Honda Cancels Turbo Civic X bookings

Its absolute blackmailing of Honda Atlas, they imported defected engines. Because in Pakistan its only a assembling plant not manufacturing. Same Traction Control Unit and same Engine is Ok in Japan but here it is noising tick tick...
I have converted my 1.5 booking into 1.8 and sold to honda in 200k ON payment.
In couple of days buying Audi A3 1.4 with all options.

What is the bhp of the 1.4L a3 ?

leojunaid (leojunaid) 2017-05-05 22:54:42 +0500 #44

Audi a3 1.4 produce 150 bhp
But its faster than honda 173 bhp
becoz it is stronic dual clutch transmission and TFSI engine compared to old technology of CVT transmission and Earth Dream Technology Engine which produce Tick Tick too 🤣
Simple example is that 12 mp cam of samsung result is too better than 14mp of QMobile

My friend The same 1.4 ltr engine comes in 2017 model A4 and its slower then civic 1.5T.
But since A3 is lighter in weight then A4 so its posible that both civic and A3 might go neck to neck in a drag.

I kept and drove civic turbo for good 13000 kms , sold it because of the knocking or ticking sound., now I have Audi 2017 A 4 1.4 , trust me that in no way this car is slower than turbo civic, and even if it is in drag sort of race , in all areas like the driving pleasure, stability , torque at low rpm , braking and above all quality is way better and incomparable with local civic. Go for audi , no need to compare it with civic. I had kept earlier 2014 A 4 for a year and maintenance is not very expensive , it's a very reliable car. Just regular oil change at 7500 kms costs around 10,000/- rs approx.

Cmon yaar we all know audi is beter then civic in everyway no comparison and A4 is almost twice the price of civic 1.5 T.
But civic does beat A4 in a drag that is a fact i know a friend who have already tested it out.

I am amazed at people comparing Audi with civic. These cars are for separate target markets. If I have money, then would go for Audi. But that doesn't mean civic is bad as it is very good enough within the price bracket.

While I was at dealership for second service of my 1.5 T, saw a white Turbo getting ready for delivery and date of release from factory was 26-4-17 as marked on the windscreen. May be they have started deliveries now. Pics attached.

jklodhi (jklodhi) 2017-05-06 13:18:43 +0500 #52

Very interesting. It seems that deliveries are being controlled by Atlas and dealership

Nope the A3 1.4 tfsi does 0-60 in 9.8 seconds..It is 125 bhp...much slower than a turbo...In order to get a german car which can beat the civic we will need atleast 180 bhp engine ...and an audi with that power costs atleast 2.5 times of the civic...

One should only consider a 1.2 or 1.4 TFSI A3 if comfort is your primary concern..If you want the power....alteast 1.8 tfsi is needed to beat the civic turbo....which is gonna be really expensive..

waleedshahid001 (waleedshahid001) 2017-05-06 15:30:07 +0500 #57

As for the audi a4 ....again the 1.4 tfsi a4 produces 150 bhp and 0-60 in 8.5 seconds...so it is close to a turbo....but still not beating it..
If you want a powerful engine in an a4 that will hike the price of the car to about 7-8 million( maybe even more)...

arslansohail84 (arslansohail84) 2017-05-06 16:02:06 +0500 #58

In japan A3 comes with 125 hp and 150hp engine both. And the 150 hp one has enough power to compete with civic 1.5T.

Honda is still delivering 1.5 turbo one of my friend got it on ON payment of 500K from Honda breeze Multan, Honda breeze Multan converting 1.5 customers to 1.8 and selling civic 1.5 on ON payment. Pure blackmailing for a defected car. Honda breeze Multan will lose its goodwill and customers.
I have moved to Audi A3 1.4. TFSI with COD technology. Stronic shifting. too much satisfieddddd. No knocking no tick tick even on regular fuel. Solid built quality, solid drive. No comparison with defected Honda.
I dont know why people are still buying Honda on ON payment with the fact that its a defected car.

These Civic Turbos are probably for customers that booked in 1st-2nd week of January '17 (the last batch of turbo orders that are being fulfilled by Atlas that were delayed due to shortage of turbo kits.) I''m guessing the customer declined to take delivery and in turn sold back to Honda Breeze on 300k ON and now dealership is selling at 500K ON making a cool 200K for the bugger dealers

Sarkaar 2017-05-10 13:24:48 +0500 #61

I think they are not aware of this issue in Turbo and just know that due to demand delivery is being delayed.. 500k is too much
