2007 Civic Sport Questions

new model comes with aux input toooooo!!!

Can't compare SP23 and 6 because they have the same engine. And 335 has a bigger engine than an entry 525i. If they made a Civic with the 2.4L engine, then it makes more sense not to get the Euro. But now, when comparing Civic to the Euro, even the size is almost the same! (euro is only 10cm longer, 1 cm wider and 1 cm taller).

While I dont personally disagree with you, the size of the interior cabin does feel a LOT larger in the euro than the civic and therefore is deceiving when driving.

I always wonder why people still go for the Civic Sport manual when a manual base Euro is about the same price drive away (Euro has free on roads, 1 year free comprehensive and 5 year warranty).

You are getting a bit more of a 'better' package in that it is the top of the line model.

actually everyone i know ask the same question when I bought my Civic Sports (about "why dont u get Euro base instead?" question). For me, Euro is more like a "gentlemen" and "charismatic" car. I was looking for a more "young" & "sporty" looks at the time I bought my Sports. That's why I prefer the Sports at that time... but later when I turn 30ish or when I have my own family, I will 100% prefer the Euro...

Hmmmm, that explains why I hankered after a Euro first but as I pass 50, I need to feel young again.

Hmm, but the Euro is faster, turns tighter and uses the same petrol 10.5L/100km in the city. But for looks, the Euro is for older people. hehehe Civic with Mugen kit is much hotter than the Euro with the Mugen kit.

Actually... my worst sin is to look @ new Civic Mugen kit before I went to buy one... (now you know why I prefer the Sports)

Yeah, my friend has that kit on his black sports. And its HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT, burning HOTTTTTTTTTTT!

I think this boils down to personal preferences. For me, I prefer the euro's looks with standard OEM skirts/kit. Prefer the sleeper look than fancy kits.
But the latest civic's chasis development seemed to be very aerodynamically designed towards more wind-flow geometry, even more so than the Euro.

Do you know what is the drag coefficient for the Civic? For the Euro, it's 0.26.

Have no idea mate, perhaps some FD civic technical guru want to shed some light in the drag coefficient for the FD?

This seems to be the area honda is moving towards. Check out the civics from the EG era, then things got heavier with the EK, then even heavier with the ES and now the heaviest civic ever made, the FD. Weight seems to be increasing but body/chasis development seem to have developed with each model.

Honda is an excellent engineering company. You see models getting rounder and fatter but it is just getting more refined.

Read one article which states the hybrid FD is 0.27, should be the same for the normal FD as they share the same chasis?

Quote:
The Civic manages airflow for an approximate 5 percent improvement in coefficient of drag (Cd). Items such as the A pillar, side mirrors, wiper layout and the use of underfloor pans have all been designed to minimize air turbulence. These designs result in enhanced fuel economy and less wind noise. Other measures contributing to reduce wind noise levels include dramatically reducing the width of body seams, mounting glass flush with the surrounding body panels, and using double seals around all doors.

Then again, accord and civic are really 2 different class of cars.
