Drive in cars, vtaplivaya gas pedal to the floor, like many - most importantly, to allow the machine and respond accordingly. However, for someone to "drive" means the first to leave the intersection, and for someone - shoot at speeds under 200 km / h on a beautiful country road, frightening the fellow motorists. PHILIP Berezin, CHIEF REDAKTORK what am I doing? Perhaps the fact that the new generation Civic is suitable, rather reckless of the first category. I would call the "Japanese" the best urban drayverskogo (the word "race" is also nice) car, because it allows to enjoy the speed, without leaving the outside of the indicators on the dashboard. And thank God! Civic meet the expectations of those who wish to get positive emotions from driving in the first few meters way. Sharp steering, excellent acceleration - only manage to capture changes of running numbers on the instrument panel: one-two - and already there appear the numbers "60-70", plus a successful, moderately aggressive brakes, comfortable "sporty" landing ... this is what you wanted? Get! Add to this the extraordinary spatial and color solutions center console and instrument panel - and will neither give nor take space computer toy. In general, the first impression of the new "Japanese" from Honda - the most pleasant. Not surprisingly, all of whom managed to sit in the driver or the passenger seat, welcomed the start of the motion unanimous: "Wow." However, after the first meters of our aggressive Civic somehow deflated. In any case, further acceleration is not so impressed. But the fun did not become less control: acute reaction, a great "burden" on the steering speed, confident in vgryzanie doro-gu - all for excellent handling nalitso.No have to pay. In our case - rigid suspension, which significantly respond to most road irregularities, making the heart contract after a particularly severe blow. Those who are planning to purchase a new "Japanese", and to remember that this car is very low (I think, about 14 cm) road prosvetom.V Overall, the new Civic can not be characterized as definitely male or typically masculine car: it can deliver pleasure to anyone. And since the car for all occasions "Japanese" can not call, I want to describe it "car for a pleasant life." ALEXANDER Korobchenko, OBSERVER "... But we're waiting - reassured me - what next, the eighth generation, will not be less athletic than their predecessors of the nineties." It told me the manager of one of the salons Honda year and a half ago. Then we had agreed that the seventh generation could be a little witty frolic yes ... After a personal acquaintance with the new "Civic" doubts have disappeared. I have found that forecast has come true in many respects Manager: I thought that little Civic lacks the dynamics of dispersal after 70 km / h, but up to this mark, it behaves cheerfully and energetically. A-handling is probably the leader among front-drive sedans-class golf! Externally Civic left a good impression: strict classical forms, inherited, it seems, is the fifth generation, quite peacefully coexist with fresh ideas and lines. In front it looks like a smaller "Accord": a low and wide "muzzle" severely upturned corners of the headlights and borrowed from the "big neighbor" grille. The car was noticeably lower and wider than the previous generation, while significantly adding to the front and rear rear koleyah.Vid more succinct: to distinguish the new Civic from a previous possible except by the spectacular optics - 4 red circles inscribed in the two trapezoidal blocks. Interior - exterior to match: a bright and functional. Perhaps the most striking and nontrivial in its class and even above the segment. What does one design the instrument panel with a gradient blue and white backgrounds in the center of the tachometer! Sam tachometer, by the way - the only round indicator on the panel. Electronic speedometer, for example, is located directly above it - to the next level of the instrument scene. Excellent interior is inscribed in a 3-spoke steering wheel, and most importantly, it fits comfortably in the hands due to thickening in the areas of sports, "ten" and "two hours." Honda sedan with a 1.8-liter engine and a "machine" is quite frisky in the first two gears, but further acceleration of its former loses speed. Manual could improve the situation: on the passport, acceleration to 100 km / h with a 6-speed "handle" requires at least one-half seconds - 9.1! Well, let: Honda Civic, even with the 1.8-liter engine, ready to compete with many two-liter cars. Especially in the dynamic movements of the city: no vvinchivayas rolls in turns and wildly out of rearranging the series in a row. That he knows how! If you follow my example and change seats behind the wheel of Civic, leaving the seat (not very impressively, by the way) sedan, Honda will make the road look for the maximum number of twists and turns. Civic loves maneuvers, "the snake" turns, rebuilt suspension ... it almost impossible to the body even in extreme heel turns: in a series of bends, where, it seems, must fail sedan on the outside wheel, the car is surprising for its resistance. Lead to the wheel speed quickly and accurately transmits the wheels. At the same time about the "hooks" steering simply forget: a sensitive and acute, it requires a minimal deviation to the right Civic dived storonu.Poroda! Predilection for active driving the Honda in the blood, and "Civic" - a clear confirmation. His will be appreciated by both men and women. Heads-tion - to perceive the movement from point "A" to point "B" as a way to get a lot of pleasure that the new Civic is ready to provide the full! MARGARITA MURADOVA, OBOZREVATELRazgovory about the new "Civic" has long fueled my curiosity. Introduced in the fall Fairgrounds, futuristic hatchback more than once-charmed and added fuel to the fire: not anxious to be behind the wheel. But wait so long - right up to July: an eternity. So when a chance to try out in the seventh generation sedan, I agreed without hesitation. Is it really good the new "Civic"? ... Perhaps, yes, but he did not call me violent delight. The harmonious shape of the body, profile, reminiscent of the "younger brother" Honda Accord - all quality, modern, but still no follies hatchback. From the driver's appearance more interesting: the original low dashboard, "space" steering wheel, numbers, and other navigation information with a nice blue eye podsvetkoy.Pribornaya panel is divided into two parts. At the bottom is the original tachometer, and the top - a digital speedometer. Despite the unusual location, devices are read well. The remaining buttons are conveniently located - in the literal sense of the word at hand. At sufficiently low landing remained good visibility. It should also be noted additional rack front door, forming a small window. In my opinion, a controversial solution: it does not interfere with visibility, but the general background is alien elementom.Sidenya with great lateral support to set up a sports driving style. True, the interior seemed rather old-fashioned: the rear seats resemble plush sofa, doomed to always look messy, collecting all the dust and all sorts of stuff. And who pushed him here? In general, how the front part of cabin looks modern, so the back half of the archaic. Let's see what this "time machine" in dvizhenii.Nam got a car with a 140-horsepower engine and automatic transmission, a complete Executive AT. Informative steering wheel ensures a close relationship with the track. The machine is adequately responsive to the steering wheel, but there is no nervousness, and it is not a sharp. Sedan excellent road holding with ease is a turn of 180 degrees. Security systems are in constant combat readiness. Under heavy braking ABS operates in good faith by stopping the car almost immediately. Despite the announced "sport" suspension, contrary to expectations, seemed too soft. Push the accelerator pedal, you feel like a machine steadily picking up speed, but without the characteristic leap, rather slowly and smoothly. This can be partly attributed to the automatic transmission. Even when switching gearshift on the mark "S" - manual control of the machine with blades steering wheel - drive fails. On the contrary: after the machine has become, as it seemed to me more "thoughtful". I hope that the "handle" seventh "Civic" will poveselee.Rezyumiruya all the above, we can say that familiarity with the sedan went smoothly, without much enthusiasm. "Honda" always leaves a good impression. Waiting for a hatchback!
