to me...i would take either 2.0 or hybrid. 1.8 is out. was considering at 1st but it lacks of some features...
1) no side mirror turning lights
2) No bluetooth audio and telephone hands-free
3) fabric seat
4) No side airbags
5) No smart entry and no push start button
6) no cruise control
but civic hybrid i dun like is the boot space....very small

yes....but dont the 1.8L also has reverse camera?

I think 1.8 no reverse camera, because initially the CBU Japan unit doesn't come with reverse camera and the bluetooth audio and telephone hands-free. It's when CBU Thailand unit only offer this 2 extra features, correct me if I'm wrong. Personally think that choosing Hybrid is better than taking the 1.8 as same torque power but lower FC plus a lot of extra features thumbup.gif

what are you looking for in a car?
problems,
-the regenerative brake isnt consistent and can get annoying after awhile.
-boot is too smalll
not really a problematic car la.
honda is reliable.
slap on a bodykit and youll have a sporty and sleek ride

Civic Hybrid and normal Civic 1.8/2.0 got different boot size? Civic Hybrid actually got smaller boot size?

Yes, HCH trunk size is slightly smaller than the normal Civic due to the battery cover that protrudes into the trunk space. However, I find it to be sufficient for a weekend-long vacation with family of 4 adults. May have a bit of a challenge travelling with small kids though..
*
In this case I suppose the rear seat are not foldable to expand the boot size due to part of the boot space had been blocked by the battery cover, no wonder there is hole on side of rear seat had been wondering all the time how the air cond can reach the battery haha

Exactly! You can't fold the rear seats for extra cargo space. Trip to IKEA would be a nuisance. My first thought of the vent was it is sure a weird place to put an aircond vent. Hehe..
*
Haha, instead the "aircond vent" is not blowing out but to let the air flowing in biggrin.gif Yeah it might now convenient for people do a lot of traveling with much luggage hmm.gif

QUOTE(regnox @ Oct 21 2013, 08:45 PM)
yea, because the battery is packed between the rear seat and the boot.
quite a compromise if you are looking for a practical compact sedan
*
Wondering how small it is rclxub.gif Even smaller than CR-Z boot?

QUOTE(SeniorCitizen @ Oct 21 2013, 09:35 PM)
Good to know your civic hybrid is reliable and problem free.

Now honda is giving 3k rebate. Other than this what other gifts or discount should I ask from the SA. Do you know the current best offer?

Thanks

Plus no more worry when replace the IMA battery as Honda already slash down on the Hybrid Battery price thumbup.gif

Both come from same Hybrid family, i think shud be not problem, but for sure it will effect a bit the FC. Btw, heard from my honda dealer, the new Hybrid come with reverse cam and bluetooth build in and handfree. Did any 1st batch HCH owner upgrade his HCH with those features?
*
Ya those batch without this 2 features is CBU Japan, after that when change to CBU Thailand only add this 2 features

I thought CR-Z that want is not DRL but just normal LED light that need to turn on? blink.gif
