Pretty awesome. I'm thinking about getting the EX-L. It's the same car but with leather seats. It feels way more planted on the highway than any other FWD compact I've driven save for the CLA. It actually feels like this was benched more against luxury branded vehicles like the CLA or A3. Probably the best car in it's segment right now. it also felt faster than the Mazda 3 even though it has a smaller engine and a turbo.
just wait till the civic si comes out next year
>>14148101
Looks like a Hyundai minivan.
Typical angry headlights, big mouth grill zzz.
And like usual it'll make less torque than a lawnmower, 0-60 in the 9 second range. Literally zero reason to be interested in this car.
Now if it wasn't so slow, didn't look like ass, wasn't fuck huge, wasn't fwd, wasn't going to be owned by teen girls, and didn't have a limp noodle chassis, maybe we'd have something to talk about.
As is, it's just a cheap Honda that'll be produced in numbers to flood the market, as usual.

Right on the money sir, couldn't have said it better myself. Nothing more plebian than a shitbox civic.

Should be popular with black people.

Civic is the national car for basketball Americans. So much so that Honda will allow financing via food stamps in 2016.
>>14148166
I never called it luxury.
>>14148101
Will Honda even deliver on the promised EX-T manuals?
>>14148138
0-60 in 6.8 seconds with that little turbo 1.5 and a CVT, look it up. 40+ mpg highway to boot. It's definitely king of the hill in the compact class now, and knocking on the door of much more expensive vehicles.
>>14148340
ButCVT =[
Wouldn't it be better to not pretend to have gears on a CVT? Making best power all the time would be great
Sort of like what Tesla does

>Complaining about a Civic because it isn't a sports car.
The 1990's called and they want their cliché back.
On one hand, I kind of like how it looks, but on the other, how do you love a Civic?
I mean, even if it's an objectively good car, there are millions of Civics on the road at any given time. Don't you want a car that is at least a bit of a special snowflake?
>>14148138
lax, it's an economy car
>>14148356
That's exactly how they work when you floor it.
>>14148101
>CVT
No.
I'll wait for the manual only SI or Type R
>>14148356
>Making best power all the time
That's what a CVT does though, and Honda's are actually pretty good.
>>14148174
Honda is actually extremely strict on who they finance. Nissan will finance you as long as you've got a pulse
>>14148138
Fwd isn't bad
>>14149963
stop shitting on FWD
>>14149963
Fwd isn't bad for fuel economy, but it is bad for actual drivers.
>>14148101
Fucking love the new civic, cant wait to see the si...
I'm glad we're getting this version of the type r
I like it more than the hatchback

looks like a Mazda
>>14148101
It wants to be the Accord so bad.
Just don't believe you'll be pulling tail in YOUR ALL NEW TWENTY SIXTEEN HONDA BRO.
>>14148101
Looks awesome, the performance will be great and they will sell a ridiculous amount.
Honda did a great job by getting Guy Melville-Brown to design it. You could tell he's really passionate about his work.
>pic related, the designer
What a piece of shit
>>14148101
looks like shit
I've been swooning over them for a little while now. I was thinking about buying a 93-99 civic outright for a couple grand and just beating it to death, but I think I may actually just save up a little more and buy a new one.
>>14148597
This. The geezers on this board don't realize that trends have changed. Cars are going towards a more economical outlook.
My biggest beef with it is that they gave it this cool liftback styling and.... left it as a sedan, with a tiny-ass trunk opening. WHY
>>14150956
that looks miles better than that minivan type r
>>14148101
M8 isn't that the accord? The civic is compact that thing is full size
>>14153291
not any more unfortunately. Thats the new civic
I work at a Honda dealership and I've personally driven one.
I'm not sold on the 1.5 Earth Dreams turbo drivetrain with CVT
It's slower than molasses on a cold Tuesday morning
It's downright boring.
Perhaps the Type R or SI counterpart will be a little more of a thrill.
I prefer a v6 Accord over a Civic any day tho
>>14153364
How does the detuned K20 equipped LX with a manual drive? I drive a 2012 LX with a stick shift now, I like that it's a basic and reliable port injected engine.
>>14148101
I wonder why they decided to give it a Crosstour like body.
>>14148101
Why does the Civic look as big as an Accord now? Is this even a compact anymore?
I haven't had the chance to rip on a k20 before, actually.
I've only driven brand new ones from the truck.
Usually have 2 miles on the odometer but will have 10 hard miles after I'm done lol
The only ones I've test driven have been the 2.4 motors , and they seem to go fairly well.
