Honda Civic 2010?

[CivicVTI]

I bought a Civic VTi Auto yesterday and the salesman promised me a 2010 model, but Im not sure if it really will be a 2010 model. Are the 2010 model even out yet? Will be picking up the car at the end of the month or early next month. Should I really be expecting a 2010 model?

[tsg88]

If its anything like our 4x4, which was built in December 1999 but bought and registered in early 2000 then I doubt it would be a 2010 car. We are only 5 days in!

[danau]

yer. i dunno about the other states but Perth will receive the 2010 civic models in april? thats what i've been told.
picking my 09 vtil up on wednesday =)
..also i think the 09/10 models are pretty much the same except the production year :S

[aaronng]

It will most probably be made in 2009 but complied in 2010.

[ej20i]

aarong is right,
i bought my car in 2008 and got the 2009 complied which will be better for our re sell value as we can say its an 09

[UNLS1]

u will get a 2010 civic, we now have the MY10 civics,

the Vti's now get curtian airbags standard and there are 2 new colours and rallye red is deleted.

u will get a 01/2010 complied car so yes its a 2010 model.
We even had some of the 2010 models in late december.

[fitme]

the Vti's now get curtian airbags standard

does this means additional price on vti's?

hi civit VTI! how much was it? i just bought a 2010 vti last week for 26grand drive away (i was not supposed to buy instantly as i'm still haggling for the best deal that i could get,but i dont know why i sealed the deal).. still waiting for the delivery hopefully next week.. still a good deal i reckon as VSA and curtain airbags are standard for VTI.. still, i could have haggled for more.. *sigh*

[Kangaaz]

Civic VTi now has better safety features than when Sport first came out. I bought mine VTi in 2008 and is missing out on so much goodies!

[jjeetthh]

yeah that's my consolation.. but still,i reckon i could have bargained a little bit more.. like the foglights should stay.. and i was promised a full tank and mettalic paint, but when i signed the list of freebies, i didn't see it there.. i never bothered to ask.. tsk tsk tsk

[fitme]

so the only difference now on VTi and VTiL are side airbags,rims,and steering audio control only?, VtiL auto is around 30k driveaway....4k higher from vti

[Kangaaz]

Nah, VTi has side airbags since last year, it just got added curtain airbags this year. So all the civics now across the range have the same safety features.

Yeah alloys and audio control still missin from Vti

Vti-L does still have a few more things over VTi, such as audio control on steering, climate control, alarm, temp display in dash etc

[fitme]

^ ahh ok...so the 4k diff from the VTiL is not worth anymore.....:(

[jjeetthh]

^^
nah.. they both have the same number of airbags.. rims are different.. yeah audio control on the steering wheel, climate control (which they same dont make that much difference compared with ordinary ac)

for comparison:

[fitme]

ahh and the 6CD changer as well.

[Kangaaz]

I never use the CD player, thank god they put in the aux port in 07, ipod = hundreds of CDs!

[jjeetthh]

so you reckon i got a really good deal?? although i know i could have bargained a lil bit more.. a 1000-1500 savings or prolly a thousand dollars savings plus fog lights.. lol.. cheer me up.. i dont want to stress myself..

[jjeetthh]

jjeetthh likes this! lol

[fitme]

^^ yes youve got a good deal....i just bougth mine last october VTiL for 30k driveaway...im only after with the full curtain airbag..i dont mind having a steelies cause im gonna change it anyway..if the vti that time has full airbags...im not goin to vtil...

[Kangaaz]

I got mine back in 08 for 23k drive away manual with fuel and matts, which I thought was average. I know since then there has been 2 (maybe more) price rises already. So a Vti auto for 26k driveway is a decent price, although hard bargaining never hurts:)

fair enough.. and mine is auto.. so normally plus 2-3 so just 26 and yet i got VSA and curtain airbags and of course 2010 model.. fair enough.. stop being hard on myself.. lol

[jjeetthh]

also can i ask, can i change the rims like in a few mos? will it void the warranty? i actually posted this question in another topic but i would appreciate if you have some idea.. they say, as long as the modification is not the source of the problem, it won't void the warranty.. but some say it depends on the dealer.. thanks

[Kangaaz]

.. stop being to hard on myself.. lol

Exactly:) you just got a new car, time to celebrate and not question yourself. Plus you got alot more safety features than cars that are manufactured just over a year ago (plus boot release).

With mods, it is dealer depedent to a certain extent. If however you changed it to a Honda rims then I guess less likely they will void warranty on your suspension, but IF they wanted to, any non approved accessory mods could THORETICALLY void your warranty.

most likely.. thanks mate.. have u done some mods on yours? all i want actually are just the bodykits and rims and that's it.. as i said on the other topic, i have the kits on stand by already in phils, just waiting for a good deal on shipping

[fitme]

jjeetthh, did you get a spoiler as well??..i want to get a ducktail for my FD, just found out that there are lots of stuff from phil ..and its really cheap.....

[jjeetthh]

jjeetthh, did you get a spoiler as well??..i want to get a ducktail for my FD, just found out that there are lots of stuff from phil ..and its really cheap.....

oh no.. full body kit except the spoiler... it was just used in a car show.. and i very good friend of mine.. i actually talk to him and we could organise some shipment here as it's really cheap compared here.. but my worry is just the fees to pay here and since let's say 3 or 4 kits will be shipped, even separately, what is the likelihood that customs would notice it and charge us?

i called the shipping company and it charges 200usd for 1 cubic metre of goods regardless of weight (although there wont be prob with that) 1 cu metre is like 3 boxes side by side.. and i reckon just 2 boxes would fit the length of the longest part.. u reckon?

[Kangaaz]

most likely.. thanks mate.. have u done some mods on yours?

Just rims and headlights (projectors), nothing major.

[jjeetthh]

Just rims and headlights, nothing major.

but you modded it after the warranty?

[Kangaaz]

but you modded it after the warranty?

My car has extended warranty, so my warranty doesnt run out till 2013 (5 yrs), but I doubt much will go wrong if you change your rims and headlights, plus you can always put your stock parts back on in case of anything

[jjeetthh]

exactly.. that's one thing i wasn't able to consider.. the extended warranty.. tsk tsk tsk.. so the standard is? 3 yearS?

[fitme]

^^ yes 3years...but you can still buy the the 2yrs more for around $600+

[jjeetthh]

^^ yes 3years...but you can still buy the the 2yrs more for around $600+

or bargained it to be your freebie.. as i only got mats and chrome exhaust as freebies lol

[Kangaaz]

Oh yeah i got extended warranty and 5yr roadside thrown in with civic as well, roadside is worth about $400 if you go with RACV for about 80/yr * 5

[CivicVTI]

I bought the Civic Vti for quite expensive actually paid 29k for a sparkle grey civic vti with reverse parking sensors, alloy wheels, window tints and the mats and also got the paint protection and interior protection. Traded in my 2004 jazz gli with 75k km on it and am out of cash 20k. Thoughts?

[CivicVTI]

wow ripped ... no offence. but i got the 40th anniversary for 23k with 5yrs warranty... not too bad

Manual? Mine is auto I forgot to add

got my VTiL Auto for 30k with fog,mats,tint,paint protection

[threesix]

reading this makes me happy with my car. lol

[CivicVTI]

How will I be able to tell the difference between a 2010 model and a 2010 complied car? Is there a label somewhere?

[Datuk]

It's always good 2 have extended warranty!

[UNLS1]

How will I be able to tell the difference between a 2010 model and a 2010 complied car? Is there a label somewhere?

as its been said before, the 2010 spec model has full airbags, some were released in late 2009, they will have a 12/09 compliance plate, ones in jan will have a 01/10 plate.

both the same car.

[kawai]

i got my 2010 VTI manual for 23,990 last year(well ordered last dec b4 xmas) and got metallic paint for free (as advertised on news paper).

but i got 3party stuff like paint/dent/interior protection and tint for another 1.3k

also got carpet (this was meant to be free but they charged me $240 cus i brought the news paper in and told em metallic paint was free and i got charged), full weather protection on side windows and 2years dealer warranty (so total of 5years)

The dealer said the car should arrive about 1st week of Jan, then they call me up and said mid march >.<, but they said if i wanted black (over my original sparkle gray pearl) i can get it in mid Feb, so i went with the black.

but yeah the total cost of the car was under 26k

[fitme]

^^ do they have the carbon bronze color??

[UNLS1]

NO!

new blue colour and same red as the city

that was a good deal mate! mine was 26k and only freebies that i got were chrome exhaust and mat. I was informed it would arrive this january, and hopefully it does as i don't want to wait a lil longer. mine is black as well.

i didn't realise it's manual. :) still a good deal though

same situation as me in 2008, regretted ever since, should have just waited a bit longer, black paint is so hard to take care of. Did you get your car at Courtney and Patterson Honda?

[threesix]

black paint is the devil. looks sooooo good but its a bitch to keep it clean.

white cars ****theworld!! LOL ;)

[kawai]

^^ do they have the carbon bronze color??

yes they said they have bronze :d

[UNLS1]

yes they said they have bronze :d

wtf are u on about, there is NO bronze in the 2010 civic.

[eNGee]

i think he/they meant "Bold Beige" or some shiz like that.

[fitme]

there is NO bronze in the 2010 civic. overseas has carbon bronze civic color..so basically there is a CB civic...

[UNLS1]

lol bold beige has been deleted too!

[eNGee]

im not surprised.... it was never a good colour....

[UNLS1]

im not surprised.... it was never a good colour....

not in your eyes, but alot of older people loved that colour! We sold them all with ease!

[shadowground]

does anyone know when we'll start to see the MY10 Civic Sport Manual's around? am specifically looking for an ex-demo.

anyone can hazard a guess to the price of that?

still deciding between the Civic Sport and the Mazda3 SP25, anyone have any thoughts regarding the two?

[Terryfying]

just picked up the 2010 civic sport last week..gotta say i love it..though cant really help you our in comparing with the mazda as ice never driven it...the fd has everything i need (as i got all the options avaible) and it drives perfect...not real great performance wise but it does what i want it to=]...to the OP yes the 2010 arrived roughly 2 weeks ago

[shadowground]

did you get the manual civic sport?

just so i have some poiint of comparison when i walk into the dealers, how much did you pay for it? options and all?

[UNLS1]

not many dealers at all will put on a civic sport as a demo, best thing is find a vti or vti-l man and test drive that to get the feel for the clutch and gear box..

the power difference between the 2 isnt that great so will be good to try!

[shadowground]

would dealers often budge on the RRP of a brand new car?

from the honda website its about 36k for a manual Sport, and 30.5k for a manual VTi-L,

are the differences between the two justified by the 5k price difference?

[fitme]

dont pay rrp...my vtil rrp was around 33k...but when i went to the dealer, got it only for 30k driveaway with foggies,matting, and tint...

[Terryfying]

yeh i rrp fpr my fd2 sport was 38999 so lets just say 390000 and i bought all the options which apparently amounted to 6600 so 45600 all up....

since im asian and born with super bargaining powers i got the car for final value of 37000 for the lot drive away....really happy actually=]]]

[threesix]

super asian bargaining powers!!! lol its a good power to have.

[Muzzy]

What's included in all the options? Did you get like roof racks, tow bar etc?
Everything in the accessories catalogue?

I got mine last year with tint, mats, sensors, rear spoiler for 34k. I thought that was true bargaining power :)

[Terryfying]

um mats, sensors, door garnish, ascent lighting, visors, body kit, bluetooth,tints,

i, prety sure i forgot something but yeh those re the main options i got

sport has 2.0 engine, sunroof, full leather, 17" wheels, fog lights.

Not bad - a few more options than I got but 3k difference...

For example the ascent ligthing I did myself. Cost me $35 from ebay :D

btw - mine is auto...

[VTI-L]

Hey Guys,

Just brought my 2010 a couple of weeks ago, and this is what i got for it,

Bulid Jan 2010, MY10 and obviously complied 10,

Honda Civic VTI-L, with Mats, Fogs, Rear Sensors, Tint, Fulltank of Fuel, and Mudflaps for 29400 d/a, was orginally 29k even, but added the sensors and fogs in after the deal, still even the dealers is taking a loss on those.

Shopped round 5 dealers in Sydney.

Car is still on the Boat as of today, with Early March delivery

Thourght guys, i think this is a ripper deal

Steve

[fitme]

^^ thats a good deal mate....my 09 cost me 30k driveaway with only mats,tint and foggies

[CivicVTI]

Which dealer was that at?

[VTI-L]

Which dealer was that at?

Hey mate,

It was a sydney based dealer, Dont really want to say on a public forums mate...just incase they get 20 people demanding the same deal

What I will say is that i drove a very hard bargain for them to get my business :)

Cheers S....

Hey CivicVTI,

Just to clear it up for you, MY10 model cars (all manufac) are called that from about september onwards, its just the trend from the US, getting a MY11 model in the Fall(autumn) of 2010 - merely a marketing ploy,


When i was looking at the civics (getting mine in March), 3 things in Aus matter, Bulid Date - found on the body as you open the passenger side front door, near sill, i think with MY10 Oct/Nov onwards is MY10 cars, Compliance plate, found in engine bay ( from memory it againest the firewall on the right side of the engine bay(standing in front of the car looking back) this plate gets fitted in Austraila at the docks, and when you come to sell the care, this plate matter for resale, and Model year 09, 10, 11 etc.

IF your VTI has the words "SRS Curtian Airbag" on the "A" piller (sit in the drivers seat, and look to the right side of the windscreen) then its definatly a 2010 model,

Cheers S....
