Test drive Honda Civic sedan 2006 - 2008 sedan

EQUILIBRIUM

140 L.S. what is needed in the modern city for active everyday life. But we have no choice: all Civic sedans on the Russian market are delivered with 1.8 liter engines
Subtle, for sure, cleanly. Civic blade. Elastic, light, sharp. They have been so since 1991. We have not changed today, if we are talking about the sedan: Eurochatechback will steer differently. In the days of the previous generations of Japanese alpha, it was customary to frown, seeing instead of a small dense butt of the hatchback a heavy overhang of the cedan: this is not a sivik, the arrogantly knowledgeable said. And this was the truth. But today, it is in the Civic Sedan that the genes of Sivik-Hatchback of the fifth generation continue the life: a machine that combines grace and lightness with force, virtuosity of advanced engineering with simplicity of design.
 
Want to make an opinion about Civic Sedan? Rather in the steering wheel! For three reasons. Firstly, to look outside, alas, especially nothing. Secondly, it’s good behind the wheel, and thirdly, if you are not good there, go out, close the door and do not turn around anymore. It’s good for you with Civic. The ergonomics and the Honda interior are quite characteristic and strong to either please those who finally found what they had longed for a long time, or make it perplexed, which is why it was not to do everything like a love? Low landing almost on the floor, legs parallel to the floor, floor gas: now it is not customary to give so many sports and intimacy with the road to users of everyday household vehicles.
 
A small steering wheel work of art. I want to rotate it simply because it is damn convenient to do. It is not clear why his knitting needles were charged with a clip of ergonomically stupid buttons. But everything else is just great: both the ties spaced on two tiers, and the innovative handbrake. They are even more convenient than original, and the seats are kept in corners as tenderly and free as it is reliable. An expensive finish plastic, accurate fitting and verified efforts on everything that you twist, press, switch, create the feeling that you tried to please you more than for the offset. Four with a big plus: minus for visibility forward and left.
 
It is spacious in the back seats, and the trunk is large and convenient. All this is a cargo -passenger abundance, not least, the merit of an explanatory layout and a short motor compartment. There is only one engine on Civic today: 1.8 liters, 140 liters. With. Normal power unit. Modern, even, economical. However, in his sound and in the character of Honda there are not so many. But handling is exemplary, tasty, real. Leaving the Russians an acceptable level of comfort and energy intensity, the chassis with a multi-link design of the rear suspension Civic Setan gives the driver that sophisticated taxiing: like a pattern for which Honda owners of Accord, Prelude and former civic
Civic sample of the winning combination of energy intensity and comfort of the suspension with a handling that can enjoy driving
Short front overhang, short motor compartment: there is enough space behind for passengers and baggage

   
With such a number of non -standard decisions, to ensure indisputable ergonomics, well, isn't an engineering miracle?
Comfortable. Although unusual, but functional
On the rear seats civic. Cosiness provides soft upholstery and high -quality plastic trim
The trunk has an even floor, but is slightly constrained by wheel niches
