Wasn't impressed with the car at all. Dash felt like your in a blardy odessey. Car way to heavy for the power output.
At the end of the day it's just another civic. I don't get why ppl are getting excited. Maybe you'll feel diff after you drive the car and think with your feet on the ground.
Looks nice from the outside
Save your money and get the euro ppl. You can't even begin to compare these two cars........hence their in different target markets I guess. :D
No black leather. WTF is up with that?
only grey and blue'ish and the two tone colours.
You can guess it wasn't my choice to buy AHHAHahhahahah.
fark'n i-Wetec my ass.
to all you dealers, is this sat nav/screen option available for the vti-l or sport here?

the civic is a great car and a massive step forward from the old civic...and if u compare it to all the other cars in the range it is bloody good!Quote:

No Sat Nav on the Civic yet. Which is disappointing but I'd imagine that it will eventually come out. After all, they have it on the Honda Euro Luxury as an option and it looks quite similar to that one you have in the picture.
For those comparing the Civic Sport to the Euro:
1. The Euro standard manual is a better car. It drives better, has a better engine and arguably the Japanese build quality is better than the Thai with better detail (e.g. better carpets, door seals, spare alloy compared to the spare steel in the Civic Sport). If you're getting a manual car, get the Euro.
2. The reasons for getting the Civic Sport automatic over the Euro standard auto are mainly cosmetic frills - better fuel economy, paddle shift, leather seats and sunroof. The Euro automatic performance is smooth but not fast... and is a fair comparison to the Civic Sport.
If you're wanting the frills, compare the Civic Sport to the Euro Luxury. The former is $36k driveaway with tinting, metallic paint, mats, rear sensors. THe latter is $43k driveaway with very few extra accessories (but oh so gorgeous heated leather seats, 17" rims and HID).
Mind you, the Civic Sport paddle shift isn't anywhere as responsive as the VW golf GTI DSG.
If your budget is around 35k, then go for the Civic Sport if you MUST have leather. Go for the Euro if you don't need leather. If you are comparing leather-equipped Euro, then it is already out of the 30-40k price range.
BTW, the paddle shift is nothing special. The response time should be similar to the Euro's auto tiptronic.
i've driven both and agree - the paddle shift is pretty much the same, and nothing special. it is nice to have that extra control though, esp when you want the car to change up and the auto box thinks otherwise...Quote:

also the sunroof is real nice :)
With both front/rear curtain airbags in addition to the standard set, the Civic Sport is almost certain to achieve a 5 star rating. Seeing how well it's done in safety assessments around the world.Quote:

And I agree, the sunroof is very nice - especially for airing out a car on a hot day.
The Sports model also has a stiffer suspension than the standard VTI/VTI-L. Handling and refinement isn't up on par with the Euro though.
oh really? i had no idea about the suspension when i bought mine, i thought the only performance enhancements were engine and tyres. where did you read about the suspension?Quote:
