Used Honda Civic Spares For Sale

The modified suspension made the car more precise in handling, but it did not become softer, the new Honda, like the old one, is not intended for poor dirt roads, even asphalt is its element. The car quickly received its first changes – since 2013, updated versions have been offered.

Design & Trims

The sedan is offered in four trim levels: Elegance Lifestyle, Executive and Premium. These models are equipped with halogen headlights, power windows and mirrors, heated mirrors and front seats, air conditioning, a CD player with MP3 support, 4 audio speakers with steering wheel controls, a multifunctional color display. Rims – ordinary steel with hubcaps, dimension 195 / 65R15.

In the maximum configuration, Honda Civic is equipped with various additional amenities such as a Bluetooth communication system, comfortable keyless access, engine start button; steering wheel and gearshift lever – in leather braid; on the roof – electric sunroof.

Engine

The Honda Civic is equipped with a 1.8 liter VTEC SOHC gasoline in-line 4-cylinder engine with a capacity of 141 hp. (from 2013 – 142 hp). Thanks to the introduction of the latest technologies, it was possible to bring fuel consumption on average to a little more than 6 liters per 100 km. Indeed, in addition to the already familiar measures to reduce fuel consumption, such as the i-VTEC intelligent variable valve timing system, the car is equipped with an ECO-Assist system, and thanks to its tips, the driver can choose the most optimal driving mode to minimize gas consumption. With perfect “mutual understanding”, the speedometer glows green, but when it goes beyond the “savings frontier” – blue.

Gearbox

The engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or 5-speed “automatic”. In the latter case, the Civic has paddle shifters for manual operation. If we talk about the suspension, then globally, of course, it has not changed – for the sedan, it is still MacPherson in front and an independent multi-link design at the rear. The settings were changed to provide the required (and, of course, appropriate for the frisky nature of the car) handling parameters. Both front and rear disc brakes. The front, of course, is a ventilated type. The car is equipped with an electric power amplifier, and the minimum turning radius is 5.4 meters.

Safety

As standard, the Civic sedan has eight airbags, including side airbags and curtain airbags that protect passengers in the event of a side impact. A distinctive feature of the “air races” of the new generation is a higher response speed and a phased opening mode, due to which better protection is provided. Of the electronic systems in the car there are: anti-lock braking system, brake force distribution system, emergency braking “assistant”, as well as an assistance system when starting on a rise and a tire pressure monitoring system. The standard set also includes a stabilization system (VSA).

Summary

The ninth generation Civic has become an outstanding representative in every way since the creation of this model. Dynamic, powerful enough, economical, comfortable and, of course, safe – such an excellent set of qualities allows Honda Civic to remain in the ranks of the best cars. True, there was a fly in the ointment – loyal fans of the brand and model are forced to put up with the increased cost.
