Its been a while driving a Honda Civic 2012 here in US. What I saw was the same old ugly shape issue and hard dash interior. And then they announced a relifted shape that was so much better in terms of interior and exterior. But what the heck! I could not complain as I was driving the old ugly model for now which makes me feel like sitting in a more classy version of Mehran to be honest as they really have made the interior crappy. But who cares now! they improved it and I hope the uplift touches market soon to gain its competitive edge back. I am not here to discuss the Hondas or Toyotas here, though in my post, I will show you how improved the interior of the new civic has become now so users might move ahead and wait till it reaches the market in Pakistan (I hope it has, u never know!)
My discussion here is about Mazda..... The mazda's improvement after it ditched its RX models and decided to gain back market with its very new SKY ACTIV technology. And I think, someone should now look forward for importing fresh mazdas.
WHY DO I SAY SO?
1. Fuel Efficiency! YEP!!! Honda is loosing edge to others!
2. Equipments!
3. Reliability compared to the dual rotor technology they introduced in RXs which was a huge FAILURE!
And finally! I drive one and it is reliable as it was for me in 1996 when our family owed one and drove it as a first owner till 1998 when we sold it after 300,000 miles and no OVERHAUL!
O before i go forward, here is the 2012 civic interior versus 2013 interior
My honda's interior first (2012 Civic Basic LX model)
here you can see the entire plastic dashboard and no bluetooth support
Interior of updated 2013 Basic model LX
the door trims are same, but added are phone bluetooth, leather similar stiched dash front to give it an elegant look, a better feel to the radio and side econ button... Better AC Panel and AC duct silver lining.!!!!!
