![]() ![]() I wanted to love this car the moment I saw the new Honda Civic advertisement. It’s a sleek drive and a return to form for the once popular brand. But the Civic VTi-LX should not be underestimated. Does it fulfil its brief and appeal to younger drivers? I think they’ll be holding out for the hatch due early 2017. Its fuel efficiency is exceptional and price attractive. The VTi-LX is a more sophisticated drive than the similarly priced Hyundai i30 SR Premium. So this Civic better be good if it is to wrestle drivers away from the top selling Hyundai i30, Mazda 3 and Toyota Corolla. The small car market segment is the most popular and hardest fought in Australia. The big question: Is the 10th generation Honda Civic VTi-LX the stuff of which dreams are made? Using the slogan “Dare to Dream”, Honda’s introduced its “bold” new Civic. Then Honda dropped the ball and fell off the radar resulting in plummeting sales.īut the car maker is back. A staggering 23 million have been sold globally since its launch in 1972. In the 1990s and early 2000s the Honda Civic was one of the best sellers in its class. It sits above the VTi, (starting at $22,390), the VTi-S, VTi-L and Honda Civic RS. The top of the range VTi-LX is priced at a competitive $33,590 ($34,165 with metallic paint). It generates an impressive 127kW at 5500rpm and 220Nm yet has a claimed average fuel consumption of just 6.0L/100km. The bold new Honda Civic VTi-LX sedan sports the car manufacturer's first 1.5-L VTEC turbocharged engine. Honda’s all-new Civic sedan goes a long way toward giving the jaded nameplate some much-needed shine. ![]()
