300hp? Source? And WTF does "eco green electric mr fusion power" mean?
I was just playing..cause in 8 years it increased the HP amount by 8, therefore in 2106, if it followed the same rate, the 2106 civic would have almost 300hp
But because its 2106 it wont use gas anymore itll be all eco alternative fuel like
The on-paper numbers went up by a hair, but the wheel size also went up from 17" to 18", meaning that they have likely gotten heavier.
For street use, I'm willing to bet that the pick up and go eagerness in the new car will deteriorate due to the heavier wheels. Adding insult to injury, those new wheels look rather ugly to me.
Unnecessarily big wheels are always a detriment in my books.
170+lb/ft is finally half decent...the Honda of yesteryear was significantly less than that and didn't weigh that much lighter
There's a reason for that.
The '06-'11 model had the K20Z3 that redlined at 8000, with 139 lb-ft of torque.
They've sinced switch to the K24Z6 with extra displacement, and 170 lb-ft of torque, but a redline at 7100.
From what I've heard, the engine is not nearly as fun, with VTEC not having much of an effect in this application.

New Premium Features
New innovations and premium features abound on the 2014 Honda Civic. Standard and available features include a new 7-inch Display Audio touchscreen control center with optional navigation function, convenient Smart Entry with Push Button start, expanded view driver’s mirror and Honda LaneWatch™ blind spot display for enhanced driver visibility, plus available auto on/off headlights and power driver seat with 8-way adjustability.
Power isn't necessarily always the driving force (har har har) behind buying a good car. Look at the GTI - it's not particularly powerful compared to some of it's rivals, but that HP deficit is made up for by luxury and the way it handles in the corners. If Honda can make the new SI handle just as well as the EP3 SiR hatch of old, you wont care that the HP gains have been minuscule over the years.
