Test drive Honda Civic sedan 2006 - 2008 sedan

The eyes of the owner

Good afternoon, dear edition.
The theme of my story is acquaintance with the world Honda
At the moment, I am the happy owner of the Honda Sivik car (7th generation)
2002 car, mileage 130 thousand km. Engine 1.6, automatic transmission.
The first car appeared in our family-it was Zaporozhets, on which my dad famously traveled around the city and the N-Chelny-Penza highway, the car was almost not announced. And being still a child, sitting in this device, I fell ill with these 4 wheeled friends. Unfortunately, this two -door handsome man died a violent death under the wheels of a dump truck. Thank God none of the people was injured.
After that, our family was still 10 years old.
Then, for the lack of a driver’s license, I never missed the opportunity to sit on the navigator and with great attention not to follow the road, but to follow the driver controls the car.
I'm not talking about collecting all kinds of pictures with the image of supercars, various calendars, liners, brands, etc.
After graduating from the institute, the parents had a VAZ 2106, though not a new, but rather decent condition. Black, all in chrome, and what was surprised by the chrome valve cover of the motor and an air filter case. In any service they were touched.
Further, life turned, and it’s good that it was not backward. I moved to live Moscow.
Finally, the first personal car appeared - the VAZ 21099. In principle, the car worthy of its price, after replacing the engine, there were no problems with the car at all, although from time to time small but frequent breakdowns were constantly tormented, the question was constantly tormented - where the antifreeze was gone. The car was sold in connection with the bursting front beam, directly between the mounts of the crabs.
After 2 weeks of skiing by public transport, I could not stand it and began to search for something with 4 wheels and roof, i.e. Absolutely not definite. An unexpected offer from my wife’s colleague was received - Honda Sivik! As stated .. - Zandoroga. The car stood for almost 6 months (all winter and spring) right in the yard.
I decided to see ......
Honda Sivik 1992 Vyp. Blue mother of pearl. Sedan .... The engine is 1.5 (90 hp) the manual transmission, I started .... I went to diagnostics, and never arrived ...
What is the diagnosis - how it was driving !!! Oh! In general, the next day I was already the owner.
High hatch, dynamics, landing. Pretty spacious salon. Just think for 14 years, and only the exhaust system and the radiator changed on it, not counting the consumables.
This spring I had to part because In mid -February, we entered the ass.
There was a wide selection again. I traveled a bunch of salons, read a lot of luters and reviews of the owners and ..... ... I could not change the brand.
And so, at the moment I am the owner of Honda Sivik 7 2002 onwards. 1.6, with automatic transmission (second hands).
I bought this device in the city of the hero of Tula. Many go to Tula for weapons, some for gingerbread or samovars, others on business or visiting, but I'm for a car. Two factors of the electo -car have prompted me to this. The first is a certain amount, the second, this vehicle should be bought from an official Diller. And at that time when I matured, there were only two cars on sale. And this one was closer.
I went 2 times, see and buy. And so .. it is transferred to the keys and documents, the carrot was given in the load. The gingerbread was delicious. The car was beautiful :)
I am generally satisfied with the car. A spacious salon, very referred to the lack of a central thin at the feet of the rear passengers (especially passengers). Everything in Hondovsky is simple and dynamic.
In order to avoid various surprises in the technical part, a large one was made - to the maximum everything is replaced.
Due to the fact that I always pulled the pen, mine, I still get used to the machine. He is of course very frisky, but still thoughtful. But in traffic jams what a beauty! The VTEC engine is quite nimble and moderate in appetites. Now, if you have an air conditioner .. Yes, I do not use it, there is also a sliding hatch here!
Probably due to the fact that this model was sold very poorly in Russia, people passing by react strangely. They stop their eyes and lead him to Shildik N, then throw his head-it seems like ahhhhhhhonda! :) nice to hell!
Good luck on the roads!
