comes at a time when COE is going up. I doubt this car will sell in volume here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly more torque (200Nm) from the 1.0TC than the upcoming detuned 1.5TC What's the hp of the 1.0T? If above 130hp then it won't be in Cat A and so price will not be competitive. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if down the road will the 1L turbo be available in this 11th gen Civic. Avante Elite selling at $106k with a $15k VES rebate. Civic 1.5T selling at $125k with VES neutral (I was informed by Honda SE) Avante Elite OMV $21.5k approx, Civic 1.5T OMV unknown but based on current generation OMV is $26.4k. Seems to me margin for Avante is higher than the new Civic? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win-win situation for them. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xers007 Supercharged May 16, 2021 Share May 16, 2021 Nice or not nice very obvious, just look how well it sells. Gen 8 sold like hot cake, gen 9 none existence on the road and gen 10 are selling well again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winningeleven 4th Gear May 21, 2021 Share May 21, 2021 Gen 9 didn't sell well due to high coe price during that period (2012-2015) and the Euro civic hatchback is way much nicer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
