2012 Civic here in Australia

Congrats on the purchase! Do tell us some more review after you drive it for a while, and few pics of the car would be good!

Hopefully Honda have a little more foresight in regards to looking after their customers should warranty concerns arise .. time will tell (fingers crossed) ... this is my first ever Honda so I can only hope the reliability is as good as they say.

Have you read on how HA taking care of people who complains about "pinging" issue on the Accord Euro CU2? First they said, its not a problem. Then they told you to change the fuel from E10 or 95 to 98. Then finally they have the fix for this problem that they said its not an issue. I think on this matter, there no much diff from how Ford handles the warranty.

I have a Mondeo which was made in Germany, it is a 2002 from NZ which was not imported into Oz the Air Con is great and can cool as much as any Oz made car.

New shape keeps growing on me. Take delivery of VTI-L next week.

Civic Si looks good in these shots from Motor Trend. It would great if Australia got this model.

Those rims look like the optional rims on the Honda City...

Still not a fun of the rear but front of the SI isnt bad.

In my opinion, the styling has become more conservative with the latest model Civic and other bad points are:

- no K20 engine for the sport model (carry over from previous Australian delivered sport model)
- No K24 engine / 6 speed manual (as per USDM Sport model)
- no 6 speed manual transmission throughout range (and no manual transmission in Sport)

for those of you who are interested in new 2.0 engine (not too badly equipped for the price point i think)
I thought I will share this link about Honda R20 engine

http://asia.vtec.net/hardcore/8GAccord20/index.html

The article talks about the R20 engine available in overseas 8G accord and compares it against K20 engine
quite interesting.

Small loss of low end power and high end, with gain in mid range and fuel economy. I think its a good trade off, what do u guys think?
