Who the heck said civic is a BIG FLOP or it always had worst fuel mileges? Why dont you compare the sale of COROLLA 1.8 with Civic 1.8? Till today the Civic is taking the lead! As for mileges, avoid commenting without OWNING anything!
15km/l from a 1.8 is exceptional! Civic has always introduced and pushed people towards advanced gadgets and technologies! Sun-roof, Airbags, electrically reactable door mirrors, ABS, 4 wheel disc brakes and above all AUTOMATIC transmission which was forced by honda into our local market otherwise it was always regarded as a failed technology and still some people think that way.
