Hi everyone,may i know how to identify a real Civic Type R(JDM) and normal Civic 1.6,1.8 and 2.0?
-
Hi Bros, Just wanna make a poll to see which is the preferred car in this forum? :) -
hunting 1.8/2.0L car now, civic is in the top of my shortlist, even SE said 1.8 and 2.0 not much different, but the SOHC still can't so make sense.... ,I civic 2.0. in my observation, on the road almost 90% civic are 1.8, is it only due to long waiting period + 2k price different or some other hidden problems

There's no greater cardinal sin in the automotive world than completely replacing a highly successful model with an inferior machine. According to Consumer Reports, that's precisely what happened with the 2012 Honda Civic. Says David Champion, senior director of Consumer Reports' Auto Test Center: "While other models like the Hyundai Elantra have gotten better after being redesigned, the Civic has dropped so much that now it ranks near the bottom of its category." Just how far has the Civic fallen from CR's grace? The 2012 model's 61 points is a precipitous 17-point drop from the 2011 model's score of 78. That discrepancy is enough to force the Civic out of CR's Recommended list of automobiles. The only small sedan to score lower than the Civic is the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta, which has also been widely accused of too-obvious cost cutting compared to its predecessor. Many of the Honda Civic's fiercest competitors, on the other hand, scored very well in CR's latest round of compact car tests. The aforementioned and recently redesigned 2011 Hyundai Elantra earned the top spot overall, followed closely by the 2012 Ford Focus, 2011 Chevrolet Cruze and 2011 Kia Forte hatchback. Also performing adequately but no longer considered class-leading are the Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sentra and Mazda3. http://maintenance.autoblog.com/2011/08/01...nsumer-reports/

Honda CEO Takanobu Ito has told Auto Express the Civic Type-R is still on track to go on sale sometime in 2015. We already know from Honda UK Managing Director Dave Hodgetts the car will offer at least 265 bhp (198 kW) but they are trying to squeeze around 300 bhp (224 kW). Power will come from a turbocharged 1.6- or 2.0-liter engine, with higher chances of seeing the larger displacement under the hood. Development of the model is conducted specifically for Europe and will include several findings obtained from the firm's experience in the World Touring Car Championship. Testing will begin this fall at the N

It doesn't make any sense to me to compare a cheaper car with a more expensive car and then when the conclusion is that the more expensive car is a better car than the cheaper car. But I believe there are many who cannot really decide between the cheaper Altis and the more expensive Civic and are stuck in the decision making. And also it seems that the cheaper car does have some things to beat civic despite being cheaper so worth to have the comparison. Certainly in terms of 0-100km/h timing and fuel economy, civic wins. What about other factors? I will start off with spaciousness and occupants protection, since I have experts data on these. In terms of practical spaciousness, Altis is the winner: source from http://cars.gidblog.com/2008/03/15/new-cor...eration-part-i/ INTERIOR Length (mm) : New Corolla Altis @ 1,810 / CIVIC @ 1,890 (+80) / Previous Altis @ 1,850 (+40) Width (mm) : New Corolla Altis @ 1,420 / CIVIC @ 1,380 (-40) / Previous Altis @ 1,380 (-40) Height (mm) : New Corolla Altis @ 1,200 / CIVIC @ 1,165 (-35) / Previous Altis @ 1,230 (+30) Above is the interior diemenions that we don't usually see in the specs. Civic may have much longer legroom than Alits, but Altis will be less cramp for 3-4 adults seating behind (40mm wider). And with altis legroom already sufficiently spacious, having more shoulder to shoulder space would be more practical than having more legroom. There is more headroom for Altis than civic. In terms of occupants protection for front and side collision, Altis is the winner: source from the european NCAP http://www.euroncap.com models Front side Civic FD 12 15 Corolla 2007 15 16 (the tester car is stated as 2007 which is the same as the altis 2008) Comment on the civic by the NCAP: in the frontal test, the driver's airbag was not sufficiently well inflated to prevent the driver's head from contacting the steering wheel. The passenger compartment remained stable. Structures in the dashboard presented a potential hazard to the driver's femurs. (Altis don't have the above issues). In terms of handling, Toyota claims Altis is the winner. But this one has to be verified by third party expert test drive review. In terms of stopping power, Toyota claims Altis is the winner. But my friend test drive both cars feel that civic stopping power is better. So need to wait for expert test drive to verify. In terms of ride comfort and sound insulation, I don't have expert review comparison for these. But my take is that Altis is either matched or better than civic, since civic FD still sacrificed a bit of passenger comfort for improved driving experience, and toyota has put a lot of effort in insulating the new altis, sacrificing on FC. And my disappointed experience in my good friend's civic FD that the comfort and insulation is only slightly better than my old vios. Even he also sense the difference is slight not significant when he later sit in my vios (btw, my 3yr vios has wider and quiter tires than the old vios stock tires which probably has improved ride quality). In terms of cost, Altis is the winner, obviously. In terms of exterior and interior designs, subjective to personal perference. But I personally find altis exterior more executive looking and more solid feel than the FD, and the interior more elegantly simple, ecofriendly, and got the jen feel while the FD interior is still as complicated as before. Anyone knows if the test drive comparison between this 2 cars are out already?

You want to next gen Honda Civic to be bigger or smaller?
Alfisti168 posted a topic in Japanese Talk
This is an article from paultan.org. Find it quite insightful as it involves Honda's future. Honda rethinks its future product offerings Future automobile products are planned a few years in advance and with the volatile world markets these days the job of a product engineering team as well as a product planner is getting harder and harder. Autonews.com has a very interesting story they managed to squeeze out of Honda's management at the 2009 Tokyo show centering around one of Honda's most vital platforms – the Civic platform. The Civic platform forms the basis of other vehicles like the Stream, the CR-V, and even other Hondas not found in our market such as the Honda Element. The interview revealed that Honda's original intentions was for the next generation Honda Civic to be even larger and more plush than the current Civic, which has already grown to last decade Accord-ish proportions in terms of length and wheelbase. But that plan has been scrapped. Honda engineers have instead been told to make the Civic smaller and lighter. It's not 100% clear what this means – the Civic may not necessarily become smaller than the current generation. It could probably mean smaller and lighter than originally intended to be, which would hopefully put it around the same size as the current generation. Honda wants to try creating an increased perception of interior space but keep the exterior dimensions within control. Another rumour that surfaced a few months ago was that Honda could be splitting the Civic into two lines like Toyota's Corolla and Corolla Altis, a smaller one for Japanese tax regulations and a larger one for markets that like more metal for their money. But such a mid-way change has caused the project to be somewhat delayed. The current Civic has just been facelifted and a new one is supposed to arrive in 2011, a 5 year cycle after its introduction in 2006. But Honda is putting in more manpower to try to meet the target. If that doesn't happen, the Civic could be delayed for a year or so. Honda president Takanobu Ito admitted the team was struggling. This is not unprecedented, the previous generation Corolla Altis was also delayed and we still ended up with an all-new Altis that was pretty much a reskinned previous gen. Other new upcoming Honda products include the implementation of the hybrid IMA system across more models. Right now it is only available in small to medium cars – the Insight, the Civic Hybrid, and pretty soon the CR-Z. A hybrid minivan is coming – this could mean a few things such as an USDM Odyssey Hybrid or even a Stream Hybrid. Not much else was revealed about which minivan model. There used to be an Accord Hybrid but that was scrapped due to discouraging sales. But larger hybrid vehicles like the Accord Hyrbid is going to make a comeback soon. Honda revealed that a dual-motor IMA system is currently under development. The dual motor system will be configured in a way that it is able to function as an e-CVT in full electric mode, much like the series-parallel system in the Toyota Prius. This means Honda will have a two-prong hybrid strategy – a motor assist parallel mode hybrid system for smaller cars and a full hybrid series-parallel system that can be used in larger cars. A series-parallel hybrid is of course more costly and complicated to implement thus more suitable for larger vehicles that are able to carry higher price tags. -

Honda Civic - Winner of Family Car of the Year 08/09
Kelpie posted a topic in General Car Discussion
Honda Civic was voted Winner of the highly competitive family sedan category by Car Buyers' editorial. Below was extracted from Car Buyers' Guide 08/09: The 8th Generation Civic first appeared on our shores in 2006, 3 years down the road, sales for the Civic have literally hit the roof making it the hottest selling make of car in Singapore currently. Peer through the Civic's list of talents and you'll see why the car is so hugely popular. The styling is sleek and futuristic coupled with that two-tiered space age dashboard makes the Civic an instantaneous hit. The Civic is also the benchmark when it comes to interior quality and fittings, well built and lined with materials that belong to car a few classes up, the Civic is still truly a class above the rest. Winning this category three times in a row is a feat in itself and the Civic still gets our vote this time round. Being such an all-rounder, it's hard not to love the Civic. Externally, the Civic's stylish looks reinvents the classic three-box sedan silhouette and retains an air of unqiueness even though Civics can be found at every turn these days. Engine choice alone will probably leave the driver in a daze as there is a Civic literally for nearly every budget. There's the entry level 1.6, a mid-range 1.8 for a little more power and for the top of tehr ange, the 2 litre has the best performance in its class. Those that want to save the earth will also be delighted to know that a hybrid variant is also available with a 1.3L engine backed by an electric motor. All in all, the Civic's highly capable packaging makes it the obvious choice still, be it performance, variety, styling or even comfort, the Civic has gotten it just about right. Regards, -
HCH owners! Need some advice. I just got my pre-owned HCH for a week plus. Can I have some advice on how you drive to achieve FC of 16km/l to 18km/l? I know some can do it with that on Singapore road condition. The paper stated of 21km/l is a little hard. Thank you!
-
Honda claim that it has the Fc of 1.5l engine, which translates to around 13-15km/l (based on City, Latio and Vios ave FC) Just curious to know what is the actual value? Thanks.

Saw this White Honda Civic zipping in and out of lanes when I was at BKE going into KJE towards Jurong. Must be rushing to pang sai so I simply shrugged it off when he was ahead of me, zig-zagging here and there.. Suddenly when I was cruising near CCK exit, saw this civic struck behind another car ( make unknown ) for a few seconds.. The car was going at perhaps 100km/hour. Yes. Road hogging. I got no problems with it as I was in middle lane. Suddenly this white civic chut pattern.. sped in front of the car in lane 1.. Jammed brake to 50km/hour. Then when the car behind knew that he was road hogging, switched to 2nd lane which was my lane and I was already in front watching the show unveil.. The white civic idiot still not happy, switched back to middle lane to jam brake on the car who is not finding trouble. I was already way in front as I kept my speed to 110km/hour.. then when he finished his s--t, he sped and overtook me and disappeared into one of the Jurong Exit.. Anyone knows where he stays exactly? I hope to pay him a visit one of these days to check out his nice car. Please pm me. I tried searching for his car details but seem that this car did not exist. Cant be leh.

I was on ECP this morning, a civic ambulance sound the siren near the Tg Katong Road exit. I was at lane 1, Almost all the cars filter to lane 2 to immediately when the ambulance approches. I saw the driver was alone and cannot confirm if there is anyone behind in the civic ambulance. As far as I understand, when ambulance is rushing to hospital, there will be more than 2 person. The speed was certainly more than 90km/hr, almost tailgating to those vehicles in front. Though all cars are slowing down. It indirectly caused a 4 cars collision. A mercedes cab jammed brakes and a ford hit it when one car filtered out from lane 1 to 2 without checking, trying to give way to this ambulance. The car in front of me, my car and a volvo suv managed to stop in time, however the volvo was hit from the back too. We all understand that all drivers should be alert and cautious when siren is heard. However, the action of the ambulance driver was unbecoming as he was tailgating all other cars in lane one during peak hours, causing many to abruptly change lane. We will not be able to confirm if the civic ambulance was attending to what sort of emergency, so all gave way as a benefit of doubt. There are also civic ambulance drivers sounding the siren just to make others clear the road for them to reach destination faster with no emergency on hand. The siren was only sounded when the stretch became more crowded, it should have sounded way ahead and not just then all the cars are slowing down to heavy traffic ahead. Those who travelled ECP in the morning will know the stretch after the gantry. Today incident really create some doubt of the level of emergency of the civic ambulance handled. Anyway, all motorist should be more careful when siren is heard. Almost joined in to form a chain collision.

My honda civic car alram went off when i unlock the car manually using spare key. There doesn't seem to be anyway of switching off the alarm at all. Any honda civc owners here have encountered the same problem? And any way of solving it in an emergency eg when auto key ran out of battery and you need to open door manually TIA BY THE WAY, we called up KM for assistance and they say it is notossible to switch off alarm any other way except through use of button on auto key.
