test drive a 2006 Civic 2dr today~ Plastic!

[2000fordfocus]

Today, me and my buddy when to a honda dealer to try out the 06 Civic 2Dr. LX...

The performance is great, 140hp really working hard here.... in terms of performance, better than 05 version....

But the interior is a big disappointment... I hated the electronic speedometer and too many cheap plastic!! I was like what? isnt this a japanese car? is starting to feel like a american car~~~

i never thought a ford focus guy would complain about the cheap plastic aren't you used to it by now?

Yeah, the cup holder 'sliding cover' is kinda tacky imo.

Hahha you nailed it right on.

OP, let me remind you. Its a CIVIC gosh its to compare to the low end economy vehicles. Want luxury? pay more cash for Infinity, Acura, and Lexus. Remember, imports are not cheap. They're built solid

[2000fordfocus]

we all know import tend to have better interior quality... but i was shock to see this level of plastic from a Civic...

my focus is doing well, thx!

[apvm]

ah Civic...I used to own one, a 91' basic model liftback I think it was the last generation which was Made in Japan, the thing gave me no problem, the Panasonic battery lasted till 99 compare to the battery of my 94' Accord which only lasted 2 years.

I must say Honda has to cut corners in order to keep the price affordable but the resale value and the engine is simply amazing.

My local garage gave me an offer last year As is for my 94' Accord $4000 which my friend has to pay $30 for someone to tow his 94 Ford Taturus away.

If you ask me, Honda out live Ford anytime and if I have to buy anything cheaper, I rather take anything Korean than American..Period

Ford....*shivers*

[gilboman]

what were you expecting? wood grain/aluminum trim in a economy car?

[2000fordfocus]

this is not a comparison between honda and ford... just comparing to the 05 and 06 civic model, i find they really cut corner here... A mazda 3 is starting to look real good now!

Interior, by far, still looks much better than the 8th Gen Civics.
