The towing limit is exceeded by 36 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this Sprite.
Make sure the towing limit is correct.

We now give advice based on the assumption that the legal maximum towing weight is higher for your car and that the car should be allowed to tow this caravan!

The Honda Civic Tourer 1.6 i-DTEC with a Sprite Major 4 SB with an actual weight of 1436 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Honda is in general fairly good. But the weight of the Sprite with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is quite heavy. Proper and careful loading is essential and don't drive too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly!

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit is exceeded by 36 kg (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 84%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 97%.
  • The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving exist. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are so great that it could be dangerous. Only if the driver has knowledge of and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is recommended.
  • Recommended noseweight is 80 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 116 points.

If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.

Conclusion

  • Performance is fairly good.
  • Proper and careful loading is still important!
  • It's a perfect match!

 

Influence of User Payload on stability

Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.

Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.

User Reviews

Graham McKinlay reviewed a Honda Civic Tourer 1.6 i-DTEC:

"I feel more confident and comfortable now towing my Bailey Ranger GT60 500 /5 2009. Suspension was on the lower side on the rear however I installed a set of spring assisters which resolved the problem. Also keep the suspension setting to Normal. I would potentially change to tyres with more grip at the front end. I try to keep heavy items at the back of the caravan to reduce the nose weight (I.E awning). We had 1 passenger in the front. One in rear and 2 30kg dogs in the boot. "
