Jetta turbo at 250 to 260, so i would assume the Civic might be the same or a little more.drchaos wrote:Honda has an ad on its Facebook page for the new civic, the engine options on the ad are the 1.5 Turbo and a 1.6 NA.

Let's take a closer look at the history of some of these small cars locally:
Toyota Yaris hatchback - no longer imported quite a while now and 1.3L only
Daihatsu Sirion - TTTL no longer imports this brand. The Sirion was 1.3L only
Suzuki Celerio - LSM no longer imports it. This was a 1.0L 3-cylinder only
Hyundai Atos Prime - Mel's imported a few years ago IIRC and this was a 1.0L
Hyundai Getz - Mel's also imported these. It scored better than the Atos Prime but dismal sales nevertheless. These came with a 1.6L engine. Big displacement in this class!
Kia Avella - SS imported these years ago and they sold poorly. They came 1.5L (a Mazda engine actually)
Kia Pride - Like the Avella, the Pride sold in small numbers. These were 1.3L.
Kia Picanto - Most recent failure and these were 1.2L
Nissan Cube - believe it or not, NM at the time imported the first-gen cube for a short while. They failed eventually though and came 1.3L
Nissan March 1.2 - not sure if Massy still imports this car but sales struggled while they did for obvious reasons (more popular in roro market)
Fiat Punto - Like locals have sumtin' against Fiat in general. Nothing sells good from them over here. Only a few was imported years ago.
Chevy Joy/Opel Corsa - imported by SS for the Chevy and a now defunct company called Platinum Motors for the Opel. I think no one remembers them locally and I think even GM doesn't want to remember them either.
What seems consistent as of late are the Honda Fit, Suzuki Swift, Ford Fiesta and Chevy Spark. They sell by the little but at least that segment has some representation locally. I see the new entrant Mazda 2 also has a hatchback and these are 1.5 dohc 16v skyactiv. The Kia Rio hatchback is also selling adequately like its corporate sibling, the Hyundai Accent hb which is 1.6L.
