The WORST Honda Civic Ever!!!

**niky** · August 3rd, 2011 12:56 PM

It's probably too early to tell.

Most agree that the new plastics are garbage, and that the steering is worse... BUT...

Some reviewers have noted the following improvements:

More legroom
Shorter wheelbase (makes for better handling, apparently)
Longer stroke suspension (the FD is very crashy compared to the competition because of the short stroke)
It STILL gets terrific real world economy. (i.e.: whatever the EPA figures claim, economy is better than most competitors)

and best of all:

They've removed the torture device from the FD that they laughingly call "lumbar suport".

Worst Civic ever designed indeed IMO
Parang transition lang ng EK to ES (Vtec3)... then comes the FD and this ugly looking 9th gen civic.

The EK and FD are one of the best Civics ever made, lahat proportional for me

Mas type ko FD design wise pero classic yung EK eh. hehe

Correct. The EK & the FD are the two best Civics in town. The former became the best during its time because of the unbeatable looks plus terrific stock engine. The latter, on the other hand, is because of its looks compared to its competitors. ( The 06-07 Altises are small & ugly -- sorry guys. ) The FDs not a Civic meant to be raced, it's more of an economic car which just happens to have a long list of aftermarket modifications available thats why " H boys " loved them, too.

The 9th gen Civic sucks, looks wise. I don't know if it will be loved by the " H " enthusiasts but for me, as an avid fan of Hondas too, " i`ll pass. " is all I can say.

i totally agree sir!!!
just sold my 2000 civic EK, because it was totally abused by the 1st owner, second, ... user, all i can say is that, the engine is excellent! the guy who bought it, he's in disbelief as he can't hear a roarig sound in the engine bay while in idle, with AC on...LOL!
the exterior not looking good, suspension started to break... if not abused, i'll keep it.. now am driving a 2012 Kia Rio, good and cheap for a bachelor like me in the land of sand and dates.

Yes, EK and FD Civics are the best among the Civic pedigree.... It was a bit not so good that our family had to sell our EK Civic a few months ago. I could have used that car.

Remember, di purket Honda maganda. Besides, mas titbag ito sa sales ng mga bagong competitors - Hyundai Elantra (prediction ko mas bebenta compared sa 90's), Toyota Corolla Altis (still the king), Chevrolet Cruze, at to a lesser extent, Mitsubishi Lancer EX.

The only Honda worth buying are the Jazz and City, the rest... forget about it
