Honda Civic Review

Overview:
The Honda Civic is the eighth generation Civic and all-new in India, rolling out from the Honda Siel Cars plant located in Greater Noida. The Honda Civic has been voted as the 'Car of the year' for 2007. The Civic, after its launch in the US, comes with some tweaks to suit the Indian road. It is powered by 1.8L i-VTEC engine, comes with higher ground clearance and stiffer suspension. With top-of-the-line technology, sporty looks, choice of automotive and manual transmissions, the Civic is bound to please the Indian taste palates.

The Civic places itself in the entry-level D Segment and competes with Corolla and the Skoda Octavia. The Civic design is youthful and trendy in comparison with its competitors. The Civic comes in two choices: Petrol and Hybrid. 1.8E and 1.8V are the petrol versions and 1.3L is the hybrid version. The 1.8E comes with a 5-speed manual transmission whereas the 1.8V comes with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission. The Hybrid engine comes with Continuous variable transmission.

The Honda Civic is the futuristic family car!


Powertrain and Performance:
With its peppy engine and buttery smooth transmission, the Honda Civic comes with a high-tech and revolutionary 1.8L inline-4 engine that cranks out 130 bhp at 6,300 rpm and a peak torque of 172 Nm is achieved at 4,300 rpm. The incorporation of variable timing control for the single overhead cam enhances engine performance at high speed. The all-aluminium engine is ultra smooth and almost silent at low revs. Equipped with the 5-speed manual or an optional automatic (1.8V variant only), the Civic is swift. The power graph remains stable between 3,000 and 4,000 rpm, and that is when power is essential for a stop-and-go drive. It is a muscle engine and roars at high revs.

Under the hood, the Hybrid version sports a high-power 1.3 liter, four-cylinder petrol engine, which forks out a powerful 94 bhp @ 6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 122 Nm @ 4,600 rpm. This hybrid power is coupled with a Continuous variable transmission.

The all-independent suspension with McPherson Strut in front and coil over double wishbone with torsion bar in the rear is excellent during high speeds and highway drives, but not a very good mate for bad roads. The suspension system is tweaked for minimal body roll during tight cornering. The all disc brakes with brake assist give instant halt to the mighty car. The power-assisted, collapsible steering is precise and takes speed of the car into consideration for inputs. With all these smartly tuned features, the ride quality of the Civic takes driving to a new horizon.


Build and Styling:
The Honda Civic is not a typical three box character; the A-pillar is shifted forward for better aerodynamics that makes it look like the next generation car. The easy flow design with the kick-up eyed headlights and floating chrome grille are some of the stand out features.

The circular roof rises gradually and falls on the boot gracefully; the Civic's short boot gives it a contemporary feel. A touch of elegance is visible at every corner. The low-slung car looks sporty and outgoing. The interiors are also no less competitive; the cockpit style dash is really impressive and practical. The glove box has a handle on the right that makes it convenient for the driver. The Z-shaped hand break, side door knob, steering wheel and the instrument console are all futuristic for better practicality.

The digital speedometer impresses the most, while the premium sound system keeps you entertained all the way. The design gives scope for sufficient headroom and shoulder room. Though the boot is not voluminously large, it is still sufficient. The futuristic design makes this sedan a comfortable one.
