Recall that we evaluate maintainability in points. They correspond to the total standard hours (according to the official grid) spent on certain operations.
ONE TO ONE
The Civic is supplied to our market only with a 1.8-liter gasoline engine (141 hp), which migrated from the previous generation car. The timing chain drive is designed for the life of the engine and requires no maintenance. Although the forced replacement of the chain will not cause problems: a special tool is not needed to mark the shafts - a person without much experience can handle this operation.
The attachment drive is obscenely simple. The tensioner roller has a very convenient loosening mechanism, and the belt itself can be changed even from above without removing additional elements. Its replacement is not provided for by the regulations, but usually the minimum resource is 100,000 km.
Individual spark plug coils are freely available. They are fixed with bolts "by 10", and the iridium candles themselves are made under the head "by 16". The replacement interval is 120,000 km.
To replace the engine air filter, just lift the engine cover. In a hatchback, the upper partition of the engine compartment is located higher than in a sedan, respectively, and the cover can be raised higher, and this facilitates the procedure. The replacement schedule is every 30,000 km.
But in general, the difference in the layout of the engine compartment of a sedan and a hatchback comes down to trifles.
Replacing the battery is not a problem even in winter. It is pressed only with a bar fixed on two long studs with “10” nuts - and no brittle plastic. A battery charge sensor is placed on the negative terminal, but it does not need to be touched - it is enough to loosen only the terminal itself. In rare cases, when the battery is disconnected for a long time, you will have to enter the radio code, and there is no clear dependence on the duration.
Big complaints were caused by the expansion tank of the engine cooling system. It is located very low - under the battery, next to the left fan. The tank is labeled with minimum and maximum levels. They can be seen well, but the liquid level is difficult to see without a flashlight. In addition, the engineers brought the filler neck of the tank too low. If there is no spout on the antifreeze container, some of the liquid will certainly spill past. And the radiator filler cap is located well (you won’t lose a drop), and you can even reach its drain plug from above. The antifreeze replacement interval is 200,000 km or 10 years, then 100,000 km or 5 years.
In a manual transmission, the drain plug is located under the left drive and is made to fit a ⅜ inch square, a 17-inch turnkey filler plug is placed above it. Everything is as usual: pour oil until it flows from the filler and at the same time from the control hole. I was surprised only by a small oil change interval - 60,000 km. However, for the box it's good.
The manufacturer also took care of the hydromechanical “automatic”: the oil change schedule is every 45,000 km. The operation is very simple, just like in the good old days. There is a normal drain plug on the bottom, and an oil dipstick on top, through the hole of which oil is poured. There are risks on the dipstick to check the level on a heated box.
LOOKING-LIGHT
Despite the similarity of the nodes in the engine compartment, the rest of the sedan and hatchback are strikingly different from each other (this was the case with the cars of the previous generation). The front panels are different. In the rear suspension - a beam for a hatchback and a multi-link for a sedan. In a sedan, the fuel tank is habitually placed under the rear row of seats, while in its strange brother it is under the front! To replace the fuel filter, which is built into the pump, the hatchback will have to remove the center console ... The operation is not very complicated, but the fact remains. Technological holes in the floor of both bodies are large enough to freely remove the pump. It is fixed with a cover, which requires a special puller. The pump must be completely disassembled to replace the filter. Without experience, it is better not to mess with this operation - it will become more expensive. The replacement interval is 90,000 km.
No less surprised and different brake mechanisms. If for other models this is usually associated with unequal engine power, then in the case of Civics, the logic is unclear. Both cars have disc brakes in a circle, but at the same time a different design and thickness of the brake discs, original calipers, calipers and pads! When servicing brakes, the question of what type of body you have does not seem so irrelevant anymore - does it? The technology for replacing elements is identical, just the mounts are different. In a sedan, the front calipers are fixed with “14” bolts, and the rear ones are “12”. In the hatchback, instead of them, guides for the hexagon “by 7” are used. The brake fluid change interval is longer than most brands - 45,000 km or 3 years.
The front optics are also different, but this did not affect the process of replacing the lamps. All cartridges are fixed by turning. Access to them is very limited, but removing the headlights is also not an option - you will have to dismantle the bumper. We change the lamps in the outer corners of the headlights through the fender liner. Sometimes it happens! The rest - as usual. On the right, the filler neck of the washer reservoir interferes, but it can be removed. On the left, access is limited by the battery and a small plastic pad between it and the fuse box. The latter is fixed on two simple clips, and trained servicemen do not touch the battery.
The rear optics of the hatchback is half diode, it has two times fewer conventional lamps than the sedan. For both, all cartridges are fixed by turning, except for the illumination of the number. In case of failure of the diodes, the optics elements will have to be replaced as an assembly. The lamps in the lanterns, which are in the hatchback trunk lid, are changed through convenient plugs in the lining. And the elements in the wings will have to be removed, since there are no technological holes. To replace the number plate lamps in a hatchback and a sedan, we take out their cases from the outside.
In a sedan, to replace the lamps in the lamps in the trunk lid, it is enough to bend its trim. If access is still not enough, then you can remove the next few clips. That is, it is not necessary to completely dismantle the skin. A similar story with the lanterns in the wings. We take out a few clips and bend the skin, and it's very simple.
The rear foglights of both cars are located in the bumper: in the center of the sedan, and on the left of the hatchback (the reflector is on the right). To replace the lamps, you need to crawl from the inside, their cartridges are fixed by turning. The sedan has a towing hook that interferes: you have to remove the two nearest bumper clips and bend it a little. On a hatchback, you need to remove the bumper boot under the foglight.
TOTAL
For the overall assessment of the Civic, let's take the average score for the sedan and hatchback - 8.85. There has never been such a good result! You can be as surprised as you like at the illogical differences between the two cars (what is the gas tank under the front seats of a hatchback worth!), But the simplicity and thoughtfulness of maintenance put everything in its place.
We thank the Aoyama Motors Technical Center (on Borovskoye Highway) for their help in preparing the material.

You are looking at a generation that is no longer on sale.
More information about the model can be found on the latest generation page:
Honda Civic 2013 - 2016, generation IX rest.
Perhaps not enough good sales, changing market conditions, or maybe criticism from the owners of the ninth generation Honda Civic, which appeared on the market in 2012, forced Honda to introduce an updated version of the model a year later.
Of course, the company did not have time to completely rework the Honda Civic in such a short time, but something was still done. Catching that the demand for sedans in the "C" segment began to grow faster than for hatchbacks, Japanese engineers urgently finalized the 4D version, which, by the way, is produced with a sedan body (5D is a five-door hatchback).
It should be noted that it was the compact Honda Civic that brought the Japanese brand much more benefits than any other model it produces. The issue concerns not so much profit as brand image, its authority and recognition. Some experts believe that thanks to the Civic, Honda was able to become the world's largest automaker.
According to a study conducted by marketers, most often Honda Civic is purchased by men over the age of 35, with higher education, who are highly qualified specialists or middle managers who previously owned cars of other brands, including Mazda 3, Toyota Corolla, Mitsubishi Lancer. Therefore, in accordance with the new concept, the updated Honda Civic was supposed to be of the highest quality, energetic, dynamic and even premium. According to these requirements, the ninth generation was restyled.
Under the hood of the Honda Civic, a well-proven four-cylinder 1.8-liter gasoline engine producing 142 hp with a torque of 174 Nm is left, which is offered in tandem with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a five-band “automatic”. The latter has a manual control mode and even paddle shifters, but they are not present in all trim levels. Drive - exclusively front.
Improvements in the new Honda Civic
In addition to improving the driving performance of the Honda Civic, the developers decided to increase its attractiveness by refining the appearance and increasing the comfort of the cabin. As a result, new ones appeared: a hood, a trunk lid, a radiator grill, a front bumper, alloy wheels with an updated pattern and even taillights. The interior of the Honda Civic has also been given a makeover thanks to the use of soft panels and a host of decorative silver inserts for its trim.
But the Japanese engineers did not stop there. They improved the passive safety of the Honda Civic in frontal collisions, strengthened the steering column mounts, made the steering mechanism itself and the rear partition (between the passenger compartment and the luggage compartment) more rigid. At the same time, the gaps in the gear-rack engagement were reduced, which led to an increase in the sensitivity of the steering wheel in the zero zone. To reduce roll, the diameter of the anti-roll bar in the front suspension of the Honda Civic has been increased, the reliability of the anthers of the front and rear shock absorbers has been increased.
Trim Honda Civic
Richer steel and equipment. So in the Executive, the Honda Civic added xenon headlights with washers, rain sensors and parking in reverse. Lifestyle and Elegance have a tire pressure monitoring system. But all this, of course, affected the cost of cars, which rose in price by about 30 thousand rubles. As a result, an already not cheap model in the maximum configuration began to cost about 1 million rubles, while a crisis was raging in the country. This finally knocked down sales, which before that could not be called good. After some time, the company was forced to completely curtail the supply of Honda Civic to the domestic market. Therefore, the appearance of the tenth generation of Honda Civic in Russia as of 2015 remains a big question, while in the USA it is already being sold with might and main.

When meeting this car, the sensational interior design of the 2006 hatchback immediately comes to mind. The new Honda Civic largely inherited the features of this "space" car. When landing in the driver's seat, behind the steering wheel you can see a huge tachometer scale with several indicators on the sides, which is not found in any other car. The speedometer with the on-board computer screen is located on the second level of the dashboard. In addition to some data from the computer, the image of the rear view camera is displayed on this monitor. This position of the instruments is caused not only by the desire to surprise with a new design - the second level of the panel is located almost at the level of the driver's eyes, which makes it easy to read the necessary information without taking your eyes off the road. The outlines of the panel parts, controls and displays, as well as the exterior optics of the 2013 Civic, all have an elongated oblong shape. It is in this design that the corporate Japanese style lies.
The instruments have a blue, harmonious backlight, and additional indicators light up in yellow, red, green or even orange, creating a stunning illumination in the dark. At the same time, it is quite soft and does not distract attention from the control process.
Although, according to some auto critics, along with the ultra-modern design style, the new Civic inherited from its younger brother a certain overload of the panel with control buttons. But this shortcoming, if I may say so, will not take long to get used to. After just a few miles behind the wheel of a 2013 Honda Civic, all the elements of changing settings are perceived easily and without too much confusion. And after a longer acquaintance with the 2013 Honda Civic, it begins to seem that it was impossible to think of a better position for a particular button.
The 2012 Honda Civic's advanced multimedia system works great with Apple products. Owners of smartphones of this brand will be able to view playlists, album covers, the system even supports Cyrillic. Thanks to the Bluetooth system, the driver will be able to answer calls or listen to music from the phone without taking their hands off the steering wheel. In addition, the audio system has a good sound and is able to please real music lovers.
Compared to the previous model, the 2012 Honda Civic has noticeably improved the quality of the finishing materials. The leather-wrapped steering wheel fits very comfortably in the hand: it seems that he is able to drive the car on his own. The driver only has to help him a little to choose the right direction of the turn. Seat and door upholstery materials enhance the feeling of comfort from being in the cabin of this Japanese.
According to motorists, the level of sound insulation of the car has also raised its bar. Now the sounds from the engine and the friction of the wheels on the roadway practically do not enter the cabin, while maintaining a sense of comfort. At Honda Civic, new external features are due mainly to changes in the front and rear optics, the shape of bumpers and stampings on the sides of the body. The headlights and taillights got rid of rounded shapes: the front ones stretched out in length, and the rear ones acquired sharp corners. The bumper has become narrower, foglights are located in its niches, which gave the car a sporty look. Thanks to such changes, the new Civic got rid of the blunt muzzle, its appearance has become more respectable and even premium.
The new security system ensures the peace of mind of the driver and passengers of the Honda Civic. It includes front and side airbags and curtain airbags, a stability control system, a hill hold system, a rear-view camera, powerful brakes, and light sensors.
Despite such rich equipment, even in the basic configuration of the Honda Civic 2012, the price starts at 750 thousand rubles, which is more than acceptable for a car of this class. In total, this sedan offers a choice of four trim levels: Elegance, Lifestyle, Executive and Premium. The latter, respectively, is the most expensive, its price reaches almost one million rubles.
October 2014 It is cold, the place is windy, and the rain does not stop every day. People are scurrying around in the parking lot, giving me glances of very different content. Those of my brothers who are brought to our center are serviced, repaired, polished here ... For now, I am only a temporary inhabitant of it, I am standing here and waiting for something. How temporary I am is not yet clear, since I am being sold. Who will be my new owner and how soon I will have it is still a question.
Most recently, in 2013, a couple of kilometers away, I showed off in the showroom, rubbed to a shine and cleaned to the last speck. They sold me there too. However, back then I had "zero" instead of "forty thousand". Otherwise, everything was preserved almost as before - fortunately the woman who liked me loved me. But life goes on, she liked my colleague with higher ground clearance, and they give me second hand.
31 number. Tomorrow is already November. Rain again, as much as possible already! Everything is as usual, a gray autumn day. So the evening crept up, when suddenly I saw that two people were coming towards me. They became interested, walked around, looked out for external flaws (they tried in vain - I don’t have them). A little later, a local guy joined their dialogue. He gave them the keys, they sat inside and began to press, twist and feel everything that was inside me. They opened the hood for me and looked for something there for a long time. When it all ended with the phrase “you have to take it,” I realized that I would finally ride further: devour kilometers, smell the autumn smell of leaves, fresh frosty air and ... the aromas of urban transport. But do not stand "on a joke" and live the groundhog day! While I was dreaming, the guys left. Some two hours passed before they returned again, and the taller one was already talking about me as a real owner. So that's who it is. So, I was bought, and I found a new owner! He is a Honda lover and he liked me! Yoo-hoo, I'm on the road again! I'm from England, forgive me my habits...
I am individual
Hello host. I am a Honda, modern and quite rare. How do you like me outside? Unusual shapes, isn't it? I'm sorry, what? Squat low over the road? So after all, I was born in the most aristocratic and developed country. And I don't like bad roads. I love the city and the track! Multi-lane roads and traffic lights, bridges and tunnels. I also like bumps and pits, but go around, not “measure”!
You made the right decision by drawing attention to me! Often the abundance of the same type of cars on the streets makes the traffic gray and boring, people stop paying attention to us. And my appearance breaks, as it can, this stereotype, and I look unusual, among my classmates for sure. Don't you find? There are no boring lines here, each part of the body speaks for itself, so the image turned out to be memorable, and you can recognize me in the stream quickly and easily. I think you will like my headlights very much. No? Look, where is my tailgate handle? I look like a three-door hatchback, and these are the sportiest hatchbacks. But I have 5 doors! And the handle was hidden in the side door in place of the vents of the rear side windows. The 17-inch wheels look especially impressive for my size, and with the fin on the roof, my silhouette takes on lightness and swiftness. And the side contours: they seem to draw to you, as if I, cutting the air of the streets, bathe in his touches. There are other interesting solutions, take a closer look, take a walk around ...
Perhaps someone will not like this image - this is normal, because you can not please everyone. Appearance is a matter of taste. However, I do not leave anyone indifferent and, rolling around the evening city, I often catch the glances of passers-by and neighbors in the lane. I think this, too, in part, attracted you to me, because I know that you are a lover of rare and worthy cars. Not to say that I was a very rare car, but you will rarely meet me on the roads. A merit or an omission - how to look.
Few impressions?
I see you are already looking at me. Sit down, dear, bolder! Given the experience of driving Honda cars, you would need to be more confident. Do not worry so much, there will be no difficulties with control, even if you sat down for the first time behind the "left" steering wheel. I only ask you to pay attention to what falls into the field of view of the salon rear-view mirror. Not the best review, I agree, but what you just won’t do for the sake of appearance. Nothing, get used to it. Have you previously owned a 4th generation Honda Prelude and a 2nd generation Honda Accord EuroR? Oh, these are amazing cars - my thoroughbred older brothers. I respect such a rare choice. But we are not weak here either. I will like you from the very first days, if not earlier ... You'll see. You are 36, are you a family man and a lover of everything modern? Solidarity. Car seat for a boy from RECARO? Can't forget EuroR? Commendable! It just fits under my chairs - fasten it soon, I just have isofix mounts here. Caring for the safety of children is your sacred duty. I see that you are a responsible person. I can take care of the passengers too: here I have 8 airbags, seat belt pretensioners, stabilization system, ABS - in short, the whole reasonably sufficient package for peace of mind behind the wheel.
You opened the door, now close it! No, what are you, I'm not chasing you, just listen to the sound of the door closing. It is very noble, as in a car of a higher class. You will like landing in the driver's seat, you are a fit person, so the shape is just right for you. Comfortable? That is, even with a height of 194 cm. There is still about 5 centimeters of freedom above your head, and there is enough legroom in the back for passengers sitting behind you. I belong to the overall class "C", however, I have an armrest between the front seats, and it is quite wide. Warm air enters the glove compartment of the front passenger in winter, it’s better to put gloves there, they will warm your hands in winter. I have good materials in the cabin, a lot of soft interior elements. We don’t offend the rear passengers either: the seats are high, the doors are wide enough, there is enough legroom, their heads do not rest on the ceiling. And how do you like the combination of upholstery and color scheme? Black color is just right, do you agree? It's cozy and warm in this cabin. I have a trunk that is quite decent for the size class, with a rigid shelf that separates the cabin space from the luggage compartment. And I have a pleasant surprise for you - a trick, how you can change the location of the rear seats. There are two options. The first is the usual one: lower the backs into the cabin (together or separately, and the width of the backs is different), while getting an almost flat floor. This is in case you need to stretch out to your full height during the trip in order to sleep in comfort, if you suddenly cannot find a place to sleep in a roadside hotel.
The second option is much more interesting. I'm not such a big car. But I can immerse large overall loads without laying out the rear seats in a flat floor. Because the rear seats can be folded vertically (!), Raising the horizontal part of the rear sofa up! At the same time, look at the floor, it is almost flat, without the usual protruding central tunnel. Thus, folding the rear seats vertically, you will get an impressive space for overall luggage. It's so convenient! Few people can boast of such a transformation in the “C” class.
Shall we ride?
It's time to drive, dear! Adjust the chair: by the way, it can be raised or lowered. Set a comfortable backrest tilt, adjust the mirrors to your height, adjust the steering wheel - ranges in two planes. And now - turn the key to the “ON” position and look at the dashboard. SPACESHIP? NOT OTHERWISE! My dashboard is generally pure futurism! Have you seen this anywhere else? It’s already 2015, however, you won’t find anything like this in production cars to this day. And it's not just about separating the speedometer from the main dials. Pay attention to how everything was invented for me here ... My instruments will even tell you the driving style, how economical it is. Key to start, master! Hard and low starter sound with slow rotation is typical for our brand. Hear how the engine purred along with the exhaust system? Give it gas! Very stupid, you will agree. You are ready? Buckled up? Then move the automatic transmission selector to the “D” position. And go! While we are slowly rolling around the yards, you can get the first impression of the work of the suspension by driving over speed bumps. Although I can’t boast of high ground clearance, I still won’t hurt the slipping policemen, my bottom is even and nothing protrudes below the bumper overhangs. If you have enough clearance under the bumper, then the whole car will pass without touching.
I pass road joints quietly and comfortably - thanks to Michelin Primacy HP tires with a dimension of 225/45 / R17, everything happens without annoying bumps and vibrations. However, if you still end up with a wheel in a decent hole, then keep in mind that the suspension takes such antics of the driver painfully. What do you want? In front I have a scheme of McPherson-type levers on one ball joint, and in the back there is a torsion beam - that's what you get. However, back to the engine. My engine is responsive, cheerful and cheerful. Of course, I don’t keep a red-headed K20A under the hood, but for a 1.8-liter single-shaft SOHC engine, it’s enough for me to frolic. Profitability is a controversial topic for me, depending on how I use it. I know: Honda has to be fast, and I try my best to prove it to you, and it's not so easy. My weight is impressive - more than 1,300 kg! The automatic transmission mode in which we are driving now allows me to turn my heart up to 6,000 rpm. However, peppy torque wakes up only to 4000 rpm. Atmospheric engines live at the top, and they need to be turned! Up to this tachometer mark - I'm sorry, but it will be boring. With "mechanics" it would be much more interesting, but we have an automatic, but it is not easy ... with the possibility of manual gear shifting ... with paddle shifters! But this is a completely different song. Don't believe? Now make sure.
Stop dragging along the back streets and vomiting under the cameras along the avenues. Let's take the freeway. Switch the selector to "S"! Now you just need to live up to 4000 rpm of the first gear, then everything will be very entertaining: loud, with a roar, and much more harshly! Try the steering wheel paddles for tactile sensations - it’s nice to “click” them, do you agree? Glad you like it!
Let's go!
I only ask you to drive wisely and with a cool head. Excitement is excitement, but among us there are many other cars whose mood may not coincide with yours at all. I'm past ... Master ... A-u-u! Oh my God! Yes, he is driving a devil! Well, I wonder if he would get up in the Type-R version with 310 forces? And how do you? Hey, master, respond! Maybe you already have a SCHUMAKHER cap? I'm sorry, what? We'll talk later? Okay, then I'll just remember your emotions. Whoo! It was interesting. Yes, you are a scorcher, sir! How much gas is in the tank? By the way, you don’t have to worry about this: the regular multimedia monitor displays all the disturbing news with red icons on the whole screen, so don’t oversleep. I see that the experience of driving a car with mechanics is decent. What will be your opinion? Are you saying "everything is fair"? Well, I agree. The automatic transmission always keeps the transmission and waits only for your commands. When driving aggressively, the tachometer needle does not fall out of the moment zone! Is the sound good? Are the shifts fast? Yes, it further enhances the driving experience. Certainly not a dual-clutch DSG, but gear changes are quick. Several times you rather sharply did the “rearrangement” of rows in rows. How do you like the steering wheel? Sharp? Yes, three turns. The steering wheel is thick, sheathed in excellent Nappa leather, small in diameter, with bulges at the grip points. Racer's dream. By the way, it is equipped with many buttons, you will figure out for yourself what for.
Say special thanks to the shock absorbers when rearranging: they are stiff enough to ensure minimal body roll. You just need to talk about the brakes. What? "Strong"? "Dead"? All right. 225 mm wide tires and impressive brake discs both front and rear do their job admirably. I have some of the best brakes in the class. I'm a Honda, everything is as it should be. Let not Type R.
Pro comfort
Okay, stop driving. Reduce the concentration of adrenaline, relax a little. The automatic transmission lever to the “D” position - and we will drive in comfort. I can do this too, because my sound insulation is decent, like class “D”. Take a ride, compare if necessary. Hydraulically filled rear stabilizer bar bushings add comfort. My audio system sounds good, has sufficient expansion options (USB, AUX, MP3, as well as ID3 with Russian tags and RDS). It's a pity I can't boast of connecting my phone and playing music via BT-audio. There is something to strive for. My on-board computer will show you the current time, calculate the fuel consumption, how long you have been on the road, as well as the distance traveled. I will bring all this to you on the LCD screen of the on-board computer. When parking, a color rear view camera with a wide capture angle will help you. Thanks to her, it is very convenient to wedge into the stream, leaving parking pockets on streets with heavy traffic. I am sure you will find something else from my "fennec fennec", I will not immediately reveal all the secrets.- Low ground clearance (although for me this is not a minus at all, but for most owners it is).
- Painful suspension response to our bumps in the road.
Once again I find myself thinking that Honda is a very distinctive brand. And over time, he never ceases to amaze me. The latest news from Honda confirms this: they are already taking to the skies with their fully developed Honda Jet business jet, resurrecting a line of hot Type R versions of their models, announcing three rear-engined sports cars at once, launching a mind-blowing series, etc. On account of this automobile brand, many innovations in the automotive industry. They also have the smartest artificial intelligence robot, ASIMO. They were not sold to anyone under various mergers and did not buy anyone, working only on their own. And Soichiro Honda was a brilliant man and invented something new all his life. It is a pity that he did not live to see the time when Honda took to the skies.
