Premio 1.5 or civic 1.8 ,Advice!

[saadleo]

i need an advice that which car is better as a family car, premio 1.5 or civic 1.8?.. bugdet is around 15.

[Storm]

as i always say, it depends on your requirements.

i'd go for the one with the better safety features,... so obviously NOT the local civic.

[accord7362]

for me both cars are over priced in pakistan

I consider steermatic best in 1.5 category

[chinyoti]

if u manage to get a oriel, its okay, as its got as gud safety as a premio.

airbags, abs, door beams. Honda also has Gcon, i dunoe if premio does

secondly i wud go for the civic being a latest model,

Pakistani assembled,

spares not a issue.

full company, spares back up.
the car is the market car can be cashed wen ever you want.

if u were competing the older Gen Civic wid a premio then i mute have gone for a Premio being less in number and a more sober shape.

[NaXuN]

get an oriel but if u are comparing premio with base model of civic then get a premio cuz it has better features....otherwise oriel is best...

[saadleo]

well v r already selling civic 05-6 gen, so its obviously not about that model

well ... to say the truth tell me exactly which car gives a more smooth ride?

[saadleo]

oriel... manual or prosmatec? (waisay i lyk manual)

[saadleo]

@chinyoti

bhai yeh Gcon se kia matlab ha?

[chinyoti]

GCON se murad ye hai k accident hone per cabin safe rehta hai.

secondly if ure already driving a Honda u can never enjoy driving a Toyota. Hondas ride is more comfortable. (atleast Pakistani Honda drivers wen shift to Toyota they arnt comfortable at all)

[NaXuN]

^^ agreeed...honda driver dont like toyota drive...

[saadleo]

ummm.....i think u ppl hav hit the spot.... honda se toyota par shift ni hoa jata....par yaro, i thought japanese vehicles are mre comfortable...

[saadleo]

@chinyoti

thx bro for info regarding Gcon

[CoOkiie]

Premio would be a better option i think so !

[shahbaz_79]

Dear GCON means that in case of frontal collision the passengers will be completely safe as well as the remain of the vehicle as you only have to repair the frontal area of the car. the reason that civic'c dashboard is so long is only because of that the engine moves back in to the cabin in case of frontal collision thus saving engine as well as rest of the body.

While in case of premio if your car hits in front , the chances are that overall structure of the body becomes out of shape or in other words gari ki chaal bigar jaiye gi.

As for the ride quality, the new pakistani civic has far more comfy ride than premio as premio was manufactured for japanese home markets where potholes in roads does not exisit. While designing the pakistani civic they have softened the suspension to accomodate the local road conditions.

you will be confused that why japanese cars have stiffer suspension than ours. Well the reason is that no body in whole world like softer suspenion anymore as this will cause high speed manuverability tougher. A stiff suspension improves sport handling. While in our country the only problem we face with our roads is bad conditions therefore softer suspension is crucial to prevent other damages to car.
