Comparassion between 7th Gen Vti Oriel Prosmatec and 8th Gen Oriel Prosmatec
Looks
Both cars are excellent looking. The 7th generations rear gives a bit Audish look where as the 8th generation front gives a view of some hungry SHARK!
Engine
Both cars have nice engines but 1.6 VTEC is not that fuel efficient if we compare it with 1.8 ivtec. Our 1.6 used to gives us 10 on highway where as 1.8 is giving us 14/15:-#
Acceleration of both cars was fantastic, but 1.8 is way more faster then 1.6.
But sadly 8th generation Civic has alot of problems with engine quality, its bearings and mountings are kind of substandard and they wear of earlier. Where as 7th generation is relatively trouble free car when it comes to engine.
Brakes,
Both the cars have excellent brakes. No complains
Interior,
Here the 8th generation takes the lead due to its nicely styled cockpit with sporty steering and YUMMMY RPM meter. Where as 7th Generation gives a look of a more Luxury vehical rather then sporty due to its 4 spoke steering that too with beige interior.
Capacity,
8th generation is more spacious and roomy. Its trunk is very large aswell. But 7th generation donnot dissappoints either but the leg room of back passengers is a big short.
Toys
8th generation wins this segment hands down, thanks to 5 maplights, Option of AUX (Although it donnot comes Stock but it looks in indash player) and above all the 6 Indash Mp3 player where as in 7th generation, it has only 10 din audio player that too under the seat. Further more the quality of soundsystem in 8G civic is also more nice , thanks to 4 Speakers and 2 tweeters.
Suspension;
Both have similar suspension but 8G civic having low ground clearence has a disadvantage which makes it suspension more prone to damages caused by speed breakers and khaddas. Where as on the highway, 8G civic just hugs the road and then no worries.
