Talk:Honda Civic

Type R

There are no mentions whatsoever of the Type R for the last gen. civic and there is only an horsepower rating for the first gen. type r, not even an engine code. Still, there are mentions of the type-r concept...

US Civic Si gauges

the 2006 civic si's gauges aren't "more reddish," they are red (I agree with the aggressive comment, though), while the civic EX/LX/DX has blue gauges. I haven't seen the inside of a Hybrid to comment if they are different.

addendum... details re: added mileage stats on June 9, 2008

I bought this car new and have the documentation and track record for the car. It has always effectively achieved the mileage numbers they advertised at the time. That is the reference cited for the information. There is no web link for the owner's manual / dealer information as far as I know, but it is nonetheless accurate. Other generations of the Civic in this Wikipedia article include mileage ratings, and the only information provided here for the second generation was specifically for the FE model. The standard model needs to be represented as well, and since 1) it is not always easily found on the web, 2) the EPA site only goes back to 1985 models (as of this writing), 3) I have the information in print, and 4) it is useful information for the Wikipedia to have, especially adding the consistency and comprehensiveness of the other information here. Beyond the written reference I cited above (which is not online, since it is in the owner's manual / dealer materials), there is however an online reference as well, in the Honda Civic Gas Mileage - 1978-1985 section, row 46, the third to last entry for 1983 Honda Civic (4 cylinder - M5 - Manual - 34city - 47highway), at this site: http://www.mpgomatic.com/2007/10/16/honda-civic-gas-mileage-1978-2007/ .

Editing References (Dumb Question)

Reference #45 is incorrect now that the SCCA has changed their web site from a .org to a .com domain. The link to the 2011 Solo II Rules would be correct if the .org was replaced with .com. When I attempted to edit the "References" section, all it said was: "Reflist|2" It seems that it is referring to a list maintained elsewhere. Can anyone tell me where this list may be found (and edited)? Thanks...

Nevermind - found it. The actual reference is stored in the section of the article where the reference is cited. (ps. I told you it was a dumb question.)

Safety Rating Table Abbreviations HBK and SAB

What do the abbreviations HBK and SAB represent in the Safety Rating table? Door is straightforward, but I am assuming HatchBacK and Side-AirBag, but I'm not sure. Would it be possible for someone with knowledge in vehicle safety find an authoritative source or annotate with their best guess? I couldn't find anything on the NHTSA safecar.gov site. Thank you.

Proposed Honda Civic replacement

Hey Charles, Saw you made a replacement of Vauxford's example. I totally agree with your edits, unfortunately dark coloured vehicles do emit a lot of reflections.

I have a proposal of another image, this time however its a sedan. Also please note, background is important in achieving a successful image. I've proposed the following to be used. I've not had the time to take photos, due to other commitments and my camera is getting serviced in 3 days.

• 
  Your one, but what I find it is very skewed. A further analysis reveals the background far looks to be very busy. Also angle is very poor.
• 
  The proposed one. Its a sedan, yes, however that doesn't matter. As long as the image is of good quality and is at the correct lighting, then it means it can be used. Doesn't matter if its a hatchback or sedan, either way both are equally fine. Also sedan was released first in 2016, then the hatchback, so the 'tradition of Civics' is not a good excuse for reverting or replacing
• 
  I may be self advertising myself, however I do not think that mine is that excellent. With the vehicles in the background its very distracting. I am very picky with background choices, however this would be a secondary proposal.
• 
  Whilst this has the best background, its very reflective. Look I understand what we are going to say, its bad? However Vauxford claims this isn't much of an issue , so we can always assume the best. I think this is a good hatchback model one.

Out of these, which of the three you think would be most suitable. Please be evaluative, do not think yours is better just for the sake of it. Okay, please let me know. If I was in your shoes, I'd do the Brazillian version due to less distractions :). All are welcome to choose, including Vauxford. Also note, Charles did the replacement, so I thought I bring it up :). See diff.

EurovisionNim The previous image which you (probably intentionally) not listed was fine. There is no distinctive tilt in it and the reflection isn't that much of a problem. --Vauxford (talk) 09:28, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

No I was doing it to another one mate, not yours. It was my example. You may have made a mistake :) It was to replace my blue sedan one :). The problem Charles and I have with yours is the background. Also technically dark colour cars tend to emit blindspots, as Charles spotted so it was not me who did that replacement. --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 09:30, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Vauxford. I've added yours, please see out of the four, which is better. Apologetic for my mistake --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 09:40, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
