Coupe Drink more than Hatch?????

[kelviN]

Just browsing throught www.redbook.com.au and found that the civic coupe vtir drinks 9.5L/100km for city and 7.4L for highway.

Whereas, Civic Hatch Vtir drinks 7.6/100km and 6.6/100km for city/highway. There is only a 10kg weight difference between them so what is the reason for the coupe drinking much more?

I heard the coupe has a closer gear ratio for faster acceleration...is this tru??

all coupes have vtec while not all hatches do.

[yourfather]

aerodynamics play a part too.

[ap]

not all coupes have vtec

[d15z1SUX]

hes comparing coupe vtir to hatch vtir so whether or not all coupes or hatches had vtec or not is irrelevant. anyway im pretty sure all coupes had vtec. they all had sohc vtec then later the vtir coupe was introduced in 2000? the reason for the differences in the fuel consumption could be because the way they were tested.

[destrukshn]

coupes also came in GLi
so no, they did not all come in vtec.

[simbadda54]

oh yea didnt see that bit

[kelviN]

this is a direct comparision between the two vtir models. How about the gear ratio? i read somewhere that the coupe has a closer gear ratio. is this true?

[underglow]

Could simply be that the figures are wrong. Have you correlated it with any other site? Drive etc

NEVER EVER rely on redbook

96-98
EK vtir,gli,cxi
EJ(coupe) VTi, not sure if tehre was another

99-00
EK CXi,GLi
EM VTiR, GLi

the VTiR's come with same gear ratio's, same gearbox, same motor.

GLi coupe, doesnt come with vtec, but normallly, all GLi coupe must be auto tansmition and manufactured in 1999, and share same rear lights design (upe red, down white)as vtir EM1 coupe, no front lip+rear drum brake. that's all I know about.

[kj887]

Hatch vtir & coupe vtir share same b16a2 engine n gear box, should no diff. but coupe doesnt has sunroof, i hve neva seen any EM1 equipped OEM sunroof.

GLi coupe no front lip+rear drum brake. that's all I know about.

That's incorrect. The GLi Coupes came with rear disc brakes. Not rear drums brakes.

Edit - here's the proof:

cos i saw they r really have rear drum brake, pretty sure not disc, cos my best friend has one, he is 1st owner, n saw "GLi" sticker at the boot....so......n the car is facelift model......
wat for ppl put "Gli" sticker at the boot? n i know all vti coupe must be rear drum as my car, but how come GLi equips rear disc brake?

[xtercii]

fark gli coupe must be super rare then, I have never seen it on the road nor anywhere in the ad for sale.

[kj887]

Hatch vtir & coupe vtir share same b16a2 engine n gear box, should no diff. but coupe doesnt has sunroof, i hve neva seen any EM1 equipped OEM sunroof.There is an option for sunroof with EM1's. There's quite a few here in Melbourne.
