Alhamdullilah, finally another dream come true with the Grace of ALLAH Almighty and my family prayers.
I am a proud owner of HONDA CIVIC 2016 TURBO.
I have received the delivery from Honda Classic on Oct 8th and car was booked on June 10th so almost complete 4 months.
Had fun with Facebook Live at the time of delivery which you guys can watch at the link below.

Driving Experience:
I am loving every single bit of Turbo till now. Driven it for 300kms so far. But trust me.... this machine is really fast. Whenever i have to kill time i go straight to Kashmir Highway and this turbo treats me like a charm specially when you stop over a traffic light and as soon as it turns green then zummmmm and right after 7-9 secs when you see from the rear view mirror, you literally can't find anyone behind your back Wow just Wow.
I just can not explain that feeling and i know all the turbo owners knows about the feeling i am referring too.
Seats are so comfortable and the driving position gives you a feel like you are going on a mission
Secondly, since i upgraded from Corolla GLI 2015 MT to Turbo Civic so my basic review would be comparing both the cars.
Build Quality:
Though we witnessed finishing issues but trust me they all have been taken care off and i can't find any glitches in my car may be its from the 2nd phase of production without any flaws.
If we compare the build quality with Corolla then i think i am wasting my time
Interior:
A quite handsome interior which gives you a feeling like you are sitting in a luxury and top class car which i never felt in any PKDM so far.
Dashboard is quite nice with all the goodies so i would say interior is much better as compare to Corolla.
Though i am having a hard time to get used to rear view mirror may be becuz the rear windshield is a bit more inclined and may be small in size as compare to other PKDMs
Exterior:
No words for exterior of this new civic as everyone knows how it looks. Looks huge from front. Although I didn't get time to take some photos but I will share here for your eyes only.
Upgrades:
Have planned some handsome upgrades but again depends on the situation. Top priority would be a LED headlamps which i will be getting in December Inshallah since TURBo civic is incomplete without those LED headlamps.
Second upgrade would be US modulo kit and then will move on with the rest of upgrades.
Suspension:
If i compare with Corolla suspension than i think Corolla is ahead of civic But very slightly as i have driven it on bumpy roads and no issues with ground clearance as well even I had to go to Airport yesterday to pick up some friends and Civic didn't disappointed me while having luggage and 5 people on board.
Sound and Android Headunit
Well i am surprised that how can they out such a crappy Android Headunit in Civic Turbo. Though I got the latest firmware but still i dont like it. Although the sound and speakers are better then Corolla so no need to upgrade. I have also found that I can not play HD videos on YouTube when connected to my Iphone Hotspot or even with my Home Wifi. My corolla aftermarket Chinese Android unit can play HD videos on YT but why cant this unit. May be i am missing some thing to get HD vdos on YT
Overall its a perfect experience and i must say this time HONDA is way ahead of TOYOTA in every aspect.
