Honda to use its Civic Tourer in BTCC

[slickshifters]

Honda Yuasa Racing’s decides to run the Civic Tourer in the 2014 British Touring Car Championship.

Cool to see a wagon back in racing. Reminds me of the volvo 850 also in BTCC.

Wagon

[Baal]

I also like wagons. Wonder why AD or even PI don't seem to bring these in.

Aiya good also, even with low coe I also cannot afford <----sour grapes...

[Knoobie]

hmm.. actually does wagon usually have bigger boot space? the length of the car usually see like same same..

I would think so. Can view it as a saloon with a boot with extended height?

but usually there is a flap that covers the boot. wouldn't that restrict you from storing to above the height?

 

only good thing I see is confirm huge head room for rear passengers..

The cover should be retractable or removable?

Have, you get all the additional vertical height in the back, plus when you drop the seats you get a nice large flat space which can fit ALOT of stuff or bulky stuff that you wouldn't be able to fit in a saloon.

 

With my rear seats dropped I can fit an XL-sized road bicycle with space to spare and don't need to remove the front wheels or anything. Plus if I want I can lie down flat to sleep in the back. People have been continually amazed by the amount of junk I can move in one trip (moved house twice this year).

Cover can be removed. You basically get a nice big rectangular storage area.

With all seats including front passenger seat folded flat, I manage to transport really long objects together with tall boxes of stuff when I moved house/office

Just make sure no one kiss you and your insurance covers.

the long item (exhaust pipe) was wedged front and back, so unless the kiss pushes the tailgate into the boot deeply, normal light kisses should be ok

I see. now I know why wagon so good liao. never thought the "flap" could be retracted!

Needs a Type R wagon.

The biggest I ever transported was a super single bed but stipped down for ease of transport. Even when stripped down, the length is a challenge. Oh Mahjong table also. lol

I ever used a wagon to transport a full length exhaust system (by folding flat the rear seats as well as the front passenger seat) [thumbsup] ie using the full length of space available from the tailgate to the dashboard.

Colt plus is super practical yet is not too boxy looking.

 

The only handicap it, and wagons, have is we can't walk into the cargo space with the cargo like with a van.
