It might be the best CVT in the market, no doubt.
But I still prefer a conventional auto to a CVT.
That's what I meant.

Civic in Thailand

Looks like it's coming. If I read correctly, there is support for Apple CarPlay, remote startup. I wonder got paddle shifter..

Anyway, take note in US, the 10th Gen Civic got recall and stop selling. This affects 2.0 NA only.

Would honda price its 1.8L at 112K like current generation?

Well the new Civic 1.5 Turbo has been tested by Thailand's headlight magazine.

The figures are not doubt the best we've seen among all Japanese/Korean cars that is available in the local market. But still falls short of rivaling its continental opponents.

0 - 100km/hr: 9.11s
80 - 120km/hr: 6.77s

Sauce!

looking nicer than older gen. i see rs version.

I was surprised to see the Civic being out performed in straight line action by its rival Nissan and by a Slyphy on top of that!

The slyphy turbo does 0 - 100km/hr in 8.3s which puts it squarely in Jetta performance category.

But the Slyphy looks really .... boring ... to put it nicely.

where u see it?

Sauce!

ok but still it wouldnt matter because we cant race it on street and we wont race it.

unfortunately can't get sylphy turbo here
btw, i believe the civic focus more on bigger space/more features and better fuel economy (hence the cvt) by utilizing the engine torque, while performance goes to type r.

a ~1-2s faster car (1 or 2 car length ahead) may not be really matter in real life...

If it got paddle shift, then a different story..

Headlightmag is a joke, if you see how they do the testing you'll laugh.

Much better review, done with proper instruments.

The new civic is actually fast.

I read the article and really, there is no way this new civic can do 0 - 100 in 6.8s. Even the Fiesta ST, which by the way has more power and torque (and is about the same weight as the civic) does 0 to 100 in 6.7s. That 9s+ mark for the new Civic sounds about right to me.

It depends on how they tune on the car since torque power is good, but personal feeling it wouldnt be 6sec+, 9 secs is really sound reasonable but yet, it doesnt really impress on the speed, just acceptable.

No way? Why living in denial. Plenty of youtube videos showing it can do 7s.



Edit: Btw, the Fiesta ST (manual) has poor 0-100 is because of gearing issue. Need 3rd gear to reach 100kph, needing 2 shifts to get to 100 slows it down.

lol normal sedan, u guys comparing 0-100

Denial? No but until I see a video that measures the car's 0-100 on a device such as the Aim Sports Solo GPS lap timer, or see an actual readout that confirms that number from an Ultragauge, I would reserve judgement.

Don't see you reserving 'judgement' when posting the above . Sorry but when it's an instrumented test done by a reputable car magazine/website(that's been around since the 70s), their words tend to carry more weight than some random dude on the internet. If you don't think the civic can do 7s then it's up to you to prove them wrong.

I show you why headlightmag is a joke. Fast forward to 0:12 and then we play a game called "Spot what is wrong with this video.".
