Onyx60 Neutral Newbie December 23, 2003 Share December 23, 2003 Hi Anyone test drove or seen the new honda civic vti 1.6 facelifted? looks damn fierce from the front.... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulcrum Clutched December 23, 2003 Share December 23, 2003 all the same.. its cool but dull as ditchwater.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtim 3rd Gear December 23, 2003 Share December 23, 2003 that's why I ditch mine for a Focus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normal_aspirated Clutched December 23, 2003 Share December 23, 2003 (edited) Not as fierce as M6, mah. SOHC engine also and no more VTEC? Like a lion or tiger de-badged or de-toothed...... Edited December 23, 2003 by Normal_aspirated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulcrum Clutched December 23, 2003 Share December 23, 2003 i think the focus has less power but better cornering and more sex appeal.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulcrum Clutched December 23, 2003 Share December 23, 2003 yeah.. that certainly isn't Honda's right way to fight the Altis.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulcrum Clutched December 23, 2003 Share December 23, 2003 it still has VTEC.. but reduced to 109 HP on the 1.6 engine.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normal_aspirated Clutched December 23, 2003 Share December 23, 2003 U mean for Sg market? I missed the SIR, my dream car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtim 3rd Gear December 23, 2003 Share December 23, 2003 yup, the Focus is really underpower but handles much better than the Civic which suits my driving style but I love the VTEC, even it's SOHC & 115BHP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yansen Neutral Newbie December 23, 2003 Share December 23, 2003 haha de antenna on top cannot make it lehz but looks gd frm the front.. wonder hows the performance though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Clutched December 23, 2003 Share December 23, 2003 Nice ! But I still prefer the looks of the 2003 version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx60 Neutral Newbie December 24, 2003 Author Share December 24, 2003 the performance is not bad for a 1.6....engine very smooth for a sohc...but if u wanna feel more kick..have to go with a manual tranny... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx60 Neutral Newbie December 24, 2003 Author Share December 24, 2003 frankly i think honda makes the best SOHC engine in the industry...its smooth..smoother than most DOHC engines in fact... i juz test drove the car...havent really turned on the VTEC but its quite eager to go n handling is not too bad... but for $11k more...1.7L is not worth the extra money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx60 Neutral Newbie December 24, 2003 Author Share December 24, 2003 yeah its for the SG market 2004 model....minus the top antenna of coz... no more SIR coz i think its not cost effective...KM will have to sell it for abt 125K like the PIs..which will clash with their Accord range...so no segment for it...

Onyx60 Neutral Newbie December 24, 2003 Author Share December 24, 2003 i think the model that looks good is only the RS one with body kits...but the new 2004 really looks quite fierce in real life...esp the front lights...the interior has also improved with nicer sportier seats with leather....

Onyx60 Neutral Newbie December 24, 2003 Author Share December 24, 2003 even though its in the 1.6L bracket...i think the Civic caters to a different crowd as the Altis... Corolla Altis has always been a 'family' car...conservative and comfortable whereas the Civic caters for the younger crowd towards performance and more spirited driving...so depending on wats ur needs...the choice is clear... moreover...now the Altis are Thai made...Civics are still from the land of the rising sun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accenture Neutral Newbie December 24, 2003 Share December 24, 2003 looks ok onli leh... but the engine lost alot of power compared to the old screamers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
En0203 2nd Gear December 24, 2003 Share December 24, 2003 don't like civic's look anymore ever since ES series ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
