Honda Civic VTi Prosmatec 1.8 i-VTEC
Posted by Umer on Oct 19, 2012
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.
