stormrider Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 the new honda civic is a new global platform however that picture you have is the 3 door hatch which is only available in Europe only! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, that is a 5-door hatch. Quote Link to comment
stormrider Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Expect the "early adopter" type of buyer to grab these babies come April. Honda will most likely offer 1.8- and 2.0-liter versions. As for the 197-hp, 2-liter Si version, dream on. By end of the year, Honda will offer an Si in sedan format for the US market. Quote Link to comment

I cam only dream on for the 197 hp 2 liter Si to be in the Phils Quote Link to comment
luol_deng Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Actually, that is a 5-door hatch.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> actually it is a 3 door hatch/coupe, notice only 1 door per side and a opening boot... 5 doors would make it 2 doors per side & a opening boot Quote Link to comment

No doubt about it. It looks great. Why some countries can have the better car and we phils cannot. Quote Link to comment

Why some countries can have the better car and we phils cannot.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> its depends on the company if they want to further do some research and investing into making cars fit for Philippines emission / vehicle regulations (if there is one hehe). Its the same as Australia we dont get much left handed cars from America say for example the Mitsubishi Eclipse. Because it would cost Mitsubishi an enormous amounts of funds to get the vehicle converted to a right hand drive and also the costs for the car to meet the required emission regulations we have which is Euro3 i think (the highest, however dont quote!) Not also that some parts of the Eclipse would then need to be replaced as well so it can meet safety regulations, for example the Mitsubishi Evo Tommi Edition cost a cool $90,000 than to the Evo IX $56,000 why because the Tommi Edition had certain parts that didnt not meet safety regulations and would not survive under Australian conditions so new parts had to be installed or be replaced , which ran costs (not also that it was a special edition) but the IX why cheaper than the other Evos to ever came to Australia was because the parts were already researched and tested local so lower costs before any of them were imported to Australia.

thirteen Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 The euro-spec civic is a 5-door hatch. The rear doors have "hidden" door handles found on the rear windows. The possibility of the a new SIR being sold here will depend on how well the new civic sells. Quote Link to comment

jaydraven Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I picked up my 2006 Civic LX the day it came out in Cali last September. So far I love it. The 1.8L has 140HP, 40 miles per gallon. It's great car for normal driving. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

joveyb Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 It came out in CNN. According to America's Consumers top pick. The top ten cars were chosen but none of them were american cars and Honda Civic came in top Quote Link to comment
joveyb Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I really love the 2006 honda civic coupe. Yes I can only dream on for it to be in the Philippines. It looks like a sports car Quote Link to comment
airchicken Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 the new civic si will be packing a 200hp engine. abroad, they have a corolla xr producing 180hp >>> same engine as the lotus elise. the upcoming mazdaspeed3 will have a blown 220hp engine. but those are still not in the same league as the evo.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>ilang hp ba pino-produce ng evo? i heard the impreza can produce 350hp e.what about the evo (past or present)?

milhouse83 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) ilang hp ba pino-produce ng evo? i heard the impreza can produce 350hp e.what about the evo (past or present)?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> the current evo comes in three trim levels; the RS, IX, and the MR. all of which share the same engine (286bhp ; 289 ft.lb torque; 2liter). differences lie in the suspension, brakes, transmission, extra kit here and there..etc. a subaru sti meanwhile has a 300bhp engine (300 ft.lb torque, 2.5 liter). but it doesn't necessarily mean an sti will go faster than an evo. choosing between an evo and an sti is like choosing between natalie portman and charlize theron. you just can't decide! you can't go wrong with either two. there is a special evo though called the FQ400, only being sold in the UK. it's got the same 2 liter engine but this time giving out 405bhp! 0-60 in 3.5 secs! (quickest 4 door saloon in the world; quicker than a lamborghini murcielago). what mitsubishi doesn't tell everyone is that you have to send it to the shop every 5,000 miles Edited March 6, 2006 by milhouse83 Quote Link to comment
joshiasi Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 i plan to buy the evo 9 here sa states..... its not that expensive here... around 30k-40k lang.... di nga rin masyado sikat ang evo dito eh... what i like about evo is madaling macustomize sya Quote Link to comment
AmpOwtah Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 You can't compare Toyota Corollas and Honda Civics to Lancer Evolutions because you are comparing common sedans to special cars. And besides, it's comparing daily driven NA Engines to Tuned Turbo Engines. Quote Link to comment
cinnzeo Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 sorry mga bro, medyo out of the topic pero does any one where i can get my plate number etched onto my car's side mirrors? any info will be very much appreciated. thanks Quote Link to comment

kanski Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 ^^^Don't buy the mag anymore if you'll do so only to see how the new Civic looks like. Just drive on in to your nearest Honda dealer bec. apparently, it's out already. Just saw streamers in the village that they are offering a unit for test drive today and Sun. Honda fanatics, this is your cue... Quote Link to comment
