FD is the 8th generation of civics and FB is the 9th generation.
FB has  Honda i-MID, USB, Multi-link Suspension , Projector Headlamps over the old FD series. Also different styling.

But IMO double Wishbone suspension in FD is considered superior than the multi-link

And FD has unique styling.
They say the FD series Typer R (FD2R) is the last real NA Typer R!
Also the 8th generation dashboard is just beautiful.

Almost same mileage. It's the same R series engine.

But never buy a Honda if you are that concerned with fuel consumption. Buy a premio or Allion. 

There are times i get only 7kmpl with heavy footed driving in my FD1. But IMO the experience is worth that 1000 bucks of fuel!

Thanks For your information. FYI, this will be my first car and my first choice also was a honda civc. But just confused with FB and FD series and what should i pick.

well if you are okay with the styling and won't mind the price go for the FB!
( But be mindful FB is close to 5 mil now and the new Civic Turbo Hatch is only 6 mil. So it's a tough decision if you have money)

But If your budget is around 4mil and not beyond that buy a well maintained FD!
FD is anyway depreciated now so it will hold value. I'm using a FD1 for more than a year now and so far no complains. Just don't expect Toyota like fuel economy!

yes that's pretty achievable if you don't drive like a maniac lol. Best I've got is 15.14 kmpl on a round trip to Talaimannar! Overall trip was over 800 km (We went to wilpattu too)
