In This video review we look around this 2014 Honda Civic VTEC , we will do a quick test drive and look at the features on the inside and the outside with Brian Doolan at Fitzpatricks garage Kildare 
@@petercarty1 I think they have rubbers that absorb the bumps and subsequent friction but we’ve never fitted a set to a car with pan roof so unfortunately i can’t be sure .. send Reg to b.doolan@fitzpatricksgarages.ie and I’ll ask parts to see if there is a set to match the Reg 🙂
Hello, Brian. I'm looking to get one of these, but the engine is giving me mixed feelings, since this model is well known for the 1.8 vtec version. What could you tell me about the engine rpm's at motorway speeds, say, 130 - 140 kms / hour - would we be talking about 2.5K rpms in the 6th gear, or way more? How do you feel the car behaves on the motorway in general? Thank you.
Honestly i cant remember the exact engine revolutions at those speeds but i feel they would be higher than 2.5k.... in my opinion the 1.4 will feel sluggish on the motorway, i would feel that the 1.8 is better for this and the 1.8 is also easier on fuel too !! Hope that helps !
140kmh at 3500rpm. It sounds a lot but due to good aerodynamics and insulation of the cabine it's even bettet then some other cars like Avensis at same speed or VW Passat. Fully loaded two kids filled boot to the top Civic Tourer 1.8ivtec on a German Autobahn at average speed of 160kmh takes around 7.5-7.7 liters. This is only 1-1.2 liters more then VW 2.0tdi which takes around 6.5l with same driving. 2.0tdi you can save money until it starts to brake. Honda Civic 1.8 does not brake and on a long run these engines are better build quality then any out there.
Of course .. we will be selling this for €11950 🙂 finance will be as an example 11,950 for the car €1295 cash deposit giving a weekly figure of about €53 per week
