never drove a civic 1.8 before.. only civic 2.0..
i wonder how's the 1.8 performs..
to me the Forte 2.0 performance pick-up 0-100 was so-so.. on the other hand when flooring the pedal to get from 120-200km/h was kinda impressive for a 2.0 NA 4 cylinder.. not even breaking a sweat..


Added on June 23, 2012, 10:04 pmfriends, I need info from you guys.. anyone of you had experienced the Continental ContiMAXContact MC5 tires.. ??
I.. am really so freaking seriously decided gonna change my car rubbers next weekend..
I need super quiet and solid comfort with superb grip.. handling is not a priority..

thanks !!  blush.gif

hmm i found the initial pick up was weak from the first 2 gears, but once hits the 3rd gear onwards it was really nice... so does my L/100KM tongue.gif

when sudden acceleration (gear downshifting), the engine is loud and can feel the vibration at the steering wheel and accelerator pedal, is it normal?

elru u downshift too much? rpm?

how to put it, even when in auto mode during overtaking for that few seconds you can feel the gear downshifted probably from gear 4 to 2 for power @2500 - 4000 rpm, but at the same time the engine is loud till the strong vibration can be felt frm the steering wheels n pedal, so fast mounting is loose? wish i can see which gear im running instead of just D in auto mode

Elru,
Not sure how is the vibration u encountered.
If from gear 4 to gear 2 (using paddle shift), the engine sound is quite loud and noticeable (similar like engine braking sound when u going down a hill)
There will be jerking and vibration but mild one(similar with the those I experienced when driving a manual car)

not sure about ur case here, coz its like very light vibrations not very not shaking ur hands type. 4k rpm would be loud to hear in the cabin

i dont remember experience that before, currently my ODO is about 1800km... its happens (mild) when trying to pick up speed, harsher if faster... unless i accelerate slowly then its smooth. perhaps let the engine runs in more.. just worry that the vibration is getting harder.. thanks guy...
