You can get the specs at www.carbuyer.com.sg.
But I can remember some figures offhand.
The civic 1.6 gives a power of 125bhp. This is a notch or 2 higher
than its Japanese/Korean competitors(the other 1.6s normally give
107-109BHP), but bear in mind it is also heavier. Personally, I
feel that if u wanna race, get the 1.8 or 2. Or wait for the Type
R.
Accessories compared to 1.8? Besides the smaller engine
displacement:
- it lacks HID lamps, indash 6-CD changer(u get an Alpine singledin
model),
-Paddleshifts,
- Steering-wheel audio controls,
-Side mirror light indicators,
- and Aluminum rims(u get steel rims, nicer looking,
arguably).
-1.6 gets electronic powered steering, compared to hydraulic for
1.8. (Note the 2.0 variant gets electronic steering too)
Otherwise, mechanically, the 1.6 engine is very similar to the 1.8
variant.
Overall, it is a good car. Great looks (beauty is in the eyes of
the beholder). Quiet smooth engine. 5-speed auto transmission
(competitors give 4!). Big on the outside and inside. Good build
quality. Great suspension (independent wishbone!) Responsive
steering.
