Full Review

Bought this Honda Civic (1.8 E MT) and was disappointed (poor and deliberately false information given by authorized dealer Ace Honda in Noida).  What is worse is that Honda has given a heavy, bulky Owner's manual of 376 pages out of which 70% of the pages are devoted to left-hand drive countries (Europe, etc.).  India is right-hand drive country and the information available is sketchy, confusing, chaotic.  Was this car rejected by Europe and dumped into the Indian market??? Perhaps, Yes and Honda didn't even bother to update the information that is relevant to India.

P.S.R.

skoda is the worst option if you are planning to buy it,you will really regret bcoz of its high maintenance.my octavia ac stopped functioning after 3years and skoda people are demanding 40k for its repairing.plus after the free services there will be a big hole in your pocket for there service charges.as just the oil change will be for 3500 plus taxes

i agree with the fact tat quality is an issue i bought a honda accord v6 after just 1 week the fuel gauge metre stopped working. Plus skoda is providing a far superior qaulity as compared to a honda, now i am buying skoda v6 only issuse is servicing ut i am ready to make the compromise due to the awesome power the vehcle has

buy an indian made car just like tata or mahindra then u will find the manual towards the right..... people who are not bother abt money they won a HONDA It is the best car in its seg. In thailand every second car is a civic..... pls go through.....

Labour cost in Honda service station is nearly 7 to 10 times of that available in Sector 16, Noida or other place in Delhi. Now, that labour is neither imported nor there is import duty on labour. Why labour cost can't be competitive or reasonable???

the only thing I felt that was wrong about the civic was its ground clearance when it comes to Indian roads... rest all is fine.. I am planning to buy one soon.. and the only thing am researching on is the cost of maintenance. the more complex a vehicle, the more maintenance it requires... in India foreign brands are expensive due to the import duty on parts, that's why Maruti sells....
