Cheers Bro,
Which words that showed I'm emotional? haha
Anyway, I just curious when people said Gen 8 more powerful than Gen 9 because it's DOHC.

But the info from Honda showed, HP is same for both while torque Gen 9 have extra 2 than Gen 8.
Please elaborate, saya budak baru belajar.

However, Civic US aka gen9.5(perhaps) is gorgeous. Anybody have info, it this version coming to m'sia or not?

SOHC has a characteristic of better pickup from stationary compare to DOHC (low rev).

DOHC has more omph during high rev

Can you explain in layman. (note...we are talking on civic 2.0 Dohc vs civic 2.0 Sohc ya)

Such as... when you potong other car you need pickup, so sohc better.
When you drive 150kmh... Dohc engine still quiet but sohc have some noise and berat. Long term..civic dohc engine will lasting than civic sohc. (Example)

when u want to over take other from 80km/h, DOHC defitnely give u more punch

SOHC pick up advantage only apply when the car is stationary, it does not apply when u are cruising around 100km/h and wanted pick up to 120km/h etc. DOHC shines out in the scenario of 100km/h -> 120km/h etc

and as other forumers said about FC, SOHC consume lesser fuel during city drive. However, during constant highway cruising DOHC and SOHC has not much difference.

Overall, the new Civic takes a step back in many areas when compared to other similar C segment cars such as the 408, Jetta, Focus. Haven't seen the new Corolla Altis, new Slyphy or new Mazda 3 yet so can't comment on those.

- Interior dash quality
- No more fold down seats (WTH?)
- Engine. But no doubt the R series engine is better for FC. Those who wants to mod their car will be very sorely disappointed the number of things they can do compared to the K series engine.
- Small boot
- QC, many many complaints about finishing, gaps, i-mid errors etc.

Even as an co-owner of a 1.8FB, I'd have to say its a very poor effort by Honda this time round :/

yes, agree on this.

9 gen civic really ripped off by the 8/8.5 gen in following areas:

- Interior dash/ buttons/ handbreak quality
- QC! the gaps in the 9 gen is really doh.gif from bumper to interiors.. seriously sweat.gif
- No more fold down seats
- cut down from more potential K engine hmm.gif
