My friend bought VtiL top spec just months ago when Honda has special for $27k with special color, pearl metallic, n leather seats. Compare with my FD1 sedan my2011, their civic hatch better in: built, interior finish, practicality from hatch, and more features of course than my vti. However, I don't like the auto only for VtiL. I test drive it, imo I prefer driving with manual stick than with paddle shift. I feel more grunt with manual trans. The hatch's body is heavier than the 2011 sedan. And I didn't hear the unique exhaust tone when revving.
Unfortunately, I didn't drive for long trip, I could not comment about the suspension. The civic hatch' suspension uses similar system with jazz, front strut n rear torsion beam. With Jazz, the ride is not as comfy as civic, especially those who sit at the back seat. The torsion beam at jazz cannot absorb the road bump as good as the civic' multilink suspension.
And sit at back seat of the civic hatch, I did not feel as roomy as in my Jazz GE. I think it's because of the smaller windows.
I think in Europe where civic hatch come from (Swindon, England), it tries to compete with VW Golf. That explains the good built quality. And the stalks for indicator and wiper are opposite than FD1 sedan, just like the european car.
That will be a massive fail if they did come in auto, also I didnt like the rear seat layout like the Jazz to me it seems like they are trying to cut cost.. I guess there is potential for wide etc like the BTCC.Quote:
