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.
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.
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.

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.".
