luol_deng Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I think you are right to say that the butt is ugly. But it is not as bad as it looks. Anywayto me the looks is not that ugly but just presentable. What i go for is its performance and its amenities which is amazing on the inside. Is the Honda produced in the philippinesor imported<{POST_SNAPBACK}> i do like the interior styling though its simple yet effective unlike the disaster of the Ford Focus a few years ago...The Honda Civic is imported, coz the ones here in australia are imported just like the Mitsubishi Lancer, Mazda 3, Ford Fiesta, Toyota Corola etc etc Quote Link to comment
joveyb Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 New HOnda Civic will be launched in April but I do know that some customers because of theirrelationship with Honda Company get to have their car much earlier. Anyone has bought them or seethem on the road Quote Link to comment

From your description i guess the honda civic is already launchedin Australia. So the honda civic sports 2.0 has the same power as the present honda civic thati am driving right now. Just 4 days ago I took it for a ride in the countryside and completed a 500kmround trip. It is amazing. I love the exhiliaration. When a certain truck wants to make a go at me,i just hit the accelerator and I was surprised when I look at the speedometer, it has already reached 150kph. When the australian currency is around $1=42pesos. So it is around 1.3million pesos in australiafor a 2.0vtec. Good that it is still cheaper here in the philippines. I wonder whether they willincrease the price of the new honda civic. Yes the front of the honda civic looks good. but people are complaining about the back. anywayi go for the power and the internal amenitiies. In formula 1 Honda is going to be a force to be reckon with this 2006 Quote Link to comment

Definitely the honda 2.0 cannot be compared to the evo.It s a thoroughbred speed car. Everybody knows about the evo especially for speedcraze drive. I think a year back a saw it displayed at glorietta. Actually they saythat the last mitsubishi lancer model esp the evo III was good. Just the companyhas bad publicity and going thru financial difficulties so people were scared to buyone. But my salute to you for having the evo. Of course I would like to try the evo III.My friends has the Mitsushi Airtrak turbo charged. He told me when when they reached90 to 110 the car just become alive and ready to go.

Yea bro its really scary when you lift that thing from 1st to 3rd it just takes off the ground like a rocket, and he has included a blow off valve so basically after every gear shift you hear that hissing sound. Apart from that I have driven a Nissan R34 not GTR but GTS-T just like the Evo it really takes off. You should include a turbo in your Honda 2.0 V-TEC? haha i have seen plenty of Civics in Australia modified with a turbo. Quote Link to comment

ka dante Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Well, if there's a big demand for the SI, then most probably Honda Phils. will bring it on our shores. Sana... Anyway, the sedan still packs lots of horsepower (Honda says it got 148HP & consumes gas like a 1.5 liter). Certainly more than the other brands & even got more horses than some 2.0 liter models.
