The new Civic is the jap model and not the Euro version... I've actually got the specs list from KM...Originally posted by CiVic@13:There're quite a number of models that can be found on the net. Seems that there are models of differing front n rear lights, i.e lights that look like Odyssey's n Integra are of different models. Heard that there's the european n jap models..
Also, there are contradictions in KM's specs when compared to the specs obtained thru the link of honda.com.sg
Anyone else here who has made a booking for the new Civic can help?![]()
i've been to the "coming soon" link from the honda webby. i was juz confused abt the models indicated as 1.8GL, 1.8G, 1.8S, MX etc. coz i;m not sure which is actually the 1.8 sedan 5AT vti-s.Originally posted by w2k_83:The new Civic is the jap model and not the Euro version...

If i never rem wrongly, the new civic does not come with manual-override... I tink the ones u saw are overseas specs... SG only has 2 versions of the 1.8l sedan, VTI and VTI-S. Both are the same except for the cosmetic differences, juz like Mazda 3 sport and Latio sport... The same goes for the 2.0l modelOriginally posted by CiVic@13:i've been to the "coming soon" link from the honda webby. i was juz confused abt the models indicated as 1.8GL, 1.8G, 1.8S, MX etc. coz i;m not sure which is actually the 1.8 sedan 5AT vti-s.
btw, there's the "tiptronic" manual gear changing in this new auto civic. what's the name of tis function honda's calling? coz so far i tink i haven't come across tis in its specs.
Really ah?Originally posted by PLC guy:New civic wheelbase is 2700, it it too long for some multi-stoery car park sharp bend.
i was doubtful too, until i checked the overide function with KM's agent. There truely is tiptronic in the vti-s. Anybody can re-cnfm this?Originally posted by w2k_83:If i never rem wrongly, the new civic does not come with manual-override... I tink the ones u saw are overseas specs...

well i've been thru some other opinions. seems tat the jap version wif lights similar to the integra is more appealing. the euro version's not bad, juz a little dull though.[/img]Originally posted by nightsky87:My god.
The Civic 1.8GL.... abit CMI in terms of looks.. Totally spoil the Civic lineage..
And why cant they bring in the nicer looking US version? I mean, just look at the huge-assed Accords that KM brings.. compared to the uber cool Accord Euro-R.. And they've just done it again with the Civic.
Haha.. I am a civic fan too, like you, but please don't take any offense k.. Never meant any...Originally posted by CiVic@13:well i've been thru some other opinions. seems tat the jap version wif lights similar to the integra is more appealing. the euro version's not bad, juz a little dull though.[/img]
Wheelbase is different from the length of the car... The length of a car can remain the same but yet the wheelbase expands... Wheelbase is actually the distance between the front and rear wheels, so the car length can remain the same but the length of the engine bay or boot can shorten to allow the wheelbase to expand... Hence the wheelbase of the new civic may be long but the length of the car isnt...Originally posted by PLC guy:New civic wheelbase is 2700, it it too long for some multi-stoery car park sharp bend.
Haha yep.. But i think spoiler is really part of a Civic. I asked around and a lot of people agree that the SIR, Vti, etcs really do look nicer with a spoiler. The current Vti facelift looks nice with the standard spoiler, because it really 'clicks' with the car..Originally posted by CiVic@13:nah.. no offense taken nightsky. btw, i don't like tat spoiler too.. but i'm not sure if it comes with it. coz i tink it's a buy-separately accessory.
we'll see how it goes... anyway i made a booking for tis civic already, shld be able to get it in feb. wish me luck in tis new car, n for buying it without even seeing it!Originally posted by nightsky87:Haha yep..

Well, I guess let's wait for the new Civic to hit KM showroom. Wanna go test out the new Civic together?![]()
LOL!Originally posted by CiVic@13:we'll see how it goes... anyway i made a booking for tis civic already, shld be able to get it in feb. wish me luck in tis new car, n for buying it without even seeing it!
i tink if u're waiting til next yr, mabbe u can consider the new 2006 nissan sunny. i've seen some pics n it looks like a mini cefiro, bigger, with a better engine compared to the current sunny.Originally posted by nightsky87:LOL!
I think I shall stay safe abit.. Wait for second or third batch to arrive then buy. But the new civic really looks.. unique. Think I'll go for the Altis or Camry 2.0 liao![]()
