If you look at the tested times in the Table above, you would notice that the Honda Civic 2.0 is slower than the Toyota Altis 2.0 for 0-100km/h, but if 80-120km/h, the Honda Civic 2.0 is faster than Toyota Altis 2.0.

So to your question which is more powerful, it depends on what speed you are looking at. If acceleration from standstill, the Altis is more powerful. If accelerating from mid-speed, the Civic is more powerful.

Top speed, no comment, but usually top speed is overrated. Effortless acceleration at any given speed is more useful to gauge the performance or power of any vehicle.

Steady hands that guy got there. If the 1.8 can achieve 207km/h, I suppose the 2.0 would be able to hit up to 212-215km/h.

Sorry, what is 4B11? Civic 1.8?

You did 215km/h all the way until Senawang toll? Salute you in that you can maintain 215km/h for so long. The fastest speed I've recorded was about 210km/h, and that was for about 2 to 3 seconds before I went down to 180km/h(suddenly 180km/h feels slow). Didn't go for higher top speed on the Ford Focus as the main focus for me is to breach 200km/h, that's it.

For cars with low horsepower, they will need more time to reach top speed and hence a longer stretch of road. For cars with higher horsepower, cars with more powerful engines, it would be easy as acceleration from 160km/h to >200km/h would be quicker.

You young cikus. Police won't see your license. They will send saman to your house address.

Ok thanks. So the 4B11 engine is actually the engine in the Proton Inspira and Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0. Yes, I own the Ford Focus. As for 0-100km/h acceleration times, you may refer to the Table in page 1 of this thread. The Thais have tested the Civic 2.0, Lancer 2.0 and Focus 2.0. They did 5 runs of 0-100km/h and took the average out of the 5 to get the time for the 0-100km/h dash. The Focus came out the fastest, followed by Civic and then the Lancer.

What is the difference between Civic FD2 and Civic FB 2.0?

1.6-litre engines, the top speed from manufacturer is usually below 200km/h. Usually indicated as 195km/h thereabouts but in real life may squeeze another 5+/- km/h.

As for Civic 2.0, horsepower is 155PS.

Is this 1.8-litre car yours? Quite amazing it can reach 219km/h, and your claim that the speed can go up to 230km/h at night time.

Is it modified?

Even though it's in manual transmission, the 1.8-litre engine is the limitation.

You just resurrected an old thread.

You can google and find out. From reviews and Youtube videos, the top speed of the Mazda 3 2.0 is 209km/h.

Though I would reiterate in my post made last year in that top speed is overrated. When the car is struggling to accelerate at a certain speed, taking a considerably long time to say go from 190km/h to 200km/h+, it makes little sense to keep pushing the car to achieve top speed.

That Mazda 3 in the video is a different model than the Malaysian one. The transmission is not Automatic but Manual transmission.

Check out the review of the unit here.
