The Civic is one of the most important models of Honda. The ninth generation of the developed specifically for the European market Civic (the U.S. version is made up of very different design techniques) raises again a welcome change from the masses.
With its futuristic design was its previous win many new customers, the new generation has essentially retained the basic design, but high-quality and modern looks. Even when stationary, the Civic has an extremely dynamic, even though previously very civil engines for sporty-looking compact cars are available.
Honda civic with the best-ever gasoline engine, the 1.8-liter VTEC with 142 horsepower in the executive and automatic equipment.
Among other things, the Honda Civic has in Executive equipment already on VSA (ESP, Honda), ABS, six airbags, xenon headlights, leather upholstery, electrically adjustable lumbar support, heated seats, cruise control, a keyless entry & Go system, a premium sound system with 360 watts total power, a panoramic glass roof with electric sunblind, a parking assistant at front and rear, 17 "alloy wheels, electric windows front and rear and a 2-zone automatic climate control.
In addition, Honda Civic still had an HDD navigation system with 50GB hard drive with Bluetooth hands-free kit and 6.5 "touchscreen display, metallic paint and the Safety Package with CMBS (Collision Mitigation Brake System) and an adaptive cruise control.
As well as futuristic as the exterior appearance of the Honda Civic presents in its interior. Despite its unconventional design, which certainly brings fresh pep in the vehicle, the Civic is very clear, and all functions must be open by themselves, without having to move the description to rate.
The materials used look of much higher quality than its predecessor, and the processing has been very good. You feel instantly at ease and enjoys plenty of Civic luxury.
Despite the sporting body, the Civic provides plenty of room inside for passengers and luggage. The seats are very comfortable, but positioned a bit high. Especially tall front passengers would want a lower riding position here, because it is through the panoramic roof at a height a little cramped.
Not optimal, the center air vents have failed, unfortunately, too little adjustment for the air distribution and none of the intensity of the exiting air offer. Conciliatory agree then the numerous practical and an enormous boot capacity. With 467 liter capacity, the Civic is the top of its class. If desired, can be achieved by folding down the rear seats have a volume of 1342 liters.
A car that looks as sporty as the Honda Civic should not disappoint in the performance. The 1.8-liter i-VTEC engine has an output of 142 hp (104 kW), sufficient in combination with the automatic for a sprint from 0 to 100 km / h in 11.2 seconds. The top speed is 210 km / h
The maximum torque of 174 Nm achieved at 4,700 rpm, the motor / min. Nevertheless, the Civic has been a lot of power out of the bottom. It is not quite as tangy 2500-4000 rev / min on the road, where the engine does the work very slow. Especially when in ECO mode is traveling, you should change when accelerating out of this speed range, in any case in a low gear to the Civic back on their toes.
Who moves the compact Japanese at a high speed level experience, but a very lively and sporty car. Is one of the reasons for the sometimes meager power output, even the little the aging 5-speed automatic. These changes gear very smoothly indeed, but fully designed for fuel economy and a long translation provided, which takes away the power of the engine a bit.
Top marks there then in material handling, the 2013 Civic has a very balanced chassis, which offers plenty of headroom and allows for fast cornering speeds. Also the very direct steering like in this context.
