Honda Civic Car Reviews

Honda has been a trendsetter and especially in Pakistan people find it very hard to accept change. I don't want to sound bias just because I recently purchased one ;) but because the surprise that this car gave me in so many aspects. Firstly came the price tag which was a little pinchy however not very bad compared to other cars in the category for example the altis which is a 1.6. Secondly came the looks which people compared that to the city, but believe me once you notice the car for the second or third time it looks good and eventually grows over you. Thirdly the drive and performance was ecstatic although when I first heard about the Eco drive I thought that must have reduced the horses running in the engine but the Extra 10Hp from the reborn engine can quite be felt when you floor the pedal even the mighty swift can't pull away till 100 now, but that being said the car has been a pleasure to drive, it doesn't provoke you to speed rather tells you to enjoy a simple drive with your loved ones. I feel the main reason for the civic not really being hot news is a catchy name, so I decided to call it the "Mutant". If your car requirement is that of a luxurious, powerful yet economical as well as a hight tech and safe family sedan, then without a second thought GO FOR IT.

The long awaited civic is finally hear. It has received dull reviews abroad and after scrutinising one recently I can relate to the negative reviews. Shape and interior styling is nice but poor quality really dampens the mood. Dashboard is all plastic. Door handles spray painted in silver. Moreover lining pads on the pilar are uneven. The body seems weak and prone to rust going ahead. Honda are charging so much yet they have left areas which need to be addressed. There is no inner lining beneath the hood and boot cover. The leather option does not include a leather steering, ridiculous. If your height is around 6ft then make sure you sit in the front. Electrically adjustable seats and VSA would have been a good option especially in the top model which nears 2.5mn. Haven't driven one as yet so can't comment on comfort and performance but I assume that performance would be exciting. Also I hope the turning radius on this model is improved as reborn has a horrible turning radius.

I recently has bought new civic 2012 i-VTEC prosmatec. Overall I love the car and its driving experience. So far I have drove 1000km and on 1000Km its giving me 10.5 km/l average with my drive mostly in city area.

Previously I own 2006 and 2010 Corolla GLI. As I compare my new civic with Toyota Corolla below are few differences
1. Suspension of Civic is really hard as compare to the smooth suspension of Corolla. I really miss my corolla when driving on bumpy roads :). But when i compare its Handling its way too good then corolla.

2. civic has excellent acceleration and a very good auto gear shift. I have drive 1.8 and 1.6 altis but civic is faster than both and I have compare reborn 2006-2012, new civic has the same engine and transmission but better drive than its predecessors'. New civic is faster then the old one becoz of weight reduction.

3. New civic has many good features and a very decent and elegant interior, which give you complete feel of control over the car. steering controls, iMID display, height adjustable seats and a beautiful blue glow in dashboard lights.

4. The ECON botton is a good addition, but as far as its effect on fuel economy is concern its not very significant. Yes if you are a rash drive or like to push your car hard then ECON option will save some fuel for you as it limits your car performance and change your driving style. For me as I often drve with soft foot its effect on economy is almost nil and I really to like to drive with ECON on as its limits your gear shift and for downshift you have to push car hard and its response get too slow. new 1.6 dual vvti altis is way better in economy then new civic.

5. There is no engine noise in cabin and you really enjoys a peace in drive, but then when you push car its gives you a roaring sound and a great acceleration. Normally at 80km/hr speed RPM is stable at 1.5 and at 120km/hr its on 2.5. The fuel economy on highways is way better then in city and it can easily give to 15km/hr on highway.

6. front projected lights are a good addition from honda.

7. and off-course immobilizer.

Overall its a very nice car. I love the shape and love its interior. Being a corolla fan for years, now I'm enjoying my Honda Civic.

Yup friends honestly as compare to reborn, this car has a better drive better economy, improved handling with EPS and EBD. front drive side and passenger side airbags in i-vtec variant.

I am a hardcore fan of Honda civic since 2002,I had Toyota corolla SE saloon,I wanted some change so I bought civic(2001-2004) model.I felt  great when I sat in the drivers seat,when I touched the steering wheel,and when I turned it,it was as smooth as silk,since then,I'm in love with civic.From the 2001-2004 model to the eagle eye civic,to reborn.I have all :D.Since then,I realised that I was wasting my money on corolla.In August,my friend told me about the new civic launch which was in October.I didn't waste a single minute and went on Honda's website and I checked it.I booked it in August and got it on 30th of September.To be honest,I didnot not expect this.This car is too good.It is very powerful and is a perfect family sedan with more space and more grip.I think,looking at the dollar currency rate right now,the price for the car is perfect.Interior is not that attractive but it's good,there is more space.The exterior of the car is just to good,I have this car in pearl white and it is brilliant.People are saying that this is a flop in America and Dubai,the reason is that there are better cars there,better than civic.But over here,civic is the best and it will remain the best.It is better than corolla in all ways.So guys,go for civic.

I went through few of the reviews already present. I don't think, it is like reborn or not better than the reborn for higher price. Price is a bit higher but what else you expect in current scenarios.

It has added features for example cruise control that doesn't even come with CL7 or CL9 no doubt Toyota started offering it way back. Then it has climate control which Toyota is still not offering. Plus new improved Honda multimedia display system which is far much better than the cheap china Reborn one.

The ECON mode should make a difference i mean if Honda is claiming it, it should as compare to reborn which will give almost the same mileage/liter even if you drive it at super economy RPM.

Moreover it has other small luxury features like jackknife key, door lamps, aux, Intelligent multi info display, key less trunk opener etc.

All these features are new and they do add value. Car lovers pay money for all these nitties-grittiest cause this make up to luxury that we all want in life.

In the end design may not be appealing for few but as always people will start loving it in no time and reborn will grow old.

I have always been a Die Hard/Hard Core Civic Fan ever since i bought 2001 Model. Civics have always been compact, comfortable/luxurious, true value for Money and at the fore front of introducing innovative features and unique styling.

Amidst all the initial criticism it got at launch, but gradually people fell in love with it. Here in Pakistan we always complained that Price is too high, quality is average and lastly some features are lacking when compared to models launched internationally.

While the outgoing 8th Gen civic was a market leader recently, the new civic wont be any different.Both exterior and interior styling is Top Class, i call it a Mini Accord, fit and finish is immaculate, and the Tech.innovative features are second to none.

Price wise it is O.K 1.9-2.4million PKR, considering the Exchange Rate against US$ is Rs.95/-, which has direct impact as these cars come in CKD Kits. 4years ago when dollar was Rs.59 civic was @1.5million Rupees.

In the End it is a Must buy for anyone.

Honda Atlas Cars (Pakistan) Ltd. has launched 9th generation Civic. No doubt Honda has again out class the Toyota. The new Civic is much better than Altis in shape, comfort, luxury, features, safety and in all categories other than fuel economy (but who cares for the fuel when you are driving a car more than 2million rupee). The only draw back for civic is its price, 2.32 Mill is a huge amount for top grade. It must not have been more than 2.25 mill.
The front resemblance with accord and city gives it a "WEHSHI" look. the interior is extremely suspicious. the i-MID feature also rocks..

7th and 8th generation civic (2006 eagle eye and reborn shape) are much better then this 9th generation (model 2013). It is not at all appealing from both front and back. Not much difference in comfort level.Performance is good. fuel economy is almost same as old model.Petrol prices are gradually rising don't know about cng and its mileage. Nothing extra ordinary features and very much over priced car. With same price one can find much better vehicles, specially you will know the difference if you have drived some good imported vehicles. Atlas motors and Indus motors very much worried about imported vehicles already still they couldn't compete even imported cars are 4 years older.
