Sorry if repost:

I was lucky to go to Europe on holidays and found out that they have a different Civic.



What do you think about the design?

I think is not so "cute" on the outside but the interiors are really nice.

Old news here in Europe! :D

But the Mugen and TypeR versions are nice!

too bad the us won't get these.

NOFX

This is old news to a lot of us in the US too.

That's what i'm talking about.
Type-R is what a friend has and what i was lucky to try back when i went to spain to visit him.
Is just really nice to ride it and also he is crazy enough to do some modifications and gain even more HP.

guess what, we in europe are disappointed that we didn't get the coupe version (sold in UK only).

the FD chassis would have been nice too though..

Yes euro civic is better from us,mugen version is very fast ,all euro civic are nice car..and there are from 2006 and are still cool.

Americans don't see Small Cars as Premium as the Europeans do. Americans see anything small as "cheap."

IMO, Ford is going to be the ones who change that. We'll see if the Fiesta and Focus are as "good" as the European models.

If these cars win, we should see a redefinition of the Small Car segment. From the look of how the 2012 Civic will look like, Honda is not going that direction.

You know.. I really used to hate the Euro Civic, but it has definitely grown on me.

LOL such a biased statement, Its has been proven and shown that the Uk euro civic is not as good as its Japanese counter part. With its out of date rear torsion beam axle suspension setup

acura_el2000

would this car not be easy to import to NA?? get a LHD one and register it as a coupe civic?

barrett_5

don't much care for the stock one, but Mugen RR and Type R are sick.
