I'd use up 2 discs per pad change. My bad. Manual in both, so you can only blame my gearshifting ; I'm pretty sure a sunroof isn't standard in the VTi-L, even if it was that wouldn't be enough to sway me, although it would explain more of the 3. Maybe in the manual it's not so bad As for VTi-L, the Climate Control is quite nice to use; but I have to admit the Civic VTi's standard air cond is pretty decent because it's got nice buttons electrical air conditioning?
That being said, I still love my climate control! It's darn convenient. And there's no sunroof. VTi ordered! Go VTI! Just cos you don't have a Sport :p lol. Don't worry dude its worth the wait. That's a good point, but the main reason I'm getting a new car is that my old one is falling apart around me, it's costing me more to keep on the road than buying a new one..
I ended up ordering the dark grey colour, delivery date for that was late September and my wife prefers the dark grey, happy wife, happy life. White is a good choice if you don't like washing your car, it shows less road grime and looks better when dirty. Black looks fantastic when perfectly clean but that's usually less than a week in normal conditions and 5 minutes as soon as it rains.
Somebody ordered it then pulled out, exactly the same as what I wanted. Its due in August, the dealer will let me know exact date in the next fortnight. Also white looks crap in the brouchure, but looks better in real life 3.
Might look plain to some people? I've seen another in chatty, but Easy decision for you, the purple is only available on the Sport model. While I am sure each person will differ in their preference to this technology — it goes down as a big no-no for me. While these prices may be slightly above its competitors — you need to consider just how much is included as standard and also, how much you are willing to pay for the elusive combination of looks and practicality! Are you a bit of a Honda fan?
For years, Honda languished behind in the hi-tech world of driver aids and cabin tech, but not anymore. News Ticker. About Chloe Fraser Articles.

And the headlights and foglights use very bright and long-lasting LEDs. It drops the tail spoiler but adds satellite navigation. The alloy wheels grow from inches to 20 and are stopped by stronger brakes with Brembo brake calipers and bigger, ventilated front brake discs.
The Type R an aerodynamic sports kit including a side skirts bold rear spoiler, and a distinctive triple rear exhaust pipe arrangement. Track orientated extras include G-force meter, lap-timing stopwatch and throttle position indicator. The lower-profile tyres on the Civic 1. The Type R loses one of the rear-seating positions and a few creature comforts such as in-built satellite navigation, speaker sound system and power-adjusted and heated front seats.
And the ride on the big inch wheels with low-profile tyres is considerably firmer. Of the exterior colours, only Rally Red is standard.
All other colours are extra-cost options. From the moment you open the solid-feeling doors, it is clear that Honda has engineered this car to look and feel nicer than most small cars in its price range. All materials are well chosen and fine to the touch. The ambience is very appealing. The Lane Watch camera that looks behind you down the left side of the vehicle when you use the left indicator may also save the life of a cyclist.
Brilliant stuff. But there are a few misgivings, beginning with a fiddly audio volume control that requires a deft and often distracting swipe action. The sedan's acutely coupe-like tapered roofline leaves a very narrow field of rear vision.
In the hatch, a high-mounted spoiler and rear wiper partially block your view through the back window And rather shockingly for a company with a reputation for sweet engines, the 1. This is easily avoided if you squeeze the throttle rather than stomping on it, but it is completely unexpected. Perhaps the booming engine is obvious because the rest of the Civic is so much quieter than its predecessor. Old noise paths from the suspension and tyres have been largely dealt with, thanks to a stronger body, extra sound deadening, and much better bushes and rubbers.
Even Honda admits it has priced and specified the more expensive Civics to woo medium-car customers. The Civic has six airbags as standard: front and side for the driver; the same for the front passenger; and head-level curtain airbags that protect all occupants against side impacts. Four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with the mandatory electronic stability control are standard, as are LED daytime running lights.
And every Civic has a reversing camera and rear parking sensors. Autonomous emergency braking is available but only on the 1.
It is lumped together with a suite of other active driver aids in a pack called Honda Sensing. They warn you of an impending collision typically with another car that has slowed suddenly , and will brake the car automatically if you do not react. Honda does not specify a speed range over which the auto-braking system works.
But the same sensors feed Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, which will match your speed to that of a slower vehicle ahead on the highway, returning to your set speed when your lane is clear. The first two monitor highway lane markings and warn you if you have begun distractedly to drift wide, applying a steering correction if necessary. The third is intended to reduce fatigue on long drives by helping you centre the car in its lane, again by adjusting the steering.
The sedans were rated in July , and the hatches in May Welcome to the most desirable range of Civics in two decades for someone who likes to drive. If you are familiar with the previous Civic, the Mk10 Sedan will come as a revelation, thanks to quick steering, a bump-absorbing and quiet suspension, and at last decent low-speed accelerator response in those cars with the 1. Actually, even the less costly 1. But the 1. This is a very quick car point-to-point.
The paddle shifters fitted to the 1. Progressively weighted yet engagingly responsive electric steering is a highlight, helped out by a fast rack 2. There is enough here to involve anybody. Press on a bit harder and the chassis gels quite enjoyably, offering fluent and predictable roadholding, whether on smooth bitumen or loose gravel. Finally, the MacPherson strut-style front and multi-link rear suspension set-ups work together superbly to soak up bumps, making for a comfy and refined ride.
That tinniness ever-present in Civics of old has been banished. The Civic hatch weighs slightly more than the sedan but on the road it feels very similar.
The Civic Type R takes driving enjoyment to all new levels. Throttle response is instant and its stability at speed is impressive and the big Brembo brakes bring it to a stop as quickly as it accelerates. The engine feels lethargic below rpm and ride quality in Comfort mode is bearable rather than brilliant, while Sport is only just tolerable. Except for relatively small rear door apertures and a low rear roofline that will snag tall people when getting in and out, life in the rear seats is fine.
