2017 Honda Civic Hatchback MPG
The association with that CM was the image that the new Civic is a car with such a ride that will drive the riders far away. 2017 honda civic hatchback mpg - And recently I got the chance to run that civic at a test ride based on Gotemba instead of Arizona. Then it was the car that I imagined. The first Civic debuted in 1972 the year after I entered the world of motor journalism as a press editor of a car magazine. It attracted the car lover of the time with the first small hatchback of a Japanese car with a European-nosed interior and exterior design that was unusually impressive as then.
But there was also a weak point. 2017 honda civic hatchback mpg - The body rigidity was not so high because the Honda product was less than 10 years old since the production of the four-wheeled vehicle, the stroke of the suspension was also limited, and it was a car that was honestly not very comfortable. However, Civic continued model changes after presenting a unique design even afterward, and it was sent out worldwide as a representative world car of Honda. As a result, production base also shifted to overseas, in recent years only type R was imported from the UK, there was a view that it became a car that was far from home country Japan.
It was released in Japan in the UK factory's hatchback and type R, as well as the sedan made by the Yorii Factory in Japan, but both of which led the development and design to the Honda Institute of Technology in Japan. In that sense, the production area is dispersed overseas, but it is a pure Japanese car. Better to the test ride based on Gotemba was the model excluding type R, the hatchback and the sedan, the engine equipped with 1.5 liters straight four turbo, the transmission was only CVT and 6 stages MT for a hatchback, CVT for sedan, Of course driving the front wheels.

The first ride was a sedan. 2017 honda civic hatchback mpg - The body, the basic design is the same as the hatchback, the second half of the roof draws a gentler line and flows to the rear, the rear overhang and the total length are longer than the hatchback by 130 mm. As a result, the body size is 4650 × 1800 × 1415 mm, which is slightly large as the C segment, but the weight of the car is 1300 kg and its weight is light. The size of the room is basically the same as the hatchback, but the rear seat has a leg room with considerable margin and a headroom with no shortage. The trunk room has sufficient capacity even in hatchback, but the sedan is even bigger.
The test drive course had highway and winding, but in the sedan, I tried the former, Tomei and Shin Tōnen. In the 1.5 liter straight four turbo engine, the regular gasoline specification was piled up in the sedan, generating 173 ps and 22.4 kg m. The CVT intended for operation feeling close to AT, equipped with a torque converter, and equipped with a 7-stage manual mode. When stepping on the throttle at the confluence point to the Tomei descending line, I slipped into the overtaking lane smoothly while feeling a sufficient speed increase. At 100 km / h of the meter, cruising is quiet as the engine is only turning at around 1700 rpm depending on throttle opening. Even if I stepped in from there further, I will accelerate with the momentum of my chest penetrating.
I realized that the powertrain needed more than enough, but it was the feeling of the chassis that I was deeply moved. First of all, in addition to making the body realize the rigid rigidity, I feel that the legs are working nicely and smoothly. In the suspension, the front is a strut, the rear has a completely independent multi-link instead of the torsional beam of the previous generation, but the effect that the effect appears splendidly is the impression. A smooth, smooth, flat and comfortable ride can be said to be quite rare as a Japanese car. Besides that, because steering calm is also good, 200 km / h cruising can be enough in Autobahn as it is in a copy of the catalog.
In the following CVT specification of the hatchback I got into the Hakone winding road leading from Nagao Pass to Ashinoko Skyline, I was deeply moved by the wonderfulness of that footwork here as well. Just as I felt in the sedan, I felt the well-controlled legs moved as much as needed under a rugged body. As a result, the tight corner continues, and the road surface is half wet Nagao Pass, while the Civic hatchback keeps on-the-rail feeling, keeping the corner clear, keeping the fast pace dangerously with minimal steering operation It said.
The size of the tire is increased from 17 inches to 18 inches of the sedan, and the effect of spice that incorporates a thick stabilizer on the rear is also provided, so the hatchback body's performance is felt more quickly than the sedan. At the same time, I could confirm that the brakes also have the stopping power without shortage. Besides that, I admire that ride comfortably, the suspension absorbs the irregularities of the road smoothly, and you can enjoy a flat ride which minimized the vertical motion of the body. I thought that this would make you want to run as far as any way like the example CM.
2017 honda civic hatchback mpg - The basic engine is 1.5-liter truck 4 turbo same as the sedan, but the hatchback is sometimes called the British, but it has high-octane specifications, 182 ps / 6000 rpm for CVT and 9 ps higher power than the sedan. On the other hand, the weight of the car is 550 kg heavier than the sedan, which is 1350 kg. Therefore, although the difference with the sedan was not felt clearly with respect to the power performance, in the winding, when positively manipulating the paddle and running using the 7-stage manual mode, it is almost conscious that it is a CVT It is preferable not to do.
Regarding powertrain, there is no brilliant impression as felt by the chassis, but it is certain that performance will be demonstrated sufficiently to keep fast pace even if the stage is a highway or a winding. Also, the sound of the engine is not bad. Finally, I got on the 6-stage MT specification which is only set for a hatchback. The engine is basically the same high-octane specification, but the torque is increased to 24.5 km and more than for CVT. The figure of power is the same as the CVT specification, but for some reason, its rotational speed is reduced by 500 rpm. As I tried running, it is the first impression that the recent MT is light clutch. 2017 honda civic hatchback mpg - However, I got the impression that MT, shift touch is lacking a little crispness. In the United States, there is a model called Si, which MT is finished in touch with this and type R.
However, there is pleasure unique to the 3 pedal MT in a sense that chooses the gear that I think is appropriate, steps on the throttle and accelerates the car. In this engine, it is regrettable that it is not a type that does not turn around to penetrate at the top end, but if you want to be faster and hot, you should be saying type R. 2017 honda civic hatchback mpg - Forty years ago, Civic, which was created from the creativity of Honda who left Japan and has grown as a world car, the Civic, which had disappeared from the market of his home country at one time, came back to Japan in its tenth generation. With a good sense, I left Japan, along with a supple and supple ride. For men and women who like to run cars far away, I think that this is a buy car. Is the Oh, aims to place nice view, how far even tried to run, Go, Vantage Point!
