Was shopping around today and didn't realise that it's available now. Though they didn't have one to test drive in the 2L sport.
Comes with leathers, sunroof and 16" wheels. The dash and steering wheel is abit weird but overall it's got a nice interior.
Does anyone know if the 2L is a SOHC or DOHC?
it's a shame it only pumps out 114KW.....I assume it's a SOHC.
$33,000 drive away.
serious?
tradein time
where has all the VTEC power gone ??? :(
hey hey
why yes i have driven the new 2.0ltr sports with the paddle shift and was about to get an manuel but wasnt lucky enough. went well with 3 people in the car tho. i think its sohc as it doent have such a high redline. its got 177nm tho so doesnt matter that is only 114kw also develops peak power down low. it drives every similar to the euro so its something to compare it to. iv also driven the vti with the 1.8ltr engine. price is 33,155$ manuel drive away. if you considering buying it come to me il hook you up because i work for honda:)
2.0L's a DOHC with i-VTEC on the intake cam only. The 1.8L engines are SOHC.
ahhk. its vtec for fuel economy then...Quote:

Pity the new Civic range only comes with 4 speakers and no gas struts for the rod holding the bonnet. Cloth trim on the 1.8L looks crap. Bring back the velour.
I'm not sure whether the buttons on the steering wheel have back lighting.
Overall, it's a great looking car.
It's got 2 Cams Weq :)Quote:

Yep, i test drove an automatic sport today. Was very impressed actually. Im quite certain I'll be trading the prelude in on one very shortly.
Tho there is a huge demand so it may take a few months to get the one you want specifically....
Are you sure? The latest Honda magazine states that the 2.0 is a SOHC, like the 1.8.Quote:

frankly, $33155 is pretty steep for a civic sport manual, considering other dealers are doing the euro manual for about $33000 driveaway. u get an extra 40bhp 'free'Quote:
