There's nothing to be excited regarding turbo charged cars. It will beat NA once they get to their efficency zone. Just enjoy it and don't start racing with VW or Ford. Just drive safe. There's no prize for winning.

True. I'm currently driving a Civic FD2 2.0. I'm not looking for a Type R, but something that sips less fuel (currently I'm averaging 10km/l city driving) and more powerful (+18hp and +22Nm) than my current car - of course it has more bells and whistles too.

With more torque on the low end, it will mean more power from standing start. I got no issues with CVT as I previously drove a Honda City VTEC 2006 - I don't need to feel the "turbo kick". Civic Turbo is a family sedan car. If you need a poweful race ready Civic, you should get a Honda Civic Type R.

If you say, need manual la, need normal autobox la, please get another car - this Civic Turbo is what I want, CVT and all.

Bro....nothing to be excited regarding turbo charged car?
Can you share what is excited for you ?
Wondering what cars you are using.
Cheers

1.5 turbo with cvt and only have 220nm of torque.
Nothing to brag about.

That figure already been in malaysia long long time ago.

For eg vw jetta 1.4 tsi 160ps and 240nm of torque + superfast dsg gearbox.
Last time vw offee 88k sudah dapat lol

Heck even 508 pugeuot 1.6 thp 165ps 240nm.
Thp engine sudah how long been here ?

Vw polo gti 1.4tsi 177hp 250nm , pair wirh dsg superfast gearbox

Nothing to brag about. For car ethuasist that play with 290-300hp above, golf r , subbies, those evos ,even proton wira with evo 3 engine, 172hp 220nm seem nothing.

Haha too late.

I already booked. I'm just deciding on the variant ..

Btw.

What's. Hydraulic rear suspension bushing and what does it do?

Of course this civic is not built to race but it's power hike is indeed a technological bonus.

The design language of this civic leans towards a more mature audience. Since civic fb, most ricers have gone to Mazda 3 and let's hope they stay there

If anything, the new Civic looks way more rice than the FB.



I think it is abundantly clear who Honda is aiming at with this design language, and it's not the mature buyers.

Agreed. This Civic's turbocharging is not about performance per se, but about efficiency. It's basically a 1.5L engine, but with 2.4L engine performance. It's not a VW Golf GTI, but rather a VW Golf TSI.

DSG gearbox? Yes it's fast, but not really reliable is it? You won't get asked how fast your car can go, but rather, how reliable is your gearbox?

Never had any problems with my City CVT last time, and neither did my friends. I guess the CVT had a bad rep from the olden days

Our tester was an EX-L NAV model with the 1.5-liter turbo engine that produces 174 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque (the Touring model with the same engine is pictured here). Currently, that engine is only available paired with a CVT, but Honda says the turbo model will soon get the six-speed manual as an option. That doesn’t mean buyers that choose the CVT will miss out on all the fun, however. As CVTs come, Honda’s is one of the most intelligent and un-CVT-like. The transmission makes the best use of the turbo engine’s broad powerband, allowing the car to pull throughout the rev range. Throttle response is good and has relatively low turbo lag in the lower rpms. The engine feels just as at home cruising on the highway as it does at wide-open throttle. For a non-performance variant, the Civic 1.5 turbo is decently quick. A 2016 Civic turbo recorded a 0-60 time of 7.2 seconds in our tests.

Don't shoot the messenger(s)!

Honestly more worried bout CKD quality and infotainment issues.

Then how about this official figure from Honda China...cropped from Paultan. Conflicting right...they tune higher to make US customer happier is it. 

"Only one engine is available for the Chinese-market Civic for now – the 1.5 litre VTEC Turbo unit which produces 174 hp from 6,000 rpm and 220 Nm from 1,700 rpm to 5,000 rpm and will go from 0-100 km/h in 8.6 seconds. As for transmissions, the Civic can be specified with a six-speed manual gearbox (the first market to pair a row-your-own transmission to the turbo mill) or a CVT."
