The mid-size sedans and the latter generations and hatchbacks reflect the latest trends in the body of body design, and are also a real triumph of modern technologies and innovation.
We compared and assessed in practice the two most popular models of the middle segment, which account for a significant proportion of market sales in all countries of the world. Overview models represents the body of the sedan.
Honda Civic 4d. It is the front-wheel drive 5-local class "C". The presented model became a restyled version of the sedan of the ninth generation. The car saw the light in May 2013. The power unit for Europe and the CIS countries is available in the only gasoline atmospheric modification with a working volume of 1.8 liters. Transmission offers a choice of both "machine" and the usual "mechanics".
Ford Focus. Sedan. Refers to the restyled version of the third generation of the model. The front-wheel drive sedan for 5 seats is a representative "C" - class. The car was shown to the general public in April 2014. The gamma of power units is quite wide: from a low-pass version per 1.0 liter to 1.6 liter gasoline engine. Also available options are 1.5 and 1.6 liter diesel units. The choice of automatic and mechanical transmission is proposed.
Overview models issued in 2014. Honda is represented by a gasoline "atmospheric" by 1.8 liters and automatic box. Ford is equipped with a turbocharged gasoline engine for 1.5 liters with automatic transmission.
Honda Civic 4d.
It is worth starting with the fact that the modern model of Civic managed to maintain their individual and recognizable features in the interior design. For modern generations of "hits" of past years, this is a real rarity. At the same time, the car does not look archaic, while remaining the same embodiment of high technologies and style from the Japanese manufacturer.
The model in the front highlights a narrowed head optics, attaching and wide nose, stylish radiator grille with large cells and insertion of chromium in the lower half, as well as a stylish finish of the bottom lattice with glossy lacquered plastic with the right points of "fog" and the next lane of chromium over the bumper svet. All the same familiar and invariably stylish civic, only outraged and more tagged!
The side part is pretty and easy. Narrow side glasses have straight lines and sharp corners. There was a small roundness of the doors, which immediately closes the stamping in the lower part above the threshold. It is especially worth noting the side mirrors of the rear view. They are located on stylish and very pretty vertical racks fixed directly on the doors, and not in the glazing zone. These racks have a slight inclination from the total body plane.
The back of the stylish stop headlights using white and red plastic bands that are successfully underlined overall fires. The tiny trunk lid also flashes a lane of chromium on its edge, and the stamping under the location of the license plate creates a pretty niche for the specified element.
Ford Focus Sedan.
It was not such a simple task for the review that it was not such a simple task. The model is relatively new and more often in demand in the embodiment of the hatchback. Restyling definitely went focus benefit. Designers worked very well above the front of the model, especially above the radiator grille and the total form of body parts. It turned out such a budget Aston Martin.
The grill of the radiator looks great both with the longitudinal lines of chromium and in black. Front optics are aggressive, narrowed, has stylish yellow triangles of turn signals at the top. The straight line of the hood over the grille further enhances the similarity with the premium "Aston".
The profile of the machine looks angrily and tightened. Rounded BOK doors, a small black strip of the threshold and moderate stamping of high arches continue the note of "solid sports", which the design of the front. The side glazing zone designers worked perfectly. She does not create an impression of massiveness, but there is no strong align too. Stylish lacquered black racks between the glasses are very much going to this sedan.
It is noticeable for serious work and over the feed of the car. The trunk lid is not strong, has an improvised spoiler, which has placed an additional rectangular stop signal. The rear optics are massive, located longitudinally. It looks very modern and rapidly. The only remark gets the angle of headlights that goes on the rear wings. This "process" creates a dual impression and seems excess in the overall decoration of the stern. Unpainted black insert with a sports mesh cells at the very bottom of the bumper gives an assedlement and punching machine.
The choice of these two cars only on design is dictated by more heart, not a mind. If you are a clear adherent Honda, familiar with the model Civic of previous generations and strive to get the same, but significantly updated carthen the choice is completely obvious.
The eventable Focus could be called the perfect modern design sedan if it were not for a controversial solution in the area of \u200b\u200bthe rear lights. This is the only element that clearly contrasts with the sports and solid appearance of the car.
The winner of the comparative review of the exterior is the Ford Focus sedan, which has demonstrated excellent external data. Honda Civic Sedan also looks good, but simpler and even a bit boring, especially against the background of a bright competitor.
Salon
Honda Civic
The interior of the car looks very interesting and modern. Cockpit literally walks the driver. Sports orientation is felt, which causes the usual ordinary driver to feel himself as a real pilot behind the wheel of the Japanese sedan. Materials used in finishing, high quality, and the assembly at a great level. Soft elements are harmoniously combined with solid panels.
Seat Made of high-quality skin in the survey configuration, but the tissue versions are realized very well. Solid "snakes" of seams, a pleasant eye performance and materials. The functionality of the chairs is excellent. A wide range of accessible adjustments allows you to achieve a comfortable fit to any driver. Side back support is well developed, slightly less expressed support for the bottom pillow. A distinctive feature can be considered a reasonable elasticity of the profile.
Select the central console as the main site for the functional elements in this model will be unreasonable. The reason served as a branded concept torpedo From Honda, namely the separation of the central part into two peculiar tiers. Such a solution can be observed from other manufacturers, but it was Hondov who could do it the most harmonious. The top tier contains a solid rectangular screen of the route computer to the right of the driver, and in the center the large display of the digital tachometer is placed. The whole luxury is covered with a wide visor, which extends to the center of Torpedo. Illumination and obstacles to read information are excluded.
On the second tier, you can observe the usual layout of the elements. The blowing deflectors are almost rectangular, are located vertically and on the edges in the driver's zone. In front of the passenger only two rectangular deflector. Air ducts have edging in the form of a chromed line. Central Console Received explicit orientation on the driver. The main element becomes a multimedia system with a large screen. It has a strictly rectangular shape and small round control regulators. Closer to the driver, under the right deflector, an alarm button is separately. The location is very convenient, there are no problems in the emergency situation.
Intra-alone climate system Located under a block with music, has a small rectangular display and two regulators. Middle to the driver The larger regulator is relatively with the second. Again the emphasis is made on excellent ergonomics for the driver.
Central tunnel Made by monolith with a torpedo, but the total density of the design is violated by the appearance of a niche under climate control. It features function keys and connectors. Further on the tunnel is the lever of the PPC. He is shifted closer to the passenger chair, but from the driver's part there is a comfortable excavation for small things. The parking brake is located next to the driver's seat pillow, leaving the jacket of the pads of the cup holders. All this variety is ends with a wide armrest, which guarantees convenience on long-distance travel.
Steering wheel Light, three-spoke, multifunctional, sports type. The column is adjusted by departure and angle of inclination. The material of the trim of the rim is elite, there is no sense of slip. The thickness of the rim itself is just in order to hold the steering wheel with reliability and comfort. There are tides for the right position of hands on the steering wheel. The controls of car systems are made in the form of peculiar round "pyatackees", which we can remember on game makeup. In the processability of the Japanese sometimes you just amazed! The lower needles received a pleasant insert "under aluminum", which significantly revives the interior.
The dashboard, if you move away from the upper tier, has a large tachometer in the center itself, as well as small lines of information indicators and pictograms. The overall color of the backlight of the devices, keys and other controls has become a rich blue, white and turquoise color.
Ford Focus.
Focus meets visitors to the classic layout of its modern interior. Instantly celebrate the quality of the assembly and used materials. Soft panels, nice color shade of black on a torpedo. The fitting of the interior details is made with minimal gaps that are practically invisible, creating a sense of integrity.
Seat profile Got a comfortable form. Both tissue options and skin use are pleased with the accuracy of the stitch. A driver of any growth and a set will be able to get comfortable on the seat. It is also important that the anatomical structure of the chairs provides reliable side support in the backrest area, and the lower pillow is quite sufficient at its length. The rigidity of the filler is average, provides a balance between comfort and elasticity. Armchairs can be adjusted in all planes, including height.
The blowing deflectors protrude the main aesthetic decoration for the torpedo. They are located vertically, have a chromium contour finish. Central Console Assemble most of the functional elements of the car. Under the visor at the top hides a large 8-inch screen of a multimedia system, a whole complex called Sync 2. It is planted in a kind of niche, which eliminates interference with the perception of information on a sunny day. Under the screen is the Alarm Activation Button. Below are the multimedia system control unit. You can observe a round control with chromium finish, as well as silver buttons on the sides. Closer to the edges there are central ducts.
Climate control Located under the central console hanging over it, speaking a characteristic connecting element between the torpedo and the central tunnel. The system has information windows and round medium-sized side control. Under the climate control system, designers made a functional deepening, followed by the top of the cigarette lighter and the automatic box lever itself. There is an abundance of chromium on the automatic transmission handle. The lever itself was shifted slightly and made chrome edging it landing, leaving the space for the function buttons closer to the driver.
It is worth noting that central tunnelEspecially in its far from the torpedo of the part, somewhat alone and visually divided into two halves. The first "step" is designed by silver, the second level is slightly lower. It serves as the location of deep cup holders. Closer to the driver's chair is the handle of the parking brake. The tunnel is ends with an armrest. Its pillow has sufficient width and length, which allows you to place a hand with comfort and provides the ability to freely interact with the lever of the gearbox.
Rule Quite modest, but high quality. It has an average radius and an acceptable rim thickness. The steering wheel is three spokes, multifunctional, with the ability to set the departure and angle of inclination. Small islands with car control buttons are separated by a neat chromium string around the perimeter. The same insert has the lower needles. It looks modest, but very pretty.
Dashboard hiding under an angular visor. This form edging can be seen from dashboys, which are quite deeply planted. The left part is the arrow tachometer, and in the right speedometer. At the top, between the main devices, there is a rectangular window of the on-board route computer. Its size is pleasantly pleased with the driver. The lower part of the dashboard received pointers of the coolant temperature and the level of fuel supply in the gas tank. The backlight of the devices, buttons and regulators is made using white and turquoise.
The courage of the designers Honda caused an excitement in the early generations of the Civic model, and in the last generation this decision was brought to perfect perfection. Focus classic is no less successfully combined with modern technologies.
It is still worth recognizing that it is Honda who can really be pleasantly surprised by its owner with unconventional, but very effective solutions. Feel one whole with the "car" Civic is definitely more interesting. Boring just merge with a good, but familiar interior of Ford Focus. It is the brave design of the front of the interior of Honda brings the model a confident victory for excellent design!
Challenges
Honda Civic I embodied all the qualities of the family, not a driver car. Yes, torpedo with his perky design introduces into ecstasy, but the machine does not become the "fighter" from this. The engine thrust is sufficient for all staff situations, and he will begin to bring their noise only with 4 thousand revolutions.
The machine works softly and smoothly, no jerks. There is a corporate mode "Eco", which is included on the Honda green button. Also pleases the sport-mode, it is very honest and turns the motor to the cutoff itself. In aggregate with submissive petals, it turns out quite well! The reactions to gas become sharp, and at any speed.
The suspension demonstrates a successful balance between handling and comfortable component. Installing new springs of increased rigidity went to the machine for the benefit. The model feels well when passing small and medium irregularities, can give comfort. But now there are no rolls in turn, and the rear multi-dimensional suspension perfectly holds the car on a given trajectory. But before breaking, bring the suspension easily, it is relatively short-terrestrial.
The steering wheel is typical for the city sedan. He is light, there is no excessive informativeness and sharpness. Steering settings are sharpened under a calm rate.
Honda brakes everywhere disk, reliable and sharp closer to the middle of the pedal. You can brake softly with the correct dosage of effort when you click on the pedal. Again the hint of the dimension, calm and comfort.
Ford Focus More promises in advertising booklets relatively with the fact that the car gives in reality. The turbocharged semi-liter engine is distinguished by a decent range of confident traction on turns from 1500 and up to 5000. Yes, there is a pull, but the emotions of the speaker does not cause.
The work of the automatic box does not have serious comments, but the light shoes "Robot" still showed. List of box modes is typical for similar technical solutions.
The chassis is a standard set: MacPherson in front and an independent multi-dimensional suspension from behind. The machine is configured to comfortable movement, successfully smoothes the small structure of asphalt and reasonable irregularities. More rougher pits respond to the deaf efforts of the working suspension, and harsh failures can be terminated at all. The car has a tendency to drift on rear axisSo it is recommended to think about the presence of an ESP system.
It is worth praiseing noise insulation of the model. It has noticeably improved relatively with Ford Focus of the previous generation. Steering Clear and more configured for comfort than an active drive. The steering wheel is easy to twist in the parking lot, and its informativeness and speed at speed is somewhat different.
Disc brakes on all 4 wheels have good efficiency, except the free course of brake pedal is slightly viable.
The main characteristic of the driving qualities of visual models is becoming significant emphasis on comfortable movement in urban conditions. The power of Ford Focus, which is 90% of the time in the city, can be considered even excessive, and its achievement with the use of the turbine and at all attributed to the minuses of the machine. The dependence and durability of such engines from high-quality fuel is no longer a secret.
Honda Civic provides an OBS option easier, but more reliable and time-tested. Only clearance can be attributed to the significant minuses of Honda. The suspension may seem a bit tough, but the controllability and stability of the machine at height.
Considering all of the above, the winner at this stage of comparison is Honda Civic, which demonstrates the best balance of driving qualities, as well as a good performance indicator and successfully selected settings of the chassis.
Capacity
Honda Civic No outstanding in its class is not allocated. The width of the width is quite enough on the front row of the seats. You can also note a small stock over the driver's head and front passenger.
The rear row is ready to take three, but a comfortable trip is provided only by two seats. Above the head is even less compared with the first next. Fire stock is enough, let's say thanks to the decent wheelbase.
The luggage compartment has a narrow loading opening and middle depth. Also observed small limitations in height. Nothing amazing, simple trunk of the city sedan for bags, medium-sized boxes and household boots.
Ford Focus It has a decent margin of free space in the cabin, especially for its class. With a height and width on the front row, there are no problems.
The rear row is traditionally for two widths, although the third passenger can well be placed, but with damage to the rest. Places for legs are enough, there is also a small supply in height.
The trunk has modest passport indicators of the capacity, but in fact not everything is so bad. The first plus is a good compartment ergonomics and the width of the loading opening. The second one can attribute the height that is not inferior to competitors in this class.
It is more profitable at this stage the Ford Focus looks like, as the car's salon wins at the capacity, and the luggage compartment is not significantly inferior to classmate Honda Civic.
Economy
A more technological Ford Focus is ahead of Honda Civic in its economy, but it is worth considering the greater demanding of this model to the quality of fuel and fuel.
Safety
Basic model Honda Civic:
- side pillows
- safety curtains
- Brake Assist.
Basic Ford Focus model:
- frontal driver / passenger airbags
- side pillows
The result of the EURO NCAP crash test: 5 stars.
A comparative analysis defines the Honda Civic winner by the number of active and passive security systems. The Ford Focus sedan is practically no less inferior to Honda, but the list of basic options at the Japanese was wider.
Price
- The average price of the base model Honda Civic is 28,000 US dollars.
- The average price of the Basic Ford Focus model in the hatchback body is 24,000 US dollars. Sales Sedan Sales will begin in the summer of 2015.
Using the example of the Sedana Honda Civic, it is clearly seen that the former adherent of the sports lava changed his courage to efficiency and comfort. But you just look, what focus threw back in the answer Ford Focus ...
These two cars have already met in comparative martial arts ("AC" No. 46'2006). Since then, their generations have changed, as well as the world learned new technologies of motor construction. And here the heirs Ford Focus and Honda Sivic demonstrate their new opportunities and achievements. And we use our system for their assessment, which then seven years ago, has not yet been developed.

Spacious, convenience and practicality
Ford Focus immediately demonstrates the best body fitness to our realities - to deep pits, high brings, sticking out of the ground "surprises", and in winter - to a major forefamil. Thresholds and lower parts of bumpers, which are in the risk area, in "focus" are closed with black non-colored plastic. Whereas with careless parking or driving in Sivique, you can damage the paintwork of the bottom of the body. But this, like the worst visibility, our real compensates for the presence of a rear view camera and parking sensors that are not only in the basic version of the model and which are not available from a competitor. Initially, more saturated equipment also determines the cost of Sivik. In addition, in contrast to the opponent, Honda does not ask for an extra charge for the "Metallic" color.
But for the quality of materials in the Ford cabin easily earn more points. Its interior looks more presentable, the upper part of the torpedo is covered with soft plastic. And as soon as you get behind the wheel, they immediately get into friendly strong arms of developed rollers side support of the chair. And the legs front seats Focus support better. So on the front row in this car it is more convenient.
Honda Civic is everywhere hard plastic, which looks like, and easier. In addition, the one-year-old car has a "experienced" view. Seat "Sivik" is softer, and auto aspects to go to a comfortable, calm and relaxed ride.
On the front row of Focus in the legs and above the head is noticeably spacious, and the driver's chair has a much larger movement range. But recreated back, we see the reverse picture. Although the Focus sofa is sitting deeper and above the head slightly more space, but the average passenger interferes with a transmission tunnel and a protruding armrest between the front seats. Yes, and it is not very convenient to keep passengers here - there are no handles over the opening, and the door is too far reckled and inconvenient in the girth - wide and flat. But getting out of the second row of this car easier, as its doorway is lower and the threshold is less high.
Taking on the second row of Honda, you need to fit under the lower roof arch. But here is a smooth floor and there are knobs over your head. Due to the larger wheelbase, even with a longer pillow of a soft sofa on the second row in Honda Civic more space for knees.
Both cars allow you to increase the volume of the trunk, folding the backs of the seats of the rear row. In Ford it can be made from the cabin, in Honda - from the trunk. But closing the luggage compartment, in the "focus" you take care of the loop from the inside of the cover, while in Sivique, you can only take the lid from above.

Three against four
Ford Focus - Cute car. And therefore, it is still unusual to observe the engine with a volume of 1.0 liters under his hood. Ford fights for economics and environmental friendliness to a radical decrease in the volume of the motor, and so that the car is still normal, the unit equipped the turbine ("AC" No. 52'2012). And let the power of such an engine inferior to Hondovsky, but the torque develops the corresponding, moreover, in a much wider range of revolutions. In a less volumetric ford engine, at the expense of the turbine, the maximum 170 nm is available from 1500 rpm. To get 174 nm in Honda, its motor has to be twisted to 4300 rpm.
Of course, the Ford Focus could be selected with closer in the characteristics - the 1.6-liter capacity of 125 liters. with., But, first of all, it is offered on a more expensive version of Trend Plus with automatic transmission of PowerShift, and secondly - we compare not only cars, but also technology. And they are just more in the "Lithing" turbo engine. At the same time, his 125-strong version we did not choose because at the time of the test the cars with him were not brought to Ukraine yet.
But with Honda Civic is all easier. This sedan is on long-term resource tests in our edition ("AC" No. 38'2012) and is offered in Ukraine with only one engine. But during the last update of the model, its 1.8-liter 142-strong motor also took a step towards ecology and savings - got the ECON mode.
The Ford engine for a second did not remind you that it has only 3 cylinders and a liter of working volume. It's not enough thrust if the turns fall below 2000 rpm, and the rest of the time the engine smoothly, but quickly spins and gently speeds up the car. Even in the rustic discomfort during overtops does not occur. At the most tops, the engine is fading, but the promoted engine comes into the cabin a quiet "odd" drakestock like that they publish the SUBARU engines. And in general, the movement is very similar to driving on a car with atmospheric aggregates of 1.5-1.6 liters.
During the test of dynamic characteristics using the V-Box Mini device, the Ford Focus sedan was met in the claimed indicators. Although it was noticeably gone in acceleration to 100 km / h Honda Civic. But after being driving, you will not say that. The Atmospheric Motor "Sivika" has a less explosive character and gains momentum is not so famously as its turbocharged opponent. This is especially felt in economical ECON mode. But even if it is turned off, the reaction of the power unit is sharpened slightly. The truly engine "comes to life" on the most tops. However, this behavior is familiar, because Honda's motors have always been "twisted." And this 1.8-liter unit is no exception. On the high revolutions Civic allows you to go actively and fun.
The elasticity of these machines of these machines is similar, but the work of the mechanical transmission more like more in Focus. The lever moves with soft elasticity, but the turn is simultaneously clear and short. On his background, "handle" in Civic has lighter and less clear move.

One more comfortable, more reliable
On the way, Ford Focus goes, with pleasant elasticity reacting to irregularities. Although at the same time you feel more in the cabin. Whereas in Honda Civic, the traffic cannons defects are noticeable weaker. On smooth irregularities, Civic is more swaying, but even large potholes and hollows suspension absorbs well. Although with sharp maneuvers, the validity and demolition of the front axle appear stronger.
No matter how you like the Honda Civic steering wheel in high-speed protracted turns, with sharp maneuvers Ford turned out to be more reliable and acute in control. This sedan is better kept at the "rearrangement" and reacts sharper by turning the ram. He has a noticeably sharper steering wheel - 2.7 turns from the stop until the stop against 3.2 turns in Honda. Yes, and clarity in the management of Civic less. Its steering wheel with a more blurred olomulous zone in the estrimal situation is too light and "long". And during the details of the same obstacle, it has to turn it stronger, and the reaction of the car is later. We try to exacerbate the situation, refuse to help electronics.
The ability to disable the Ford stabilization system hid deeper in the on-board computer menu. But even when you turn off the electronics, in an extreme situation, it still works. In Honda, a simple button on a torpedo electronic assistant is turned off completely.

|
All "tricks" are equipped with suspension with sports shock absorbers. Therefore, on the irregularities of Ford reacts sharper. |
You have to manage Sivikom with a lighter steering wheel. Rolls are stronger, but this is a payback for the best comfort on irregularities. |
 |
 |
On both side mirrors, Focus has aspherical sectors. Front body racks shifted back, but have a more massive base, although they practically do not overlap the review. |
At the Civic increasing review sector only on the left mirror, but the road in the front rack area is visible better. Overview Back Worsen the head restraints of the rear row and narrower glass. |
We fight with "cockroaches"
For each of these machines there are certain prejudices. But life changes and need to part with them. Do not meet all the innovations in the bayonets. So, buyers are still confused by the 1.0-liter Ford engine. But with the "motorcycle" volume, it perfectly copes with the C-class sedan. Although that motor Focus I am inferior in dynamics and maximum speed, but its suspension, steering wheel and lever are denser and elastic, which makes the control of the machine is pleasant for the active driver. But this is exactly what the Civic has always appreciated.
But if about Honda Civic used to be told about the car for active drivers, now it is worth getting tidying with the thought that this car is more careful not about the sports ambitions of the owner, but about his comfort and leaning.

Ford trunk less, but the opening in the cabin is not limited as much as in Honda. Complete form compartment and much more convenient. Under the floor of the trunk in both machines are "Socks". |

Summary ford.
Body and Comfort |
|
| Along the bottom perimeter, the body is closed with an unpainted plastic. More qualitative materials. Review is better. Seats provide more reliable supports in turns. | The salon is already in the shoulders. The trunk has a smaller volume. |
Power unit and dynamics |
|
| More expensive service is compensated by the fact that the interservice interval is greater. The engine has a wide shelf of the maximum torque and nothing gives out its small volume ... | ... True, fuel consumption - at the level of the aggregates of 1.5-1.6 liters. |
Finance and Equipment |
|
| Both vehicles offer several complete sets, but additional options are available for Ford Focus, which allows it to reveal the score. However, a significant gap from the opponent provides a much more attractive initial cost. | Part of the useful Fords for a 100-strong modification is available. For the sedan, it is necessary to pay extra 5000 UAH. |
Resume Honda
Body and Comfort |
|
| On hard irregularities, this sedan is noticeably more comfortable and smaller. Seats are also softer. | Less range of driver's seat and place above head in the cabin. |
Power unit and dynamics |
|
| According to the dynamics and maximum speed, Civic easily played points from his opponent. And slows down Honda more confident. Not only mechanical, but also automatic transmission is proposed. | There is a big difference between the usual mode and the ECON. The clarity of the inclusion of transmissions is below. |
Finance and Equipment |
|
| Honda already in the "base" has options that are for a competitor are offered for an additional fee. Such equipment is available as the heating of the front seats, the rear view camera, Bluetooth, electric folding mirrors, parking sensors. Sedan Honda Civic Cheaper hatchback at 7300 UAH. | Auto with a 1.8-liter motor falls under the action of specialness and it turns out noticeably more. |

Yes, you are right: new Mazda3 would be perfectly fit into this company. But we did the test in September, when there were no serial "tresk" in Moscow yet. Wait? We wanted to have time to cold, to carry out measurements and find out who is faster - not on the "passport", but on the dynamometer road of the auto-polyignon.
About the dynamics later, but for now ... what handsome man! Or beauties, to someone like a male. True, with the go, without looking at the emblems, immediately and you will not understand, in front of you Honda or still Toyota. The new Corolla was so pulled and loose that it can be taken for Civic. And only then you notice that the "real Honda" and the muzzle is sharpened in fool, and the roof is stronger than.
Corolla - as an rye bread: there is no raisum in it, but calorie and satisfying
Covered with leather pad on the panel, dual-zone climate control And the combined upholstery seats is Corolla in the version of Prestige Plus

But Focus is definitely not confused with anyone. Is that with the same-name hatchback, and even then only in front - they have different silhouettes. And the volume of the trunk too: if the hatch includes seven boxes of mail of Russia, then in the sedan - twelve! However, Fordovskaya "Storeroom" turned out to be the least spacious in Trio: 13 parcels placed in Civic, and we managed to put 14 boxes in Corolla. Loading the luggage in Toyota is a pleasure: the "stalactites" of the body amplifiers do not grow in the trunk cave, as in Honda, and Laz is much more than in Ford. In addition, only the Corolla on the back of the lid has a closing handle.
Toyotov's chairs are pleased with the fortress of hugs, a good profile and sufficient rigidity, but the lumbar side is not regulated
Corolla 1.8 with the variator follows the gas pedal, like a fish on a hook - neither the Hondovsky Automatic Machine, nor the Fords "preselement" is not able to provide such ease of speed control

Toyota passengers are no less friendly than to the cargo. It is in Civic you need to drive curly, the removal head from contact with a low roof slide. This Focus makes the legs in the boots of forty-second size, stuck between the middle rack and the rear sofa pillow. And in the Corolla you just sit down, easy and free. Toyota makes it regret except that there is no handrails on the doors and air deflectors in the center. The worst is that even behind a basketball player, a man of medium height is sitting, without touching his knees of the back of the front armchair! With Honda, not to mention more tesne Ford, you can not even compare: the stock in the legs there as much as eight centimeters less.
Honda Civic has never been to sales records in the Russian market, but he always found its buyers. The situation with Ford Focus 3 is the opposite is the most-selling C-class model in Russia, which confidently keeps its position is no longer the first generation.
What kind of these cars choose? "Third" Ford Focus boasts higher quality materials than Honda Civic. The interior of the car looks more presentable, and the front panel is made of soft and pleasant plastic. Sitting behind the wheel, in the "focus" you get into comfortable seats with developed lateral support, while "Civic" front armchairs are wider, with a less developed profile, which set up for a comfortable, relaxed and quiet ride. But plastic in Honda Civic hard, and visually he looks easier. On the front row of the seats in Ford Focus is spacious and in the legs, and above the head, and the driver's seat has a large range of adjustments.
The back is a little different picture - yes, in "focus" more space above your head, but the average passenger delivers the inconvenience of the "transmission tunnel" and the armrest between the front seats. In Honda Civic, smooth floor, there are handles above your head, and thanks to the larger wheelbase of the knee space more. But access back to Ford is easier thanks to the lower door and less high threshold.
Volume luggage compartment Honda Civic sedan is 440 liters, hatchback - 477 liters. Under the floor there is a set of tools and a dance. For this parameter, Ford Focus http://auto.ironhorse.ru/category/usa/ford/focus is noticeably losing to his classmate: the sedan has 372 liters, the hatchback is 277 liters. However, at its disposal a full-size spare wheel, which attaches more confidence on Russian roads.
Four gasoline engines, one diesel and two transmissions are offered for Ford Focus 3 on the Russian market. The gasoline line is represented by three 1.6-liter motors, with a capacity of 85, 105 and 125 horsepower, and a 2.0-liter aggregate issuing 150 horsepower. Diesel engine The volume of two liters has at its disposal 140 horsepower. They work in a pair with a 5-speed "mechanical" or 6-range ACP POWERSHIFT.
On the background of "focus" Honda Civic looks poor - this is the only one gas engine 1.6 liters with a capacity of 141 horsepower, which is aggregated with mechanical transmission On six gears or 5-speed automatic.
All Ford Focuses 3 http://auto.ironhorse.ru/category/usa/ford/focus/focus-3 have suspension with sports shock absorbers. The car holds the car confidently, it reacts on unevenness with pleasantly elasticity, but in the cabin they are felt very noticeable. In Honda Civic, road defects are not as noticeable, even large potholes and bumps are absorbed by the suspension confidently, although it is also harsh. When turning turns, rolls on Honda Civic is stronger. The steering on the Ford Focus is more reliable and acute, it reacts sharper to the drum's movement, confidently keeps during rebuilding. Management in Honda Civic is less clear.
The initial price for Ford Focus 3 sedan looks much more attractive than on Honda Civic - 580 500 against 779,000 rubles, on the hatchbacks - 570 500 against 869,000 rubles, respectively. However, this is explained by several factors: the base "focus" is equipped with only an 85th power engine, and the equipment is noticeably poorer: two front airbags, only two power windows, ABS and electric mirrors, will have to be paid separately for air conditioning. The "Basic" Honda Civic fits a 141-strong motor, and the list of its equipment includes eight airbags, air conditioning, electric windows of all doors, full-time "music", outer mirrors with electric drive and heating, ABS, VSA, Hill Start Assist. The most expensive Ford Focus 3 in the body of the sedan is estimated in the amount of 866,500 rubles, hatchback - 856 500 rubles. The top sedan Honda Civic is offered at a price of 939,000 rubles, hatchback - 1,099 rubles. In general, in terms of the cost "Focus" looks more attractive "Civic", and moreover, additional options are available for the first.

External appearance Honda Civic and Ford Focus
Both cars have a modern and well-memorable appearance, while Focus has more classical forms, while in Honda decided to experiment a little, as evidenced by the feed of the hatchback, which from the point of view of the Wow-effect wins the competitor. On the other hand, such a decision is controversial in terms of practicality, but now is not about that.
Ford Focus "Morda" flashes with modern head optics, an elegant falseradiator lattice and a relief hood. The car profile demonstrates the blowing wheel arches, the dome-shaped roof line and stylish wheels, while the feed is highlighted with large overall lights and a massive rear spoiler.
Honda Civic is also not lagging behind the competitor and pleases the eye with expressive optics, a dynamic profile hidden in rear racks Handles of doors and, as we have already spoken, original feed.
From the point of view of design, both cars deserve high marks, so we will not decide to highlight the favorite.

Internal design Honda Civic VS Ford Focus
Ford Focus Salon demonstrates a well-known Front Torpedo Architecture, Good Finishing Materials and Good Build Quality.
Before the driver, there is a comfortable Multi-Multiple, as well as well readable dashboardrepresented by several analog dials and a small screen of the route computer.
The central part of the Torpedo demonstrates a large display of the multimedia system, a separate control unit for music and climate installation.
The five-seater salon is such not only in theory, but also in practice. The front passengers are offered comfortable chairs with sufficient adjustments, as well as good lateral support.
The rear sofa can easily accommodate three saddles, and there is enough free space in all three directions.
Against the background of a competitor, the Honda Civic salon looks more original, which seems the merit of the bail front torpedo, at the top of which there is a pair of displays, one of which is displayed information of the digital speedometer, and on the second - clock and other necessary information.
At the bottom of the "tidy" there are several wells with analog dials, which are perfectly read at any time of the day. The central part of the torpedo is assigned to the multimedia system, as well as an audio and climate control unit.
As in the case of Ford Focus, the Salon Civic is designed for five saddles. The front chairs can boast a sports profile, as well as a wide range of adjustments, including adjusting lumbar support rollers.
The second row of seats offers sufficient amount of free space in width and length, but the reserve above the head, as they say, in principle, which is why the tall passengers may experience discomfort.
The focus trunk volume is 316 liters in a five-seater layout and 1215 liters with lowered rear sofa backs. But the volume of the trunk Civic is 477 and 1378 liters, respectively, which makes the car more practical.
