Honda Car Reviews

This car (Reborn) is a must buy if you have the required cash. It is an excellent choice and I don't regret it in any way :)

Exterior: Really stylish. Opposed windscreen wipers add a premium look. Looks fantastic in Silver and White.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Generous amount of features. Air Conditioning fan speed control is excellent as you have a wide range of fan speeds rather than the traditional 4 speeds. Very spacious cabin with a nice set of seatings. Headrest is a bit annoying but can be removed. I found the boot/trunk space a bit limited.

Fuel Economy: Fuel economy increases day-by-day. Highway economy is excellent from the start! I would recommend everyone to fuel up with 50% Hi-Octane and 50% Super (Regular) fuel, it increases the engine life and has various other positive factors.

Ride Quality & Handling: The drive is unmatched. Handling depends on tyre quality. Speaking of which, I would recommend everyone to replace their tyres immediately after the car purchase as the stock tyres are extremely hard which give a very bumpy ride. Stick to stock tyre size or if you want a good look extend to a max of 205/50 R16. Yokohama Advan DB would be recommended.

Final Words: A great family sedan for everyday driving and for long trips. Go for it! ;)

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.

Well Corolla and City owners are just throwing bricks on each other. Both Corolla and Honda are good cars so please give honest reviews.

I own both GLi 2012 and Honda City Prosmatic (October 2012 model). So heres my experience about HONDA CITY.

Pros
1 - Very stylish looks.
2 - Fuel economy is excellent. My Prosmatic gives me 18 on Highways without AC provided I keep speed at 100 Km/Hr. Within city in lot of traffic its giving me 13-14 without AC. On the other hand Corolla Gli MANUAL due to its weight and bulk hardly gives me 12 within city and 14-15 on highways.
3 - Titanic interior now being offered is really stylish as compared to Corolla.
4 - Price is less as compared to Corolla. My prosmatic with company fitted Navigation/Multimedia cost me Rs 1,696,000 whereas Corolla Gli manual without any Multimedia/Navigation currently cost the same.
5 - Honda City is really quite while driving there is no engine sound at all. Its also really streamlined for effecient Airflow reducing air drag and noise. Corolla's engine on the other hand is not so quite.

Cons
1 - Seats are Hard and are not at all comfortable as compared to Corolla.
2 - Suspension is hard and seems much delicate than Corolla. Even in the first 1000 Kms I have realized that Honda City is not made for rough Roads. You have to take great care not to take it to bumpy roads. Corolla however, is made tough for any type of roads.
3 - Although more fuel effecient, engine seems to have less power as compared to Corolla 1.3.
4 - I have experienced minute knocking so I have to mix High octone as a remedy which solves the problem. Corolla's engine happily accepts any type of petrol without any knocking etc.

Conclusion:
If you travel alot on rough bumpy roads then Honda City is not the car for you. However, provided you stay on known/smooth/good routes than this car is probably the best possible option for you.

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.

When you spend 1.4 million of your hard earned money you look for comfort, style and fuel economy to some extent as well. For me the experience so far is satisfying if not so great. The over all looks are good, although interior is made up of cheap plastic and even after using it for 14000KM in last 1.5 year it has never gave me major rattling noises. Fuel economy is good but the drawbacks are poor acceleration and really bad suspension. Suspension issue can be resolved by putting a better quality tyers with a bit more profile but that will not totally solve the problem and after buying this car you have live with the fact that it is just like this
