My two Civic Sense

<p>There are few cars which are powerful not just on paper but also on the road. And there are extremely few cars in India which are truly safe with 5 star NCAAP rating. Civic is one such D Segment car. With class leading wheelbase it's not just powerful but also quite stable at high speeds. You hardly sense motion even at 100Kmph.</p> <p>I have revved it upto 100kmph in 2nd gear (not recommended though). 0-100 kmph timing is 9 to 10 secs. Top speed is electronically limited between 190-200kmph in Indian Civic. Interiors are great and that digital blue speedometer on top of the dash makes it look futuristic and frankly even higher segment cars pale in comparison vis-a-vis the interior appeal. Exteriorwise the Honda Civic is a stunner. In comparison Cruze is no less either. Civic trumps over Cruze because of two reasons- First GM is moving out of India and Cruze is troublesome with many nagging issues. Plus its a diesel.</p> <p>Hondas are more reliable anyday. Second - Not as spacious as the Civic. But, you wont feel the rocket like torque of Cruze in Civic. Ofcourse it has to do with fuel type. Cruze is marginally faster. Altis- Only downside vis-a-vis Civic is that it suits older folks. Civic is sportier and truly a stunner. However Altis is more reliable than Civic. Now lets get a little taste of reality in Indian conditions-</p> <p>1) Low mileage - 10 City. 12-14 Highway.</p> <p>2) Low Ground Clearance. Large wheelbase (larger than Cruze) and soft suspension ensures that you scrape the belly every now and then.</p> <p>3) Power steering oil leakage- Common issue with Civic post 100k kms.</p> <p>4) Lot of gear shifts if your model doesn't have Cruise control. Still its much more drivable in City as compared to Cruze. Civic has been discontinued but will soon hit the Indian roads again. There is another D segment car which has been discontinued just like the Civic. It beats all the cars in its segment hands down in performance. Its the Skoda Laura. If you are a driving enthusiast, Laura is your car. But make sure you have a car workshop nearby. Sarcasm not intended.</p>NANA
