Its nothing like that since it is a new model... everyone posts about the crashes be it civic or corolla. Wheb the shape blends in becomes old people dont give a crap about its crash.
If you look at the damage to these cars posted in this thread it becomes obvious that they were way above 120kmph... at such speeds its more of the driver and speed factor rather then the car...
If you compare 8th and 9th gen then I would say all cars have mind of their own and will react differently at high speeds. We even same car but with more passengers react differently.
If would have believe the argument if crashes were happening under 100kmph with problems like abs not kicking etc.
Secondly this civic has front crumple zone which previous model didnt have as when it hits something the damage looks more horrible then it actually is.

All accidents posted here are severe ones. They have nothing to do with tyres. Good tyres won't save you if you're a moron driving at 160km/h on a road that permits a speed of 80. Or they won't save you if another moron crashes into you.

even in europe the crash-tests are conducted on speed way lower than we actually love to crash these machines at. no crash-test is conducted at speeds over 120kph.. acceleration of these modern light weight cars with sensitive accelerator pedals is much higher than a civic from the past.. people need to upgrade their brains too..

Very rightly said.
More over you get the same 15" Alloys with same sized tyres worldover. We cannot blame the car or its components for rash driving which is evident from the posted pictures.

I'd also want to point out that adding 17-inch wheels on a car that is designed for 15-inch ones isn't exactly a smart move. You're damaging the suspension, making the ride uncomfortable, and not to mention these oversized tyres don't even look good (subjective). Adding BMW sized tyres on a Civic deserves its own public awareness thread in my opinion.

The same car comes with 16s and 17s in international market. Using 15s and encouraging the use of this size is only a cost saving strategy of IMC whilist Euro Star does not manufacture tyres bigger then 15 inch size.

Every one blame
Reckless neglected driving behaviour of drivers.
This is sure accidents happed for this reason
My point is these accidents r swerve.
Other point is all stock cars
Not even body kitted or got bigger rims
Nor even riced for reckless driving behaviour... as mostly people think for riced cars.
Mostly People point out they buy worthy cars n thinks they bought rocket or else..
m not agree with these type of comments..
I've started this post cus had experienced some thing bad already mentioned.

I dont think All the 9th gen civic crashes due to drivers fault or after market stuff but there is something wrong with the car i bet you

There is nothing wrong with the car as soon as you treat it like a family car or an ordinary vehicle. I see people are uploading videos on fb doing 150+ km/h on 2 way traffic road even without seat belts buckled on this very civc. What else one can expect?

Today's most popular operating systems

Windows is still No. 1, but as the PC market continues to decline, it only has less than half of the market.

By Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols for Between the Lines | January 9, 2017 -- 20:53 GMT (04:53 GMT+08:00) | Topic: Windows

Windows is still the most popular end-user operating system, but it's now used by less than half of the visitors to the federal government's websites.

Windows has fallen to less than half of web visitors to US government websites.

The Federal Digital Analytics Program (DAP) reports that while Windows is the most popular end-user operating system, it's dropped below 50 percent to 49.2 percent. This is based on 2.17 billion visits over the past 90 days to more than 400 executive branch government domains across about 5,000 total websites, including every cabinet department.

That's quite a drop. According to DAP, Windows accounted for 58.4 percent of all government website visitors in March 2015.

Looking closer, you can see Windows' loss didn't come because users are switching to other desktop operating systems. MacOS still comes in at No. 2, with 9.2 percent. All other operating systems, with Chrome OS leading the way at 1.1 percent, amount to only 2 percent.

True, other sites show desktop Linux gaining serious market share. NetMarketShare reports Linux has held more than two percent of the market since June 2016, while W3counter reports that Linux accounted for 3.80 percent of desktops in December 2016. However, since neither site broke out Chrome OS, I suspect that vast majority of these gains go to Chrome OS' credit rather than traditional Linux desktops.

The real reason Windows has sunk below the 50-percent mark is that smartphones and tablets are continuing to grow while the desktop keeps shrinking. The PC still accounts for 59 percent of the total government website visitors, but smartphones -- at 35.1 percent -- keep growing.

As Ranjit Atwal, a Gartner research director, recently said: "The PC market has been on a downward trend for five years and we've lost around 25 percent of the market over that time. It's starting to hit bottom and we expect that to steady moving forward as businesses, rather than consumers start to refresh their PCs."

So, it shouldn't come as too much of a shock that the No. 2 end-user operating system is Apple iOS, with 22.9 percent. Hefty price-tag and all, we love our now decade-old iPhones.

No. 3 is Android, with 16.8 percent. The other mobile operating systems? What other mobile operating systems? Windows Phone and Blackberry are well on their way to extinction.

Breaking Windows down, you'll find that Windows 7 is still on top. StatCounter may claim that Windows 10 surpassed Windows 7 in December 2016, but neither NetMarketShare nor DAP agree.

NetMarketShare and StatCounter are both popular for their operating system and web browser measurements, but their numbers are massaged. Both companies use different methodologies. Their results often vary for reasons that don't appear to have any rhyme or reasons. The DAP numbers, while US-centric, are vendor-neutral and are based purely on user data.

By DAP's count, Windows 7 still has a serious lead -- 26.2 percent to 17.2 percent -- over Windows 10. The never-popular Windows 8 family's Windows 8.1 is a distant third, with 3.5 percent. XP, with a mere 0.9 percent, is finally out its way out the door. Vista (0.7 percent) and Windows 8 (0.6 percent) are barely hanging on.

What it all means is that while Windows is still the top desktop operating system dog, the desktop has clearly fallen to second place for end-users. We have become, like it or not, mobile users first and desktop users second.
