Honda Civic FD Body [ARCHIVED]

[parakitoJDM]

parakito jdm...he2 pala cel no ko..13510893443 or 13048966743....malapit n may holiday...uwi k ba?

Just got bak fm. Pinas after a 5day vacation. So yes i finally got to testdrive the 8th. Gen Civic sa the Fort last Sunday. i even met MBT, we even took turns testdriving a Hyundai .... he he he. Anyway after a brief test drive of the 1.8V (non ABS )model. i think Honda has hit it quite nicely with this variant. and as already mentioned in other threads it undercuts the other 1.6li model in the market like Mazda 3 and even a 1.6li Altis. so its expected to sell quite well. Get the model with the Sun-Roof variant even though its priced above P1M when converted, at least u get the option of bringing it home (tax-free if i may add). and if u really want a face-lift for her u can swap the headlights and the bumper for a much prettier fascia. U can leave the rear un-touched for that strange JDM-USDM hybrid look.

anyway as per my driving impressions, aside fm. not being able to shift on my own (which i really dislike) the chassis was quite responsive to the steering input and made the car quite sporty. for the interior space, the flat rear floor is more comfortable for middle passengers but i'm surprised its not that roomy for my stature. i was expecting it should be compared to the MZ3. Now for the color difference, yes i believe only China has quite a unique Rallye Red. Other countries get Habanero Red.... for what its worth its redness won't feel out of place alongside bright fiery red Ferrari :D

Like the new RAV, you have to pick colours... Silver on this car just makes it look really bland... saw a couple last week na silver, grabe parang City talaga.

city drive medyo malakas ata sa consumption. kakafull tank ko lang last wk, half nalang ngayon. siguro nasa 200 km na yun. Ewan lang ha, baka nasanay lang ako sa mabagal na pagbaba ng fuel gauge ng pajero. Basta bumaba kase ang fuel bar ng civic, nagsasabi sabi na ko.-ladyhollow

How big is the fuel tank of the FD?

Get a full tank from your most often dispenser from your often filled upped gas station. Note the time (optional) (Use the first click of the auto stop of the dispenser)

Set your trip meter to zero.

Drive around normally, take note how often you are on either SLEX, NLEX or Coastal etc... (this will approx make up your Highway count)

After 100km or more (the larger the distance covered the better).

If you noted the time, go back to the same gasoline station, same pump, same time (optional). Then fill up to the first click again. (note now how much fuel you put in).

Then divide the reading on your trip meter with that number.

voila.
