7th Gen Civic

[**Ghost**]

DO any u guy reckon the 7th gen civic will be as popular as the EG/EK models sometimesin teh far future? LIke when the 3 year factory warranties have worn out and people actually might mod it?

IMHO i reckon the 7th gen doesnt have the "spirit" of the civic anymore... its not small, its not sporty by any stretch of imagination... and well... i duno it just doesnt seem right yeh?

Think about it gentlemen... are our sons (for those that get em out in time) be scouring the trading post for JAzz VTi-s instead of civics like us?

not a pretty thought :shock:

[b16a_integra]

yeh, man, ill get my kid (one day a long way way) to get a jazz over the civic. maybe add a turbo kit. or if possible put a b16a in. but by then the new CRX would have been into production also, so id rather him get somethin like that (the CRX).

[b16a_integra]

i dont like it coz it reminds me too much of a mini van.

[**Ghost**]

agree iwth u there man... looks like a shrunken odyssey... its NOT a civic

[Weq]

The jazz is just as bad. My mums 7th gen is nice, turbos are there for the mounting also. Engine bay is no where near the size of a ek/eg though.. imo, its a new look in cars, personally i dont really like em, but they are nice cars, very roomy.

[Caster®]

B16 in the jazz? why not just put a K20 in there :o

hey man..i picked the 7th generation civic type R over the earlier model civic type R in my xbox game (sega GT2000)! hehehe it had more power output. Turbo'd it up and everything, goes hard.....cant turn for shit though, damn front wheel drive

i suppose that was worthless information....

[**Ghost**]

HAHAHAHA but we cant buy ctr in australia man... we get the car that looks likea loaf of bread

I actually dont mind the hatch :) but it sucks that there not available in 2 door hatch

[sesshoumaru]

my friend's 7th gen civic looks aight nowadays :P... fully kit, black bonnet, white wheels ;).

but its still a family wagon!

I prefer the jazz tho... looks liek a sportier civic :P.

my fav civic of all is the EK4/9 series tho.

[**Ghost**]

of couse man!! yeh its kinda sad that the civic we have looks like something straight outta Baker's delight...

do u know of neone who has made power outta ne of them\?

[skoota]

I reckon both the Civic and the Jazz look like a Mitsubishi Nimbus. They look gay. The Type R looks cool - except for the back and is heaps more powerfull. But it sucks that they're 4 door and sit so damn high. You'd be scared you'll scrape the fricken top of it when going under a bridge. Bad, bad Civic the new ones. Can't wait to see what they do with the next ones though...

[incoming]

Jazz looks cool i reckon... like the kei-class jap cars!!

[**Ghost**]

I dunno about the Jazz lookign cool man... 4 doors aside, its not exactly low nor sleek...

wot u guys reckon of the civic facelift| i reckon its even uglier...wtf is honda doinggggggggggg

[Setanta]

New Civic is ugly - well, the 4 door is ok but the hatch sucks ass. If we got the USDM 3 door Si it might be a step in the right direction, but 160bhp isnt much for a hot hatch nowadays. The Jazz is a better platform - they can be made to look awesome - but again, we should have got the 3 door varient as well as the 5.

Personally - the only Hondas in a real buyers market in Australia that are worth getting in the looks stakes are the S2000 and Euro Accord. Sorry to the DC5R owners - but IMO they are not as nice as the previous tegs, It looks like they were beaten on with the same ugly stick as the rest of the range :(. Honda lost the plot in the design stakes, Honda Australia has always lost the plot in addressing the affordable "Hot Hatch" market.

[[[d a n n y]]]

EG rulz...personally 7th gen....only thing that really turns my head in the 7th gen civics is the CTR's

but too bad...they r not available..here..

if it was.. 8)

[7th Gen]

well i got a 7th gen sedan, and i love it :)

seen some tricked up sedans and 5 dr hatches, but mostly things like wheels and exhausts or those bloody altezza lights.........grrr

there is a 2 dr coupe in the US, they seem to be very popular to modify......

[skoota]

Yeh pity Honda Australia decided not to release to 2dr coupe. why do they do that? They did the same with the EG coupe. They all look f*cking fantastic!

[NeuroX]

couple of pics of my ES civic. . . warrenty runs out @ the end of the year, then off in search of a k20

the new civics really need body kts on them to look good.

well for all those 3 dr hatch lovers out there, there's an EP hatch as well (current Civic Type R body style). if honda aus bought that in as a 19,990 special that would be the same as the old EK CXi.........but alas, missed opportunity.......i guess the entry level honda is a jazz now, but the kids don't like it cause its got 5 doors and looks a bit dumpy...........

[7th Gen]

well yes, or dumped as :D

thing is, not much for us 7th gen owners to choose from, all the good stuff is in US or japan (as usual). was thinking about the OEM bodykit before, looks nice and clean. and with the hybrid civic spoiler, little discreet one like the M5. very nice (sigh)

[sesshoumaru]

i think the biggest problem is, is that they don't come with K20A's :x

[NeuroX]

i totally second that. . . if they came with k20a like in thailand, there wouldnt be a need for this thread rite :?:

[**Ghost**]

Hey guys i just went to the revs website... it sez the Civic Type R is legible for personal import under the Special Enthusiast Veichle Scheme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like it doesnt have to be 15 yrs :twisted:

[Jus-10]

I love my Jazz! Where are all the other Jazz owners around here anyway? Can't anyone get their mums to sign up or something to keep me company?!

7th gen sedan is pretty cool dumped on some big-ass rims, but the update on the hatch just looks retarded

J

P.S. I love Jazz!
