Honda Civic VTi 1.8 i-VTEC Prosmatec Rating

This car (Reborn) is a must buy if you have the required cash. It is an excellent choice and I don't regret it in any way :)

Exterior: Really stylish. Opposed windscreen wipers add a premium look. Looks fantastic in Silver and White.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Generous amount of features. Air Conditioning fan speed control is excellent as you have a wide range of fan speeds rather than the traditional 4 speeds. Very spacious cabin with a nice set of seatings. Headrest is a bit annoying but can be removed. I found... more

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Generous amount of features. Air Conditioning fan speed control is excellent as you have a wide range of fan speeds rather than the traditional 4 speeds. Very spacious cabin with a nice set of seatings. Headrest is a bit annoying but can be removed. I found the boot/trunk space a bit limited.

Fuel Economy: Fuel economy increases day-by-day. Highway economy is excellent from the start! I would recommend everyone to fuel up with 50% Hi-Octane and 50% Super (Regular) fuel, it increases the engine life and has various other positive factors.

Ride Quality & Handling: The drive is unmatched. Handling depends on tyre quality. Speaking of which, I would recommend everyone to replace their tyres immediately after the car purchase as the stock tyres are extremely hard which give a very bumpy ride. Stick to stock tyre size or if you want a good look extend to a max of 205/50 R16. Yokohama Advan DB would be recommended.

Final Words: A great family sedan for everyday driving and for long trips. Go for it! ;) less

The long awaited civic is finally hear. It has received dull reviews abroad and after scrutinising one recently I can relate to the negative reviews. Shape and interior styling is nice but poor quality really dampens the mood. Dashboard is all plastic. Door handles spray painted in silver. Moreover lining pads on the pilar are uneven. The body seems weak and prone to rust going ahead. Honda are charging so much yet they have left areas which need to be addressed. There is no inner lining beneath the hood and boot cover. The leather option do... more

The long awaited civic is finally hear. It has received dull reviews abroad and after scrutinising one recently I can relate to the negative reviews.

The body seems weak and prone to rust going ahead. Honda are charging so much yet they have left areas which need to be addressed. There is no inner lining beneath the hood and boot cover. The leather option does not include a leather steering, ridiculous. If your height is around 6ft then make sure you sit in the front. Electrically adjustable seats and VSA would have been a good option especially in the top model which nears 2.5mn. Haven't driven one as yet so can't comment on comfort and performance but I assume that performance would be exciting. Also I hope the turning radius on this model is improved as reborn has a horrible turning radius. less

I recently has bought new civic 2012 i-VTEC prosmatec. Overall I love the car and its driving experience. So far I have drove 1000km and on 1000Km its giving me 10.5 km/l average with my drive mostly in city area.

Previously I own 2006 and 2010 Corolla GLI. As I compare my new civic with Toyota Corolla below are few differences

1. Suspension of Civic is really hard as compare to the smooth suspension of Corolla. I really miss my corolla when driving on bumpy roads :). But when i compare its Handling its way too good then corolla.

2. civic has excellent acceleration and a very good auto gear shift. I have drive 1.8 and 1.6 altis but civic is faster than both and I have compare reborn 2006-2012, new civic has the same engine and transmission but better drive than its predecessors'. New civic is faster then the old one becoz of weight reduction.

3. New civic has many good features and a very decent and elegant interior, which give you complete feel of control over the car. steering controls, iMID display, height adjustable seats and a beautiful blue glow in dashboard lights.

4. The ECON botton is a good addition, but as far as its effect on fuel economy is concern its not very significant. Yes if you are a rash drive or like to push your car hard then ECON option will save some fuel for you as it limits your car performance and change your driving style. For me as I often drve with soft foot its effect on economy is almost nil and I really to like to drive with ECON on as its limits your gear shift and for downshift you have to push car hard and its response get too slow. new 1.6 dual vvti altis is way better in economy then new civic.

5. There is no engine noise in cabin and you really enjoys a peace in drive, but then when you push car its gives you a roaring sound and a great acceleration. Normally at 80km/hr speed RPM is stable at 1.5 and at 120km/hr its on 2.5. The fuel economy on highways is way better then in city and it can easily give to 15km/hr on highway.

6. front projected lights are a good addition from honda.

7. and off-course immobilizer.


Overall its a very nice car. I love the shape and love its interior. Being a corolla fan for years, now I'm enjoying my Honda Civic.

Yup friends honestly as compare to reborn, this car has a better drive better economy, improved handling with EPS and EBD. front drive side and passenger side airbags in i-vtec variant. less

I went through few of the reviews already present. I don't think, it is like reborn or not better than the reborn for higher price. Price is a bit higher but what else you expect in current scenarios.

It has added features for example cruise control that doesn't even come with CL7 or CL9 no doubt Toyota started offering it way back. Then it has climate control which Toyota is still not offering. Plus new improved Honda multimedia display system which is far much better than the cheap china Reborn one.

The ECON mode should make a difference i mean if Honda is claiming it, it should as compare to reborn which will give almost the same mileage/liter even if you drive it at super economy RPM.

Moreover it has other small luxury features like jackknife key, door lamps, aux, Intelligent multi info display, key less trunk opener etc.

All these features are new and they do add value. Car lovers pay money for all these nitties-grittiest cause this make up to luxury that we all want in life.

In the end design may not be appealing for few but as always people will start loving it in no time and reborn will grow old.

7th and 8th generation civic (2006 eagle eye and reborn shape) are much better then this 9th generation (model 2013). It is not at all appealing from both front and back. Not much difference in comfort level.Performance is good. fuel economy is almost same as old model.Petrol prices are gradually rising don't know about cng and its mileage. Nothing extra ordinary features and very much over priced car. With same price one can find much better vehicles, specially you will know the difference if you have drived some good imported vehicles. Atl... more

Atlas motors and Indus motors very much worried about imported vehicles already still they couldn't compete even imported cars are 4 years older. less
