@@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
@@doolanbrian so there is none for the base spec? My main issue with the civic is that I’d like a middle/high spec 1.4 civic as I live in London where a 1.4 engine would be perfect. Sadly it seems middle and top spec civics are limited to the 1.8 petrol only which I don’t think will be very good for driving in London
@@shax232 ah ok 👍 makes sense .. the 1.8 is as fuel efficient as the 1.4 from my experience , the 1.8 is under less pressure when accelerating so it tends to not need as much pedal down while accelerating 🙂👍 is 1.8 a problem for ULEZ ?
@@doolanbrian the 1.8 petrol is ulez compliant thankfully, main issue is the insurance is quite a bit more expensive on the 1.8 than the 1.4. Im a young driver (21) so bigger size engines seem to be very expensive to insure as opposed to the smaller engines. Are there any other hatchbacks you would recommend for a young driver like me in London? I currently drive a 2010 fiesta 1.25 and I am looking for something bigger, better spec and a bit more powerful as I travel with family quite a lot
@@shax232 ok I got ya !! Well you could go with a civic and get a bluetooth kit fitted ??? It would then stream music etc .. civic is reliable .. i30 hyundai , Kia ceed , Toyota auris all pretty go too 🙂👍
Thanks for the videos, just a quick question, can you get a roof rack for a 2015 civic with a panoramic roof and if you can whats the cost fitted?
Thanks for watching Peter !! Do you mean roof bars ? 🙂
Yes, roof bars.

Cheers, Brian, they're on the expensive side alright, I'm just worried about fitting them to the panoramic roof, I don't want to crack it.

@@dionraath8092 thank you for watching 🙂✌️
Need a opinion, I am thinking about buying a Honda Civic 2014 that has 74000 miles for $10,500 is that a good price ?
Hi does the 1.4 civic have Bluetooth audio streaming?
@@shax232 if you go for the middle spec are the top spec, it usually does!

This model did not, but usually the sport model do👍🙂
What about 2014 1.6 Diesel?
Great engine! Very economical!
I regularly go to neonazi protests is this car good for longer travels sometimes with 4 comrades in the car as well?
A difficult one to answer, I suppose it depends how tall are your comrades??
🤣🤣🤣 Go buy Civic Tourer and maybe then you can fit some more neoflowers in your boot.😂 It has bigger boot space then some premium cars out there.
