review of the VTi-L sedan here. Really good fuel consumption, driving feel was there but the tyres and lack of torque holds it back.
Thought the article was generally on the mark.Quote:

Civic Hatch review:http://www.caradvice.com.au/178820/h...-hatch-review/
R18 loves to make my car sprint up the massive hill on the local expressway here in canberra. The reviewers forget how a Honda drives after testing all those fuel wasting fords and holdens.
er... what the heck???
http://www.caradvice.com.au/180033/h...-revised-spec/
yeah the first of the thai built ones.
now have a VTI-L with nav, smart key, fog lights, auto headlights and rain sensing wipers!
oooft...wonder if they will be priced differently or the same as the jap built ones.
Looking at purchasing the 'Sport' civic tomorrow, just wondering if anyone has any tips to deal with a salesperson? I really want to get it at the best price possible!
how did you go with buying the sports? any discount on asking price?
I wish I could get your hatchback in North America.
saw one of the new hatches on the road today....look pretty good...might have to test drive it
Anyone guttered their rims yet?
My wife's friend just guttered mine .. $%^&*(
anyone know good way to repair gutter rash without spray paiting the whole rims?
seen some of the new hatches around uni. i dont know, but they just look ridiculous to me
Just get some stanced rims man. Lol. serious.Quote:

Now I only have the car for what...3 months?! anyone know if Honda will or can fix this?? Maybe a re-badge will be nice...
Not happy with it!! other than that the car is fantastic, the only downside is the plastic interior that get dirtied/scratches so easily...
Remove the badge, car looks clean without it.
To say the least I rolled my car out of the dealership, home, then removed civic and VTI badge.

I think this is more about the fact he doesn't want to people to possibly think he bought a VTI, because you always need the climate control/filters/alloys lulz
BAHAHAHA lulz indeed!Quote:

The looks of this thing is starting to grow on me...
those brake lights are a real deal braker ;-) ... as for the rest, sort of like.
Those rear lights are ****1n ugly
i loled "Despite the gutless engine, the Civic Hatch is a very refined machine. "
And its so ****in ugly
Seeing a few around and about now, was tailing a blue one down canning hwy this morning through south perth, and yesterday a black one parked in kings park and last week a white one outside the health department building lol.
I swear all I can focus on are those god dam brake lights and how it just looks so out of place, its like a halo crashed into the car.
Guessing the bad mouth the reviewer gave the engine its an R18 yeah?

Curse the SOB , for breaking in for the "fun" as nothing was taken ..
weirdos ,
the window is easy to replace but the door trim and the frame is the problem.
Sorry to hear about your unfortunate situation.
Where abouts did this happen? Did you have anything on your backseat or anything desirable to the low life who did this? As the cut looks pretty deep, try and get some touch up paint on there ASAP just to prevent anything worse from happening :-(
Happened in my carpark which is a public access carpark in Melbourne CBD.Quote:

Until today, I have no idea why the person broke into my car. Nothing was taken . Not my belkin charger, my usb thumbdrive, the dollar coin ... Nothing!!
The touch up paint would not cover the damage. I would need for someone to do the body work , to make it all smooth before using touch up paint on it ..
Although the window have been fixed now , the dink there just too distracting to me .. :(
I meant to put touch up paint to ensure the bare metal wasn't exposed to the elements, to prevent rust etc. :-p
The rust is like the last thing on my mind ...although I know that will be a problem later..Quote:

Hi Guys,
I got into a really bad accident a month ago. It was collision with another car as seen in the picture. Lucky for me the Honda Civic lived up to its 5-star Ancap Safety rating and I was not hurt.
Attachment 23168
Now I'm having my car fixed but the problem is that there are no parts (see below..) available in Australia and even in Japan (according to Austral Honda) and it would take 3 months for them to produce the said parts for my car.
Parts not available for the next 3 months:
L/H/AIR BAG 77820TROE80ZB
L/H/DASH PAD 77821TROE80ZB
CONTROL MODULE 77960TROW01
CLOCK SPRING 77900TR0921
The car was really performing well during the 4 months of driving it. I couldn't really ask for more. It was performing as advertised. I'm just frustrated with the after sales support because its our only car and since the accident we've been renting a car which is starting to drill some holes in my pocket.
Has it always been like this with Honda with regards to their after sales support?
Is there anything I can do to resolve my situation?
Thanks in advance.
that sounds like bullshit man ... contact another dealership or Honda Australia.

I don't know how much true this is but if it was, I'm just worried for other honda owners who may have the same problem as mine in the future.
Don't bother with the dealership, they'll only be really motivated to order the parts that provide them the most amount of profit.
Keep bombing Honda Australia, also leave feedback for the service of Austral.
Oh crap sorry to hear man about your new civic
Was it the other driver's fault?
Hope it gets fixed soon and it solved
sorry to hear
if i'm not wrong, doesn't the passenger airbag deployment usually spell a write off?
Usually a car is a write off
When the repairs of a car cost about 60-70% of what the car is worth
It's a write off because reparing it is un-ecnomical for the insurer so they just pay you out for the car
And if you do go with that decision they'll sell the car to pickles and make money off of it
Or
You can buy it back for 10% of what it's worth and try and repair it yourself
If you live in NSW - you CANNOT re-register a written off car (eve nif its able to be repaired)
Just a heads up
I'm just curious about the structural damage
I.e the front fenders, radiator support beam, bumper, lights, etc.
Glad the car put a dent in that P.O.S hyundai
if it is a structural damage , most probably will be a write off anyway ..Quote:
