Great video with a thorough and polished presentation.Reminds me of when 'Top Gear' actually tested cars in the '70/80's.

While this is obviously a sales video it does manage to be quite informative as well, thank you for making it (and keeping it up while I imagine it in part did manage to get the car sold quite fast )

Class video mate looking at one of these on Monday was very confused about that the gear box this has cleared everything up and put me at ease thank you

Lovely looking car. I remember seeing these 4 door Honda Civics while I was visiting England in September. We have Honda Civics here in the USA, but none like this, a 4 door hatchback.

Had a manual 1.8 06 for 2 years and loved it - I have just put down a deposit on an ishift mainly because of this review (service history and other credentials are great too though)

Top video, thoroughly enjoyed sitting back and listening. My wife and I have both owned a 2006 Honda Civic saloon's since new in Australia and 10 years later they have never broken down. Have only ever had routine maintenance. I have a honda motorbike, mower & line trimmer and they're all the same - superb design and engineering. This video makes me want to buy another - well done!

My right ear enjoyed this video. But seriously a nice and detailed review

Torque converter gearboxes are easy repairs and most reliable than modern electric and dct boxes. Sales pitch

[mikeyancell]

Having owned an ishift for 3 days now and covering 400 miles, I must say, the auto part is useless but it is an excellent clutches manual in my opinion..the best way to drive it is combining the paddles with the stick ( being a manual driver for 10 years, I am okay with that) so the stick is good for normal changes and the paddles are good for quick changes. It is as economical and as quick as my old 1.8 manual.

wow, this is a way better than what we get in north america!

[erikh]

these cars have really great looking interiors for being the age they are

[edishyti]

very helpful video. great explanation on these semiautomatic gearboxes, iShift for honda, mmt for toyota. now i have a clearer vision on these gear boxes .glad i came across this video, thanks.

Thanks for a great review, by far the best out of many I've watched! Partcularly liked your full explanation / demo of the I-shift system, I think it may well be a viable option for me. Thanks again

[delatronics]

Thanks for your information, I just purchased a 2008 Civic with iShift but it was a close decision to buy a 2009 Automatic model. The lower tax snd better fuel economy won me over. However many say Honda scrapped the iShift due to reliability problems (which I hope is rubbish)

[p.l.u.s]

Thank you for this video. I was wondering if i should buy Honda Civic 8th generation Hatchback. I loved the practicality of the model during my own research. And after you have explained I-shift gearbox in details I am definitely getting such car. Cheap to maintain automatic gearbox is perfect for me.

[tommyzoo]

It is most noticeable from first to second. But thereafter it is very smooth especially if you lift the throttle slightly between changes

[KooPrang]

I just got a civic like this, its great.

[ChandraP]

Nicely explained ..! just I have a quick question do you feel any dip feeling (revs goes down and picks up) when gear changing in automatic mode? also when you take the foot from gas will it slows down quickly ?

[ant]

loved this vid! - you just sold me a civic!

[JustTahmid]

Hi, could you make a video of only using the paddles on the civic 1.8, such as going though all the gears, revving the car out a bit more and a close up look at the paddle shifters. That would be a really good video. Thanks.
