The 2013 Honda Civic has certainly one of the most prominent models in the compact class at the start. Its futuristic design is paired here with generous interior space and dynamic handling.
Since spring 2013 there is the compact Japanese now with a completely new 1.6-liter diesel engine, which will combine lively handling and fuel economy.
Also on board are, among other things besides ABS, ESP and six airbags already Xenon headlights, a beam assist including beam, a rain sensor, a 2-zone climate control, cruise control, digital radio, a sound system with 360 watts total output and subwoofer A heated front seats, an auto-dimming interior mirror, electrically adjustable, heated and foldable side mirrors, a front armrest, electric windows, reversing camera, parking sensors front and rear, central locking with remote control and much more.
The Civic interior provides absolute premium quality. The materials used look a very high quality, and the workmanship is located at a premium level. Although the dashboard is also designed futuristic, so you find your way quickly.
Only the digital speedometer is not easy to read from any seated position and is partially obscured by the steering wheel rim. That the intensity of the air stream of the center air vents are not adjustable, is another shortcoming. These two things remain true, the only criticisms in the interior, the rest can convince the entire length.
The seats are very comfortable and long-distance driving and, despite the dynamic shape of the Civic offers an excellent space.
The boot capacity is 467 liters capacity at all for an unbeatable car of this size. By folding the rear seats can be extended to up to 1,368 liters of it even.
Here Honda has really done a great job and managed to combine dynamic lines with a good space, which is self-premium manufacturers such as Mercedes did not succeed with the A-Class.
That the Civic as dynamic drives, as he looks to make the new 1.6-liter common rail diesel engine with an output of 120 hp (88 kW). Honda promises in the new "Earth Dreams Technology" engine with low fuel consumption yet dynamic driving values. A promise that we very often hear that but then often either the consumption or loss of driving pleasure requires in practice.
Immediately after the start one falls on the good sound insulation that also positively reflected on our mind at highway speeds. Even at high speeds, it stays in the interior of the Civic very quietly, making the premium feel is underlined again in the compact Honda.
Here, the Civic also really fun to drive. Its maximum torque of 300 Nm the engine delivers at 2,000 r / min, but already including the Diesel offers enough power for a brisk sprint. In 10.5 seconds from standstill to 100 km / h top speed is 210 km / h
The gears of the 6-speed manual gearbox are translated surprisingly long, which one is on the highway at a very low level of speed on the road and can drive very gearshift in the city. All times anticipate not just basic data, which suggest a low consumption.
The crisp, yet very comfortable suspension can enjoy the fun of driving a still more. The Civic is perfect on the road and can also accelerate out of curves still afloat, without the driver having to turn back. The very direct steering also fits well with the characteristics of the Civic, the sporty as can be circularly Articles on tight curves.
But most impressed with the view of the consumption. Well, as promised by the factory and extremely optimistic 3.7 liters we have not met, but the experience with a lot of fun 4.7 liter can all be proud.
After all, the Civic offers at such low consumption yet extremely fun to drive and is not trimmed to enjoy freedom in favor of a minimum consumption. Who waives the driving pleasure and the Civic always absolute in his "comfort zone" moves that could come to the 4.0 liters approach.
It was surprising for us that the Civic is still very clear in spite of his futuristic designs. The small flaws when parking then conceal the parking sensors and reversing camera.
With the Honda Civic 1.6 i-DTEC is definitely a big surprise succeeded. Especially since Honda is only relatively recently employed in comparison to other manufacturers with diesel engines, but then immediately presents such a miracle engine. The new diesel engine can shine with a lot of fun and a sensational consumption. Here the customer has no restrictions on the agility to accept and yet extremely efficient way.
The good tuning of chassis and suspension makes a Civic in combination with the large boot volume also an ideal vehicle travel, which also still can shine with premium ambience and sound insulation.
