ASSALAM O ALIKUM !!
well m posting a topic after a long long time , hope u ppl will comment n share ur views !!!
Well i dont wanna make this topic another corolla vs civic war , but i just wanna tell u ppl wat i think abt these cars , or any petrol 1300cc to 1600cc vs a diesel car !
all of u noe abt the quality , road grip , comfort , looks etc etc of both , and yeah civic is better in all aspects except resale , durability , reliabilty and good soft suspension !!
last week i was coming back home from university<span class="highlight">on the way back i was driving my civic oriel 2005 , on a steep road and a guy driving his 2.od overtook me at a breakneck speed. he also started giving race after signal and i also tried my level best but man dont have words to explain !!</span>
always my father say tht any petrol car can esily beat this 2.0d but only in 1st and 2nd gear , civic or se saloon may be in 3rd gear also but in 4th and 5th if u noe how 2 shift properly , u will beat these petrol cars !! well in my heart i always laughed on tht !
i am driving 2.OD these days to check tht , on a steep surface 2.OD easily beats any xli, se saloon or 1.6 civic , thts my observation !!
Today i was coming back from sea view , a guy was on his civic and fortunately i got an oppurtunity to test wat i was planning for !
his civic was Vti oriel 05.. i was at a speed of 50km/hr , he overtook and gave pick , i was on 3rd gear , i took my car to 90km/hr then shifted to 4th gear , man he was ahead hardly 10 feet , but as soon as i shifted to 4th gear my car gave it a huge gap easily 6 to 8 cars gap !!!
then i applied brakes on reaching the signal , then after the signal obviously he gave pick and beat me badly but due to traffic he slowed down , i came near , fortunatley i was on 4th at a speed of 80km/hr , i again pressed the accelerator to max and again beat tht civic badly !!!!
dont noe many ppl here at pak wheels say tht its engine is weak n sluggish , but dont noe how can u say tht !!!!!
this is not the plus point of corolla or toyota , the beauty liesin the quality of the fuel , its not even a proper diesel car , i mean using a 20yr old technology these days sucks , but i can easily say tht any other decent diesel car will never ever allow petrol cars to even come closer to it !!!!!!
well 2.OD will also not allow any other petrol 1.6cc car to come nerarer to it on long route , b/c i have noticed tht my civic vti oriel 05 goes to 120 like a bullet if compared to 2.OD , but i have seen tht if ur on 2.OD in 4th gear or even 3rd at a speed of 60km - 80k/hr and thengive full race shift properly i.e max 4th gear at 100 then 5th max at 130 140 km/hr then it will eat other petrol cars like civic or corolla within twinkle of an eye !!!!!!!!!!!!
civic is a beauty to drive , and it has very impressive pick , but if u compare it wid a 2.OD afta a speed of 100 the OD is a winner !!! may be on long route civic or se saloon will beat it but i dont think so , Diesel aik dafa jab torque marta hai th na poochein aap !!! aur haan oonchi surfaces par bhi charhai wali roads par OD is a winner for sure !!!!!
pls friends dont start fighting on this topic , discuss with peace , and dont make fun of others a very common habit of most of us !!!
ALLAH HAFIZ
