Cook my sock Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) http://www.autoblog.com/2016/02/22/2016-honda-civic-coupe-first-drive-review-video/ Is this coming to Thailand? Looks bloody nice. Glad the dash isn't that double height monstrosity. It's essentially a two door version of the sedan with a coupe body. Same wheelbase but a few inches chopped off at the rear. Interior architecture is almost a carbon copy. You lose two doors, rear headroom and bootspace, but gain a very good looking car IMO.

Tywais Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 A topic going into some detail on the 2016 civic - New Honda civic not getting the 1.5 Turbo engine in Thailand.. Surely not? BTW, I love the double decker. My previous car had a HUD (heads up display) that digitally displayed the speed on the windscreen reducing significantly your need to shift focus into the cockpit then back out on the road. One of the reasons I got the Civic, among others, is it is a good safety feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cook my sock Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Yup Honda civics are pretty safe..

bearpolar Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Tywas, may i know why you need to see your speed here? There's no speed limits.. just traffic flow damn nice interior, really like the shifter. Wish they had used that one for the HRV.. Civic interior made with less plastic would of been great.

Cook my sock Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 I guess we'll see some of these features in the HRV update late next year. The civic info screen is so much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civic interior made with less plastic would of been great. his say not about speed his say about accelaration. So of drive npt only Bangkok-Pattay. Its can be for safty reason and keep your time. When drive with one line road or even 2 line. In evning drive its can much more less time in long dinstantion. For exanple bangkok- Chiang Mai its can be difference one and more hour car less 8 sec and car up 10 sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook my sock Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) So the 1.5turbo version will sell for 1.1m. Not sure if that's RS spec or not. Paddle shift and 173 HP, 220lbs torque. Shd be good for 0-100 kph around 7 secs! Launches on 11th March Edited March 3, 2016 by Cook my sock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 1.1 would be nice, but I reckon it will push 1.2 for the top model. It has paddle shifters? I don't see them in any photo or video. The overseas model is doing that acceleration time, but when it was unofficially tested here it was 9-10 seconds. A bit of a let down if that is an accurate estimate. I'm sure if will be tested within a month or two by headlightmag.com. We will have some better times then. Edited March 4, 2016 by DavisH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook my sock Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 There's a mention of paddle shifters in a couple of Thai sites so I'm guessing it comes with little shifters like the HRV Pretty sure the 1.5 T engine is same spec as other markets, 6.8 secs to 60mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jitar Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Btw bit gutted .. The RS looks like an absolute bargain and I'm picking the HRV up on Thursday Look on the bright side and don't get conned by the all new model spin. The Mazda 3 is better looking, no turbo lag and only 10hp less, The Nissan Sylphy Turbo is more powerful and only slightly more boring to look at, judging by the pics. You decided to go for the HR-V in preference to these, presumably you wanted a small cross over and not a sedan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
