2012 Civic here in Australia

[ryaan]

god car companies talk mad shit when it comes to fuel consumption. Do they think people just drive down hills all day?

lol +1

I've received the mail broucher from Honda. The sport model come with R20 (2.0 version of R18 hence cutting down the fuel consumption to 7.4 instead instead of 8.4 on previous sport mode) instead of K20

Lol.... Really.....

[didier]

I'm just planning how I can get the dealers in perth to waive the dealer delivery ^^ dyno blue please!

If the R20 motor is anything like the R18 we currently have, then 7.4l/100km would be plausibe. I regularly get 700-740km out of my 45 litres 1.8 VTi

From the photos the interior looks good.

Steve, how did you manage to get 700 with your Wakefield driving style?? LOL

Do you do mostly highway driving?

[Stevil]

All cruise control on the Hume with 98 ! Even with a good caning it still gives 10l/100km

Civic is a small car marketed as the car of the people, I expect it equipped with mandated safety, an excellent drive-train with excellent fuel efficiency, beyond this I'd be looking at Accord etc.

[mgnovenie]

So the Hybrid will be the most luxury model?

I'm due for a second car for the missus when we welcome the new addition to our family in 7 months time..
Hopefully Honda is going to come up with a turbo diesel Odyssey by then...

Hi guys.
I too was about to purchase a new Hyundai Elantra Elite (best price was $23,500) until I viewed a teaser ad for the new Civic (dam you tease ads).
Now I want one.
RRP $26,300. I will be paying cash.
What would be the bottom line figure that i should strive for from the dealer.
I have been informed that Honda dealers don't negotiate much from the RRP
Any advice welcome, Tx
