New Civic Slow Start???

[Derrick28]

Guys was wondering what is your opinion regarding the new civic power ???
I own an auto and find that it's very slow start from the beginning !
Am i asking to much for a small car...? but then i was driving a Toyota Corolla (recent model) and it's much better response!

toyota corrollas piss all over the euro style civics.....
and cause its auto no higher revving start/clutch drop mang.
manualls always win sept wen its like a 6ltr v8... although B18CR does go well against a 6LTR torana

maybe something wrong wif ur car....i drive both cars the 08 civic and 09 rolla....i prefer the fd still....i feel my fd has more grunt maybe coz its manual and my rolla is auto

ive got both a 06 civic auto and an 09 rolla auto at home. the rolla does seem more quicker off the line, but it doesnt feel like it has much go afterwards compared to the civic.

Ive got a torana and unless there is a chevy LS1 conversion in one they only go up to 5.0 litres lolz

ive got 09 auto civic, it gives good response for me,
i can feel the power coming out when it goes to abt 3000+

but....
the petrol goes faster, since i am so heavy footed

civics got DBW... theres a thread here somewhere on it.. search it

if u are feeling the lag.. get a 'booster' to overcome it..

theres mixed reviews on the boosters.. so im gonna head up the buddyclub sometime soon and try out their e-throttle booster.. they're offering a "try before u buy".. takes 10minutes to install and easily reversible.

i hav the sprint booster installed, great little thing that makes the throttle much more responsive...

is the sprint booster adjustable?

compared to the buddyclub e-throttle booster which can be adjusted depending on your driving style and conditions.

[black8thgen]

Waste of money IMO, just drive how it is and if you need to start quicker then learn how to launch... (at the drags preferably)

Just my 2c
