I am itching to upgrade from my 2015 civic to this one. With post 2015 models Honda really messed up with Civic's exterior design. Now it has stripped off those confusing elements and look cleaner (a little too simplistic though). Honda should have found a way to include Battery pack without compromising boot space.. thats a little disappointing. But critics apart, there is no other car than a civic in my wildest dream, as in last 7 years and 80000 kms, I have never visited a workshop other than for regular services.

@SOMEONE-ME Жыл бұрын
There is NO gearbox in this car at all. Electric motor drives wheels 90% of the time, then at 80-120km/h petrol engine drive wheels directly (no gears) as it's more efficient than going through electric motor. If you go faster then it switches back to electric motor. Petrol engine operates always at around 2K-3K rpm for efficiency generating power for electric motor and charging battery. If there is too much energy generated and battery is full, system turns petrol engine off and switches to pure EV mode. This can happen even at 100km/h. When battery gets discharged, petrol engine turns back on. All of it is done to maximise efficiency. It's probably more efficient system than Toyota's, specially on motorways. Whole system is based on fact that petrol engine operates in its most efficient region, which in normal petrol car is hardly every the case. Battery then stores energy surplus for low speed driving and for cases when peak power is needed (overtaking etc.). It sounds complex but at the end it's simple system, which should be on pair (maybe even better) with reliability compared to Toyota (no gearbox, petrol engine operates in optimal conditions and hardly ever is stressed).

If you drive high mileages on the open road then buy a Focus or 308, have more fun and save money but if you wish to spend thirty odd thousand then go to an Audi, BMW or Mercedes dealership. Can’t see what buyer requirements ever lead to someone buying this new Civic. It’s not even for Civic fans as the cheapest model is far more expensive than the range topping current model.
