good point you got there... but for me, i think my look is still too boyish... even my parents and siblings also can't accept i'm driving a accord around at my age... LOL...

OOT a bit, the new accord looks less aggressive compare to the previous gen, but it definitely looks more elegant...

same to civic fb, the longer i stare on it... the more i like it

Civic hybrid on its way...

ofcourse... 2.0 is definitely out of my scope because of the fuel consumption... i experienced it with my family fd2 2.0...

as for hybrid vs 1.8, i would say the paper fact by honda is quite true... the torque of the hybrid and 1.8 is almost the same, but lose in top speed which is very logic for a 1.5 engine vs 1.8 engine...

and for the car accelerate from full stop, yes... hybrid move slower than the 1.8 due to the cvt transmission but after cruise above 20km/h, u hardly find the difference in terms of power of picking up... this is where IMA technology kick in

another important fact i opt for hybrid over 1.8 is the specs, hybrid equipped with push/start button, leather seat, led tail lamp, duck tail, cruise control, reverse camera... and nonetheless, fc which is better than the city...

15 rim and 2 brake disc is a bit let down for me but not significant... even my SA tell me, current civic FB not much problem... but if really want to compare, the 1.8 suprisingly have more problem than the hybrid especially sensor and iMID problem... i not sure how true it is , but is it because of CKD?

hmmm.... just sharing some opinions, hope it does help u make up your mind... u are planning to get an FB as well?

hi bro... nice to have you here...

for bodykits, modulo still the best for me

and i agree with you, 1.8s is really kinda empty in terms of spec... perhaps, maybe next year hybrid price increase by remove tax exemption and will help to push up the sales of 1.8s again

you see... there are actually saying the 2.0 no power with the econ mode on (time frame 2:49 to be precise)...

i have nothing left to say when the so called test drive done in an eco mode, probably they din realise and expect the car to be powerful in eco mode also lar...

are you driving a civic or have test drive on one unit? i guess it does affect, correct me if i'm wrong..

no offense bro... i don't think the eco mode is just slow down the throttle response...

as for me, the press on eco mode did make my civic hybrid become only a slightly powerful car than a myvi... without eco mode, i don't see a different when picking up compare to the 1.8...

Without bias? they are famous of fancy about toyota cars... try follow their blog and you will know...
i dowan to argue anymore since u said they are aware of the eco mode, i really believe they are testing the car in eco mode... i doesn't tell but the video ...
enjoy commenting
