Well there's nothing like
Well there's nothing like someone who's sure of something, but is dead wrong anyway. That old 1.8l SOHC motor used in Civics since 2006 and now attempting to motivate the HR-V is PORT injection.
Just because Honda has a supply of Earth Dreams decals to stick on every engine they make, does not mean any given engine is direct injection. The Accord V6 is port injection, so is the 2.0l in the new base Civic.
There, now you know. And the HR-V did not do well in the C/D comparison test. The CX-3 won.
