the "cockpit" is freaking awesome ...
it has like a "3D' effect on the 2 bars on the left and right of the speedometer ...
the one that helps you to drive at the most economical ..

the outside ... well ....like all the critic have been saying .. the 8th gen is better ...

the leather seems cheap? How's it comapre to the plasticy/scratchy dash of the 8th gen?

sorry.. the leather is awesome
i mean the dashboard....was a bit of a downgrade

seems that they went with a harder type of material on the 9th gen .. rendering it looks cheaper than the 8th
the 8th have softer material ...

i do not have the car to compare side by side , but base on what I can remember ...

but with the awesome display ... you won't notice much of the dashboard anyway..

^yeah they look the same but if you see it in person, maybe its just the new car shiny-ness, but the new civic rear does look nicer and kind of classy lol
much nicer curves etc
had a dyno blue sport parked next to me at uni, red P as well

i have the Civic SI launch on June 4th. Looking forward to it.

Civic Sport will have Sat nav and reverse camera and smart key when it arrives next month from thailand.

There will be a Vti-l and Vti-LN also. The Vti-L is the same as the current jap one but the Vti_LN gets sat nav and camera, rain sensing wipers, smart key, auto head lights, chrome door handles and i think fog lights.

Wow! Will the price of the sports went up with the satnav? or is it become standard?
