Civic 1.8V or Altis 1.6G?

[renzo_d10]

I've heard from my relative that he's getting 11-12 km/l pure city driving. I've confirmed my SA in Honda QA and they said that, that's the ave consumption of the Civic.

I think it's confirmed, the civic consumes fuel like a 1.6 but the power is like a 2.0 engine

I think that lead us to buying a 1.8S unit

Of course we have to watch out for what wasn't mentioned like he is getting 11-12 km/L city driving at 5:00am to 6:00am in his regular morning drive to the office.

I have a 2.0L car that would say otherwise about that "power" statement.

Hope you're enjoying your toy.

I know ghosthunter will disagree with me, but here it goes anyway. ;)

Actually, at cruising, fuel economy is similar to a 1.5L engine. I've already proven this going to Calamba through SLEX using the ScanGauge. My record FE was 17.9 Km/L (5.6 L/100Km). Quite high for a 1.8L engine.

And because of other technologies the engine incorporates, it has on-demand power delivery on par with 2.0L engines. Of course, since economy mode and performance mode are at different ends of the scale, it's important to understand that you shouldn't expect 1.5L fuel economy while still providing almost-2.0L performance.

To the uninitiated, please watch this video about the Honda 1.8L i-VTEC (R18) used on the 1.8 S & V Civics.

Sir may tanong po ako,since we are in the same situation,the catch is that based from the site(di pa po kami nakakapunta sa mga casa) of the two aforementioned eh the Altis has the ABS-EBD-BA unlike the Civic wala,kaso may nabalitaan ako na ang 1.8V ng Civic ay magkakaroon ng ABS is this true? Kasi sayang naman kung wala pa with a slightly lower price compare to the Civics eh mas marami ang laman ng Altis although sa loob eh mas gusto namin ang odo ng Civic kaya nga lang with higher price with less items to enjoy

It boils down to, is the digital speedo of the Civic worth it compared to the ABS,EBD,BA goodies of the Corolla?

Personally the digital speedo is more of a distraction than a driver's aid.

Meron ABS-EBD BA ang 1.8V wala lang airbags at foglamps.

Maybe so for the first 10 mins of owning the car. After that, you learn to ignore the numbers as it just remains in your peripheral vision... no more a distraction than a running windshield wiper. In fact, looking at the speedo does not take your eyes too far off the road for it to be a distraction, which is kinda the point of having it there, high up.

In the worst case scenario...

both vehicles have similar crash test ratings... front/side/rear.

even for the pedestrians unlucky enough to be thrown away by either car.

Meron na ABS + EBD on all Civic variants, kahit 1.8V.
