For God sake dont compare Premio with Honda Civic... I bought Toyota Premio one week before Eid (Top of the line 1.8 2008 model).., Sold the car one week after Eid. Didnt like the crap... Trust me the Interior Space is even worse than the local corollas... I dont know why people talk of a car without keeping it... I have kept both Civic Reborn and Premio.. I wud grade Civic over Premio any day.... We are just mad about Japanese cars unknowingly they are also busy producing disposable cars... It is unlike the old days when japanese produced life long vehicles... Nowadays japanese never keeps a car for more than 5 years now.. they upgrade and dispose off the waste to poor countries like Pakistan where we grade there second hand items over brandnew locally assembled.. I agree we lack options in our brandnew vehicles... but trust me.. Brandnew is always a brandnew... Will you prefer buying a Landa Bazaar (second hand market) Coat or Brandnew Coat from a designer shop? Think over...

I once again beg all my fellow members... First drive a car before commenting on it... Premio is a useless car in my perception... Sold it on a loss as well.. talkless of the resale value....

Yes ur absolutely right Brandnew is brandnew ... I Used to think the same .. purchased 9 brandnew cars in last 12 years and just 2 JDM imported cars , a used JDM ( of 2008 plus model) is still better than our locally assembled brandnew cars ... And yes i have never purchased this new premio but have driven it , and I dont know y u dnt like it , but its simply better than our local ALtis n Civic ...and m talkin abt 1500cc variant , def 1800cc will be even better ...

anyways I dont want to spoil this thread , so LETS JUST DISCUSS NEW CIVIC ..peace

Lolx .... Correction = 9th Gen civic

InNoCeNt_DeViL (InNoCeNt_DeViL) 2012-09-17 09:16:25 +0500 #443

ummm , Altis top of the line for 21lacs control price , considering tht i think price of new Oriel prosmatec is not tht high , its 1800cc brandnew plus a head turner ... But yes we have much better options in 21 lacs and 24 lacs than these Altis n CIvics

SO when is the official Launch then? Nothing in the dealerships (most of them) ,no website update yet ????

Yet Honda claims "Its Closer than you think " ,There should be "*" at the end of this statement and the small print should read * Except for Pakwheels members.... :S

Well what are they giving us new???/its ugly looking car with 6 year old engine ...........according to price given after registration and insurance this car is going to cost about 26 lacs ....with not even half the accessories which we get in imported cars starting at price of 11 lacs( even local altis offers all these features )........... and i m sure within two years we are going to have new engine in this car too ......i think altis is better option if the price remains same ......i was just watching the civic (Reborn) its way better than this car ........atlas should have introduced 1.6 litre version .. this is insane price .....

wow the front leather seat is too good , like mark x Seat , it will be so comfortable , very nice

engineermali (engineermali) 2012-09-17 11:17:05 +0500 #451

Uglyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ... Previous one was million times better than this one

really?? look closely. seams are not straight see the longitudinal seem from top to bottom. its getting creased already and would soon lose shape. seems ahmad_yar bro's company isnt doing a preety good job.same is the case with 8th gen FF leather seats. would be better to get a 10 times better leather uphosltery done in the same price from the market. nowadays its a relatively easy thing to do as so many poshish maker shops have opened up. they will remove the original fabric to strip naked the seats till the foam and then redo them . so dont spend the extra 55k on leather seats.the workmanship is pathetic as far as the leather in the civic is concerned. honda used to give excellent leather interiors back in the days with the UG packages. nowadays its simply skinning one off and inc their profit margins

InNoCeNt_DeViL (InNoCeNt_DeViL) 2012-09-17 11:21:49 +0500 #453

yes 6 yr old engine , but still one of the best brandnew engine in our local car market ...
yes abt 26 , its way too much ur ryt , but then 23 for Altis 1.6, insane too

hm may b , just like Indus they initially gave same old Altis 2005 engine in 2008 model , after 2.5yrs a new 1.6 ltr engine

Yes Reborn is a much better car ..

half the accesories ?? I dont think so , power retractable mirrors as standard , cruise control , audio controls , I-MID disp , Nav , Eco mode , I think it has all the options we get in 20-28 lacs imported cars ?? correct me if i am wrong :s

Very true that is the first thing I observed after looking at the pictures ,Couple of years back year i spent about 5k for Leatherite seats in my city and craftsmanship was way better than what Atlas is offering here.

I think our friend Ahmed yar's company is only providing Leather Unstitched to Honda ..if I am not wrong .

nonetheless no matter how ugly it may look to many of us but the goodies atlas has given in this car are worth the praise. climate control,cruise control and audio controls, imid display and the larger DVD screen seems like a 9 '' display and dual airbags standard iin all variants etc as good as it can get till now in Pakistan. my DIY Cruisematec thread might have haveforce the Atlas buggers to give CC this time lolzz(kidding). as with the concl of mos of the reviews over the web on this civic gen, IT MIGHT BE A DISAPPOINMENT FOR ALL WHO EXPCTED A MUCH BETTER LOOKING CAR BUT SURELY THIS CAR HANDLES AND DRIVES MUCH BETTER IN ALL REGARDS THAN THE OUTGOING MODEL. it drives better, handles better,better fuel econo, better drive, gadgetry are much better than the 8th gen but lacks the attractiveness of the previous gen. TBH if i had the spare money i would buy it coz im more concerned with the interior of a car than the exterior as thats what for you and the exterior for others to loo at. in this regard this model is far superior than the 8th gen! if its priced 200k more than the 8th gen then its a just price IMO for all the goodies !!! on the poor mans alternate less the climate control i think i have most of the main goodies in my ride.lets see another DIY for climate control install in the 8th gen???? who knows just maybe....

yes i think you are right i think Ahmad bhai's company only provide leather.my bad!! nevertheless whether it provides the leather only or does the upholstery aswell. Ahmed bhai is one heck of a lovely person to know and interact here on PWs! salutes sir!

Does this Civic have TPMS sensors integrated into the car's system?

jaggi (jaggi) 2012-09-17 13:26:50 +0500 #458

I will go for MarkX 250g.......never gonna spend 2.6million for a civic

This car has several features which make it much better then Altis including (in my view):-

Two Air Bags vs only one in Altis
Two force limiters/pretensioners (passenger and driver side) vs only one in Altis
1.8 Engine (Better on fuel economy than last generation Civic) vs 1.6 Engine
Completely new Shape/chassis VS exact same shape as 1.3 XLi/GLi [Biggest edge in my view its not an upgraded version of City but a separate car altogether unlike Toyota Corolla which are technically variants of the same design -- extreme cost saving by Toyota Indus]
Automatic Climate Control vs Manual Air conditioning
Early availability in Pakistan (for a change Pakistan is getting this car on time, it has not yet been launched even in India)
Much better information Display
Eco button
Good safety crash test rating (not sure if this applies to the PK variant though)
Euro 4/5 (yet to be confimred) compliant vs Euro3 for Altis (and xli/gli were not even euro 2 compliant under a few months ago)

And the engine is not really obsolete, the same engine is being provided the world over right now and its an upgraded version of the one used in the last Civic model.
