Honda’s global triumph in the auto business were mainly because of the well-planned inauguration of its exceptionally well-established brand, the Civic. Before 1973, Honda was fundamentally renowned as one of the leading producers of low-cost and straightforward motorbikes. It had previously launched cars in the native Japanese auto industry but the models were too small for the American Market’s disposition. With swelling gas costs of the seventies and mounting unemployment, working individuals began identifying methods to reduce their day-to-day expenditure.

The major elements for the compelling success of the Honda Civic in Pakistan include its look and fuel efficiency. The Civic however, is also a satisfying vehicle to travel in with significant speeds on the motorway. The Civic continued to include novel options and improved engines after its debut and embraced a spirited look for its 2009 model, supplying comforts and trims that no other auto producers offered in the compact category. The Civic is provided as two core models in Pakistan with a net of four variants in all.

Consumers in Pakistan have the alternative of getting a Civic VTi Oriel or the Civic i-VTEC both of which boast a robust 16-valve, 1800cc engine. Each type is found in an automatic and manual variation with other output associated specifications such as the bore-stroke ratio and EBD being alike. The key distinction lies in safety and interior offerings.

The Civic VTi is available with a sunroof and 5-spoke, Aluminum alloy rims with unique options like keyless remote entry and high-grade seat covers. Both types have multitude of different options like electrically driver’s seat height adjustment and power windows. In terms of safety the Civic VTi possesses airbags for the driver and also the passenger with a Pretensioner seatbelt for the passenger seat.

Consumers barely ever study these distinctions in detail prior to concluding which brand to opt for. If they did study these specifications they would see that the cost differential of approximately five to eight percent is quite significant for a tiny number of additional options with no real practical function. It is quite evident that the Civic is well-liked in Pakistan because of the quality and status connected with this automobile and it first-rate, world-famous I-VTEC engines, which allow the Civic to pull off superior output and gas saving.

The only chief contestant for either the Civic VTi or i-VTEC in the Pakistani car business is the Altis by Toyota with extremely similar specifications and efficiency. The Altis however does not come anywhere near the Civic’s intriguing appearance and enjoyable interior and customers it appears are prepared to give a generous amount of cash to buy the additional grandeur.

The Honda Fit took the market by storm in 2001. It is referred to as the Honda Jazz in Europe and parts of Asia, the Middle East and select other parts of the world. The name Honda Fit is primarily used in China, Japan and the United States. The 2009 Honda Fit uses Global Small Car Platform and is considered a subcompact vehicle.

Honda’s entry-level model is listed with an eye catching 27 miles per gallon highway rating. Impressive! Only in it’s second generation, the Fit is pushing to the front of the pack and now faster then ever with it’s all new look and feel. We sense other models are fast becoming jealous.

In 2008, we obsessively talked about the upcoming years model, wondering what Honda would unveil for the year to come. Our patience and waiting were not took in stride and Honda delivered one of the greenest and most talked about cars it has manufactured to date. Proof is in the percentage of searched online for this specific model.

The interior has been expanded for comfort and the engine was given new life by adding on just a little more power. Also new for 2009 was a longer and wider body, but no one is complaining.

Mixed emotions about restricted movements in the back seat were put to rest this year as well when extended leg room was added. Rear seating is still offering all its old tricks though, like raising the seat to form a cargo space.

Just as the 2008 model had, the 2009 still comes with a 1. 5 liter 4 cylinder engine. The difference in 2009 was the improvement to the iVTEC valve timing system in order to slightly increase the vehicles fuel efficiency. Though not a big increase, the effort has been duly noted. After all, 27 miles per gallon isn’t that bad!

Safety features on the 2009 Honda Fit are much the same as you would find in any new vehicle these days. Standard models come equipped with an antilocking brake system, both front and side curtain airbags as well as front head restraints. The Sport model has an optional stability control system but comes bundled with the navigation package option.

In closing, the 2009 Honda Fit appears to be an all in one package. Hopes of some added horsepower were disappointed this year but the future of the model is still looking bright. Those shopping for a smaller car with better gas mileage should do some research on this one, it is sure to be a perfect fit for almost any driver. At least go take a test drive to see just how sharp the handling is for yourself.
