Kinda defeats the purpose of calling it "sport" hey...

There will be NO manual civic sport from Japan, have to wait for thailand....
we didnt really sell many civic sports in manual in the 8th gen anyways..

Big price drop for the Sport. It will become much more attractive.

Shame the 2.4 litre motor didn't make it. IMO there's not a big enough difference between the 1.8 and 2.0. The 2.4 would be a major difference.

or the lack of it, since it's almost identical as the previous gen

ahhhh i see.

2006 1.3L = claimed 4.6/100ks (which is total bullshit)

Sp25? That's like Polo GTi money (minus the 12 mth queue). Anyway you won't be able to get them for much longer, they are being replaced by SP20 with skyactiv tech iirc. Else there is the new focus sport with a DI 2.0 litre which make more power than the sp25 2.5

18" wheel option for sports..
its actualy 30mm shorter than 8th gen, wheel base is a bit shorter, its easy to compare differences when u have the 8th gen next to the 9th gen. bonnet it longer, back is higher, better visability out the front A piller and supposed to drive worlds apart.
