kahit medyo luma na, I still want an SiR.

I'll keep the P6Z as spare, tapos put in a B18C5.

6th gen honda civic SIR

- the greatest honda civic ever

- the last honda civic with front double wishbone suspension

- 1.6 liter engine, 160 hp, up to now still unrivaled by new models

Watch out for Honda's hybrid car:

I just read that even the Accord had abandoned the front double wishbone suspension.

This is the suspension that makes Honda great during the late 80's when it was used in the 4th gen Civic.

It works extremely well on imperfect roads like ours.

MacPherson struts works well only on perfect roads & racetracks, and are best used on light cars or cars with rear mounted or midmounted engines.

Following the death of Mr. Honda, the engineers forgot their roots, and Honda starts going downhill.

Honda's days are over . . .

Ok ba un honda civic 1.8 E model. Planning to buy. Ano ba un ECON botton. Totoo ba na 10-11km/liter ang fuel consumption. Ang sabi sa akin magastos daw honda sa gas, dont know etong latest model

ECON - for improved fuel economy

Since you are after fuel economy, maybe you would like to take a look at the Jazz. Right now, Jazz is the model that kept Honda running. Without Jazz, Honda is finished.

[S14]

yup get the jazz instead plus cheaper to maintain n higher resale value than the civic

It would help if you ask former Honda Civic 1.8 owners who got rid of their units.

Sold my FD months ago, I think same R18A engine pa din yata yung nasa FB Civics ngayon (correct me if I'm wrong nalang haha!).

Kaya ko siya kinuha kasi kala ko umaabot ng 8-9 km/l ang city driving.

Pilit na pilit pa yung 7km/l. 5AT yung akin.

On long distance drives, hanggang 10km/l lang. Not what I was expecting.

Just had the defective instrument panel of my 2008 Honda CRV replaced. Cost P65,000. Took 2 weeks to import from Thailand. My odometer is now back to 000010 km.

 

Buti pa kung nabanga ko nalang yung sasakyan. At least covered siya ng insurance.

[johnlove]

Honda Civics used to bring excitement to their drivers.

That is, until they replaced the front double wishbone suspension with a MacPherson strut.

MacPherson strut works best only on small displacement engines (ideally up to 1.5L) and cars with mid-engine or rear-engine layout(ie Porsche 911) and when run on smooth well-paved roads.

This is also why more drivers prefer the Jazz to the Civic.

 

And now, Honda just replaced the front double wishbone suspension on the Accord with a MacPherson strut . . .

seriously contemplating letting my Subaru go for the new CR-Z. looks very fun to drive.

[johnlove]

It's good Honda introduce the cr-z into the Philippine market.

Looks fast, I wonder how is the acceleration when the batteries is in full charged vs drained.

The Sport+ button got me very curious. Agent says it offers around 10 seconds of 'boost', giving you power comparable to those of 3.0 liter V6 engines...

Visited a dealer weeks ago, fell in love with the Energetic Yellow color. Reminded me of Sunburst Yellow SiRs.

So after 10 seconds of happiness, you have to pump the brakes to charge up the batteries, right?

Yup! You can also charge the batteries by revving 3k-4k while on neutral.

Not so fast, thanks to our lack of nuclear power, our electricity cost about 200% more than the others.

Honda accord lover here, i owned a 1997 VTiS manual, & a 2004 accord auto trans. Both car consumes gasoline about 4.5 km per liter.

Normal lang ba ito, guys?

civic hatchback astig

[GoldTooth]

GenMcBob - it must be considering that you drive an Accord. I admire Accords as well, but economically speaking, maintaining them can be too pricey.
