Ford Focus 2008 vs Honda Civic
More recently, with konveera Ford plant in Germany came first the updated Ford Focus 2008. Many have not seen it, yet not formally been presented to a new focus in the body “sedan” … And he has already defying Honda Tsivik! How to end this fight read more …
The emergence of an updated model of Ford Focus 2 seriously increased competition in the segment C, but do not believe that other companies have nothing to offer in return. Because we previously rejected the idea to hold monotest and newcomer picked up a company from one of the most popular models in this class. Thus, the second member of our test - extravagant Honda Civic. Selected cars brings us yet another thing in common, this time, rather, the marketing wing. Get the keys to the new Ford Focus will be able to not less than four months after purchase. A Honda Civic and the expectation is could take a year.
Born in Europe, Focus is not the first year very successfully produced and sold on both sides of the Atlantic. In terms of appearance - the most colorful and controversial machine. Let her design a kinetic seem admirable, but another scare sharper transitions from plane to plane, it is obvious that this car is made by opponents of bleak utilitarian. It is a pity that so brave attire usually destined to a short life (against the backdrop of more ostromodnyh they rapidly lose their freshness), but the original Focus, easily stands out in the flow of cars ironically corners string up lights.
Talking about the design of Ford Focus hardly makes sense - in Russia is perhaps one of the most familiar looking cars. Appearance Honda not proportionate and graceful as a Ford. But its form is very original and it all kind of gives the impression of his muscular athlete.
The huge eye-headlights Ford Focus makes the front of the car is very expressive. The car becomes like a beast thanks to them, with big, kind eyes.
With regard to the salon, it is against this backdrop that the most advantageously viewed Salon Focus. Even visually, it is perceived as more luxurious. Yes, and tactile familiarity with the finishing materials are not left in the soul of oppressive sadness. Some buyers of the classic features of the central console may seem somewhat boring. However, with all its «burger» Ford interior does not look inside too simple or old-fashioned.
Special attention is given to the suspension хочеться new Ford Focus. Engineers Ford found a good compromise between handling and comfort. Behavior Focus, fly in to turn vykruchennym «in the clink» motor, it is becoming a textbook example for good manners peredneprivodnyh: fast, smooth but skid by dumping «Gas» and at least a clear return on the trajectory. This suspension is not removed at the heart irregularities, but allow the cover securely and quickly to the car through the arc, even at not very smooth surface. However, the ability to tune the chassis fordovskih professionals like racing, and mass-produced cars is common.
Fans of charismatic Honda Civic dazedly to examine a new Japanese model. The most spacious in the class cabin with flat floor, where the rear passenger growth of 192 cm is not short of knees to the front seats adjusted «by themselves». Compact and sophisticated rack McPherson, replaced the front double levers. Ample chairs, cushions acumen weakened lateral support.
However, felt that podnatorevshim sport Honda designers still had to deal with the case is not quite usual. The new suspension is much softer former, but not too comfortable on the bump and can not keep a car from a strong vertical raskachki on the road the waves, but on «devoured» asphalt is not always able to withstand the trajectory accurately in a fast turn. More about the controllability of saying nothing. Here is ample salon a success - a third passenger rear has no need to ottaptyvat legs neighbors. However, transport costs have made the car quite expensive, and forced the Japanese to save on small things - even brilliantly, but to mimic the soft plastic in the decoration.
Salon’s new Ford Focus is also not satisfactory, materials have slightly improved. At the rear is also without any problems can accommodate 3 passengers, but they will feel themselves less comfortable than the Honda Civis.
Honda is much sharper and extreme than the Ford. Amateur car may seem redundant, even nervous, but the true connoisseur will understand that this is real racing donors.
Horse power from Honda - the rest of uneven tax. The modest figures for the unit actually possesses all the same fantastic traction, but now - for the entire range of speed! Quietly chant the song of victory, he, in response to light «message» pedal throw the car forward as easily as if he has to carry half a ton less than the competitors. And not even the most modern «machine» not able to contain this pressure! It seems, then the Japanese managed to outbid even the Germans with their textbook pragmatism: If you already have supermotor gap and space for passengers, which still require a car?
So what car is better? What we liked more? On this question it is impossible to give a definite answer. These machines are very similar, and both are very different. More correct to say to different people.

The conclusion is clear. If you need a good city car then your choice of Ford Focus. And if you sometimes have to satisfy their ambitions on the road, if you want to get shot if you’re willing to keep the engine speed under 6 thousand, if you can not drive safely, then clearly, your car is Honda Civic. The recommendations are useless, because we are so different - just like cars, which are chosen.
