Questions about the new VTiL Civic.

[aero]

Thanks....I'll wait for next years model because the VTi may come standard with alloys.....like Subaru did with the new Impreza.

i dont know about that lol. it would be a much better alternative to do what johnnyfd said and get aftermarket wheels for ur car. as long as u dont go something super lightweight and jdm like some works or rays wheels, they should be cheaper than the price honda gives for the 16" alloys on the vti-l.

if ur not in a hurry, u can always wait and see for what comes up next year, although i think it is highly unlikely that alloys will come standard on the vti.

I'm only guessing.

for the '09 models, i rkn u'd be looking at around $33k drive away?
is there any specific reason why u want the vti-l and not just the vti?

1 mth.ago we paid $27900 driveaway for 09 build and complied VTi-L manual with metalic paint and 2yr or 40K free Honda service so for auto i reckon add $2400.So approx.$30300.

vti will always be on steelies with hubcap, bare minimum on the car. (optional upgrade to alloys etc...)
vti-L is the model up and will always have alloy's as base hence price is higher... also notice the L is for Luxury.
sport will always have different wheels to the two above.

full length airbags is the only thing that i want in a VTiL variant...i wish it could be an optional to VTi

Yes, but there does not seem enough to warrant the increase in price of th VTi-L over the VTi........alloy wheels with bigger tyres + 6 stack CD player + extra air bags + 60/40 fold down rear seat .......and that's about all.??

plus the steering mounted control for the radio...afaik the vti doesnt have this...
currently im in the market of buying a new car.....my choices are the Civic VTIL or the Lancer Sportback VRX...feature wise, lancer wins.

I don't think you could beat the Honda Civic VTi or VTi-L.
I don't think you'll find the quality of the Lancer as good as the Civic.
I test drove the Civic VTi auto today and was amazed by how great it felt on the road....I had it up to 100kph and it was so smooth and stable that I was really impressed. The only thing that was not 100% was the noise from the motor and not so smooth auto change at low speeds. At 100kph it was very quiet though. The new Mazda 3 has a super smooth 5 speed auto .......but yuK!..I wouldn't have one of them because they feel terrible on the road.

I am 183 cms and have no problem sitting in the Civic, even when the seat is adjusted to its highest position.

Car drives well with smooth gear changes and handles road bumps quite well.

My Civic seems to run at about 10L/100KM which 100% city driving.

Yes , I have noticed the Civic has plenty of head room but was surprised today when I sat in a new Corolla that the Corolla had even more head room than the Civic.

You say 'smooth changes'.......does that mean you have an auto? I found the gear changes in the Civic auto a little rough but nothing to worry about.

I would like the Civic to be even better on bumps ......just like the new Subaru Impreza which is one of the best small cars I have experienced for the way it rides.

One of the best things about the Civic is it's good fuel economy.....10L/100KM which 100% city driving.... sounds pretty good to me.

But overall......it's almost impossible to beat the Civic when I take everything into consideration.

Yes it's an auto. But so far it has been very reliable and is running very well. I have not had a problem with the car at all.

Get yourself a really good price and get some accessories and you should really enjoy your Civic.
