Honda Civic 5d: Updated Test drive!

We had an updated Honda Civic 5D hatchback on the test, which, during its restyling, received an automatic transmission that replaced the previous robot.

In 2005, at the International Motorshow in Geneva, Honda demonstrated a bold project of the eighth -generation concept of the Honda Civic model. Then it is unlikely that anyone could have assumed that in fact, this spaceship of the future would go into mass production without changes.
 

More than 5 years have passed since the appearance of Honda Civic, but the design of the space hatchback is still relevant.

Meanwhile, already in 2006, the world saw the serial Honda Civic 5D, which began to be sold along with a sedan. In Russia, a hatchback with an unusual, but at the same time aggressive and stylish appearance immediately came to the court. Huge lines lined up behind the novelty, and many official dealers of the brand simply stopped receiving orders on Civic5D.
 

External changes in the reistling version: a new radiator grille and an increased number of stop-signal in the rear spoiler.

In 2010, the hatchback underwent small restyling. To notice the changes in the exterior can only a very attentive person. The design of the dull radiator lattice was updated before, which received two holes, and the design of the stop-signal built into the rear spoiler has changed slightly.
 

The chairs are still convenient, the ergonomics of almost the standard! It is a pity that the plastic used in the decoration is completely hard.

Work on the salon was reduced to the use of better materials for finishing the seats and the front panel. Inside, Honda is still pleasing with excellent seats, a comfortable steering wheel and almost a reference ergonomics, which was hidden in an unusual and still actual design. In addition, the Civic 5D has a spacious interior and a capacious luggage of 455 liters with a low loading height.
 

Civic 5D hatchback starting the ritual hatchback system. First you need to turn the ignition key, then press the coveted red button to the right of the steering column. The control of the climate control was taken closer to the driver, as a result of which there is a key of individual temperature control on the armrest of the passenger door. The dashboard is well read.

For greater comfort to all the equipment, the AUX and tire pressure sensor was added, and to equip the Executive Port USB, the rear view mirror with automatic darkness, improved parking sensors.

Now about the main thing! The Honda Civic 5D has acquired a full -fledged automatic machine, which was so lacking in space hechtbek earlier to attract a wider circle of customers. After all, not everyone will master the handle in urban traffic jams, but a robotic transmission to this day is distrustful of Russian customers. In addition, during restyling, the settings of the suspension, the steering wheel amplifier, and noise insulation were changed.
 

Xenon headlights are the prerogative of the rich version of Executive, which will cost at least 927 thousand rubles.

Otherwise, the technical filling of this space cake remained unchanged. Honda Civic 5D is still equipped with a 1.8-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 140 hp. Together with the automatic transmission, which, incidentally, migrated here from the Honda Civic sedan, the car honestly practices passport 11 seconds to hundreds. If everything is in order with acceleration from the place, then the driver’s request for sudden overall overexposure is processed with a delay, requiring additional fractions of a second, to switch a step below. With automatic transmission, the fiery ardor of Honda decreased, Cosmo-Hatch became more calm and comfortable.
 

Three adult passengers will easily fit on the back sofa. At the same time, the trunk of the trunk is also not small - 455 liters.

Meanwhile, Civic 5D is still cheerful. Despite the usual beam in the rear suspension, the hatchback holds great on the trajectory and obediently follows the deviations of the steering wheel. On a straight honda is as confident as in a bend. But the brakes were pumped up: it is inconvenient to dose the force on the pedals, which is why a couple of times had to be forced to bite passengers so as not to be in the trunk of ahead of the vehicle.
 

With restyling Honda Civic 5D received a traditional machine, which was borrowed from Sivik in the sedan body.

The cost of the Honda Civic 5D, equipped with a five -speed manual gearbox, starts from a mark of 834 thousand rubles. For automatic transmission will have to pay extra another 30 thousand rubles. The rich equipment of Executive is offered only with an automaton and adds a leather salon, parking sensors, xenon headlights, USB and IPOD support, as well as an auto -dull rear -view mirror. The cost of such a version is 927 thousand rubles. As the only additional option for executive, a two -section glass roof is listed. The price for the price is 30 thousand rubles.
 
Of the competitors at the cost of Honda Civic 5D, perhaps only Volkswagen Golf can be compared. All the rest, including the new Opel Astra, Peugeot 308 and Ford Focus, is cheaper. The question of whether such a Honda ruble was allowed to afford is open.
