Home About Us Car Reviews Ford Focus TDCI Review Honda Civic CTDI Review Contact Us Sitemap You are here: home Honda Civic reviews & road test (2.2 ctdi diesel) Honda Civic Ctdi Review If you're looking to buy a new Honda Civic, this UK owner's review and road test will prove helpful. It reviews a Honda Civic 2.2 CTDi Diesel ES specification car, covering all aspects of buying a new or used Honda Civic with some useful before you buy tips from UK Honda dealers. The new Euro Honda Civic is an sporty car with beautiful lines and a radically different shape from the previous Civic, aimed at increasing the car's appeal to a younger clientele. The all new design has considerable Italian influence as the Japanese designer spent time in Italy formulating a truly unique and beautiful concept car. To complement the range, the new Honda Civic type R is now launched offering exhilarating performance and superb handling. The new model Civic Type R is equipped with a 204BHP 2.0 litre i-VTEC engine, capable of 0 - 60mph in 6.4 seconds and a maximum speed of 146mph. UK Honda Civic Car Review Conclusion Overall Rating : New Honda Civic Reviews < Worse 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Better > Practicality, handling, performance, engine refinement, innovative instrumentation Problems with rattles, build quality, firm ride, rear visibility, disappointing fuel economy Buy a Honda Civic - Buyer's Tips Before you buy a Honda Civic (new or used) in the UK, road test the car and check for trim rattles. The headlining of the car can rattle on 06 registration cars fitted with the panoramic roof. UK Honda dealers are aware of this problem and can fix it. The firm ride of the UK Honda Civic can emphasize potholes in many road surfaces. We were advised by Clover Leaf Cars to buy a ES model Honda Civic fitted with 16 inch alloy wheels as cars fitted with 17 inch alloy wheels (including the EX specification car) have a firmer ride. The Honda dealers advice was good as a new Civic fitted with 16in alloys has good ride quality. All new model Honda Civic cars are supplied without a space saving spare tyre as it has a "get you home" flat tyre repair kit. This saves on vehicle weight and increases the available boot storage space. A space saver spare tyre can be purchased separately at around £100 +VAT. UK Honda dealers are not known for generous new car discounts, but close to month end they can offer cheap deals on new Honda Civic cars, when the spotlight is on monthly sales targets.Often Honda dealers will offer new car discounts of £300 to £500 on a new Civic so it's worth haggling for the best deal and trade-in price. Since used Honda Civic cars (2006 '56 and '07 plate) are only £1500 less than new car prices, it is often worth considering purchasing new as many used Honda Civics are ex-Enterprise hire cars. Driving & Handling - Road Test A road test of a Honda Civic 2.2 diesel reveals that the car is great to drive, offering excellent handling and road holding with little body roll when cornering. However, the Civic's steering doesn't offer quite the same 'hands on feel' and 'connection with the road' as the new shape Ford Focus, feeling a little more imprecise and vague at times. The new Civic has a fully adjustable driving position with a number of seat and steering column adjustments. The sporty 6 speed manual gearbox fitted in our 2.2 CTDi ES is easy to manage and has sensibly spaced gear ratios (6th gear being around 35mph / 1000rpm). The refinement and performance of the Euro Honda Civic 2.2 CTDi engine is simply amazing. With 140PS at 4000rpm and 340Nm or torque at just 2000rpm the refined Common Rail diesel engine has twice low speed torque of the 1.8 V-TEC, which means it feels significantly faster on the road, with 0 to 62 mph taking just 8.6 seconds. On the road the car feels very fast with excellent acceleration and mid range torque a plenty. This together with excellent fuel economy and low emissions, makes the new Honda Civic diesel an attractive small family car to buy. The new Type R Honda Civic (launched in March 2007) has performance that matches the old Type R Civic on paper, with 0 to 62mph in just 6.4 seconds. Type R brochures are now available from UK Honda dealers. Driving and Handling : New Honda Civic Review < Worse 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Better > Comfort & Refinement Even though the new Honda Civic has a firm ride, it still proves very comfortable on all but the worst of UK road surfaces (remember our buyer's tip about the 16 inch wheels though!). The seats in the new Civic are supportive and comfortable and have full range of height and pitch adjustment. Road noise is well suppressed and engine noise from the refined CTDi Common Rail 2.2 litre diesel engine is only really noticeable in first two gears at low speeds. The UK built Honda 2.2 CTDi diesel engine is extremely quiet and refined, with virtually no diesel rattle even when started from cold. In fact, the Honda Civic diesel is so quiet that it's almost impossible to tell (at idling) that it is an oil burner; beating even the Ford Focus TDCI which we previously thought had the best small car diesel engine refinement. Wind noise has never been a problem in the Civic and the car remains quiet and refined even at high motorway speeds. Dashboard Layout The all new dashboard on the Euro Honda Civic uses relaxing blue backlighting with state of the art holographic display technology being used for the trip computer and central information displays. The new Honda Civic Type R has red instrumentation backlighting. The digital speedometer is mounted just below the windscreen, in direct eye line. This makes it easier to watch your speed without taking your eyes off the road. Most controls on the Civic dashboard are easy to use, but some are a little fiddly and complicated - the wiper stalk controls being one example. Keep the user manual handy for reference! Comfort and Refinement : New Honda Civic Reviews < Worse 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Better > Emissions & Green Rating The UK Honda Civic Diesel 2.2 CTDi is a 'green car' with a super clean engine and low CO2 emissions. In fact, it's probably one of the best small family cars with outstanding performance and a class leading 'green rating'. At just 135g of CO2 per km, it qualifies for C Band UK car tax (currently just £120 per year). Just compare the low emissions and green rating of the Honda Civic 2.2 CTDi diesel to the economical Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI:- Green Car Reviews CO2 Emissions / km Engine CO g/km Engine NOx (g/km) Particulates g/km Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI 127g 0.406 0.413 0.031 Honda Civic 2.2 CTDI 135g 0.144 0.141 0.010 The green car rating below does not apply to the new Type R Honda Civic which is not as environmentally friendly! Green Rating : New Honda Civic Review < Worse 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Better > Best New Features Electric Panoramic Glass Roof (standard on the Honda Civic ES) is a nice feature letting in much more natural light into the cabin for both front and rear passengers. A switch mounted near the roof courtesy light controls the roof blinds as required. The panoramic roof is pictured here. ECO Display (six green LED lights) is useful in helping the driver to reduce fuel consumption. The more ECO lights are illuminated the lower the instantaneous fuel consumption of the car. 2 ECO lights seems to equate to a fuel economy of around 40mpg; 4 ECO lights to around 50mpg fuel economy and 6 ECO lights for over 60mpg. In practice, it is challenging to find a cruising speed that keeps more than 2 ECO lights illuminated and pretty much impossible around town on the urban cycle, unless you change into 5th and use very light throttle settings. Then 70mpg is just achievable from the new Civic even at 32mph on a flat road. Dual Zone Climate Control - standard on the 2007 Honda Civic ES and EX allows separate driver and passenger comfort zones with independent climate temperature control. The temperature control for the passenger is conveniently located on the passenger armrest. Magic Seats - add to seating flexibility and load space practicality. The central fuel tank in the new Honda Civic allows the rear seats to be folded flat to make a huge load space in the boot. The boot floor also has a bottom storage compartment which can be used for additional luggage if no space saving spare tyre is purchased. Km/h to mph Switch - A dashboard mounted switch allows easy change over from mph to km/h for driving abroad. All digital information related to vehicle speed, range and fuel consumption is changed to km / litre. Driver's Information Computer - The new Civic has a well designed Driver's Information Computer which provides instantaneous fuel consumption in the form of a bar graph, digital readout of average fuel consumption (by trip), range to empty, trip distance and average speed (since last reset). The driver computer is toggled by pressing the "I" button on the steering wheel. Electric Door Mirrors - The Honda Civic is a wide car at 2.046m (including door mirrors) so the electric door mirrors (standard on the new Civic ES and EX) come in useful for parking the vehicle in a small garage. Engine Start Button - Without doubt, it's cool to start the engine using the red button on the dashboard, even if it does take some getting used to! Rear Door Access - The Civic's rear doors open to nearly 90 degrees to improve access for disabled passengers and to accommodate large items. Annoyances Known Faults and Reliability - There have been several problems with my Civic which are detailed in Reliability, Faults and Problems below. Cramped Rear Seats - Whilst the Honda Civic is a small family car it's less adept at carrying 5 adults in comfort on long journeys. 3 adults can get somewhat cramped in the back seat. The middle seat is very narrow and the seat cushion is raised for additional discomfort! Interior Rattles - These were a problem on the 55 and 06 registration Honda Civic. Factory modifications on the 2007 Civic (56 registration cars) seem to have resolved rattles from the headlining on the ES and EX model (cars fitted with sliding glass roof). Exterior Rattles - On my Civic, another rattle seems to be caused by the external plastic cover at the base of the windscreen which is in contact with the glass. This noise then transmits into the car through the windscreen, especially when the car goes over bumps in the road. Rear Visibility Problems - I am pleased to say that I've had no problems with rear visibility when reversing my new Honda Civic into parking spaces. The rear visibility is quite adequate for purpose and the large door mirrors make up for any slight visibility restrictions. However, I find the rear window mounted spoiler (half way up the glass) more annoying on the motorway where it significantly restricts the view of traffic behind. Fuel Economy - The fuel economy of the new Civic is really rather disappointing. If you drive with a heavy right foot then don't expect much more than 40mpg and cold start short journeys will result in further reduce fuel economy, often as low as 35mpg in winter. Honda's published fuel economy figures for the new Honda Civic don't seem to tally with any form of real world driving. Nor, in fact does the fuel computer which shows the economy to be around 6mpg better than it really is! In Car Entertainment System The 15W stereo fitted to the Honda Civic works well with good radio sensitivity even though the radio aerial is internal - in the rear window glass. Sound quality is reasonable although not class leading and 4 speaker are fitted. Separate tweeters provide excellent clarity of treble sounds. The CD / MP3 player reads most CD-R and CD-RW media types and a 12 digit alphanumeric display shows individual track names on MP3 CD's (where programmed). Individual MP3 folders can be selected by name using the manual tune knob on the radio. Radio, CD MP3 Player: New Honda Civic Reviews < Worse 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Better > Build Quality Problems The build quality of my particular 2007 UK specification Honda Civic was initially marred by problems with interior trim rattles. The hard ride of the car makes the problem seem worse. Based on my initial ownership experience, Honda have some way to go to eliminate annoying rattles and squeaks from the cabin of the new Civic. A road test revealed several problem areas (particularly on 55 and 06 registration ES and EX cars) including a poorly designed and fitted interior headlining with more rattles emanating from the internal black plastic surround on the rear hatch. My Civic also had a particularly annoying resonance (buzz) from behind the dashboard at an engine speed of around 1900 rpm (70mph in 6th gear). That said, the interior finish of the car is very good with high quality materials used throughout. Build Quality : New Honda Civic Review < Worse 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Better > Diesel Civic Performance & Economy You'll find that the Honda Civic 2.2 CTDi engine has excellent performance and I highly recommend buying the diesel car rather than the 1.8 V-TEC, even though there's a small price premium. Residuals are likely to be better on the diesel Civic as it has much better mid range power delivery than the 1.8 V-TEC petrol engine, even though both engines deliver 140PS. The 2.2CTDi Honda Civic is supposed to be around 22% more economical than the 1.8 V-TEC engine models, delivering around 39mpg around town and 55.4mpg in the combined cycle fuel economy tests. That said, the fuel economy is poor compared to a small engine diesel like the Ford Focus 1.6 tdci. Fuel economy of my new shape Honda Civic Ctdi is relatively poor at around 44mpg with a mixture of short journeys and motorway runs. Around town, on the urban cycle I achieve around 35mpg - again quite poor compared to Honda's official fuel economy figures. If you have a heavy right foot, then expect to get around 30 - 35mpg if you drive the car in a 'spirited fashion'. It's also worth noting that the car's fuel computer seems to over-read by about 5 to 6mpg, so the car actually does less MPG than the Civic fuel computer average shows! Economy aside, there's no doubt that the diesel Civic has awesome mid range power reducing the need to change down the gears and an impressive acceleration figure of 0 - 60mph in 8.6 seconds, making it a very fast diesel car. If you are seeking performance and driving thrills, then the new Honda Civic Type R with its 2.0i V-TEC engine still offers combined fuel economy figures of around 31mpg and 215g/km of CO2, along with a 146mph top speed! To achieve greater engine efficiency the Diesel Common Rail Injection system runs at very high pressures of up to 1000 bar, using solenoids that release just the right amount of fuel to each cylinder at precise computer controlled timings. For more technical information on Common Rail Injection click here and don't forget to watch the official Honda video for lots of information about the new 2.2 CTdi engine. Performance & Economy : New Honda Civic Reviews < Worse 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Better > Interior Space & Practicality The new UK Honda Civic scores well on practicality. It has a large boot of around 485 litres capacity, considerably larger than the Ford Focus which offers 385 litres. To boost practicality, the new Civic has both 60/40 rear seats and a unique folding rear seat arrangement that allows maximum use of space when carrying large or bulky items. The rear seats drop perfectly flat for large items, giving a huge 1352 litres of boot space - example here. It's not all good news though, as the car's rear seats can be cramped for 3 adults. The car has a large, air conditioned glove box and decent size driver and passenger door pockets. There are some additional storage bins in the driver armrest and two cup holders adjacent to the handbrake. Space & Practicality : New Honda Civic Review < Worse 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Better > Safety Review The Euro Honda Civic scores well on safety with a 4 star EURO NCAP rating and an ISOFIX child restraint mechanism. There are 6 airbags with front driver and a passenger airbags, 2 side airbags and curtain airbags front and rear. Please note that a child car seat should never be placed in a front seat of the Honda Civic as an SRS passenger airbag is fitted. Safety : New Honda Civic Reviews < Worse 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Better > Running & Servicing Costs Depreciation on the new Honda Civic is fairly low and the car is expected to retain around 50% of it's original value after 3 years. Servicing intervals are annual or 12,500 miles on most models and the 16 inch low profile tyres are around £70 each to buy. With an expected fuel economy of around 45mpg, annual fuel costs should be low. If you want cheap servicing, don't buy a new Honda Civic! With the first service costing £181 and the subsequent service £230 (including VAT), Honda is taking advantage of their servicing monopoly. Get your Civic serviced somewhere else and risk voiding the Manufacturer warranty if non-Handa parts are used. Be warned! The Insurance Groups for the 2007 Honda Civic is 9 or 10 for most 1.8 V-TEC and 2.2 CTDi models. This means cheap car insurance for all models. I paid around £240 in January 2007 for 12 months insurance with Direct Line. Running Costs : New Honda Civic Review < Worse 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Better > Reliability, Faults & Problems The previous Honda Civic has been very reliable and Honda are offering a 3 year, 90,000 mile warranty on the 2007 Civic so they must have a high level of confidence in the mechanicals of the car. Unfortunately, in the 4000 miles covered in my 56 registration Civic, I've had problems with the bump stops on the Front Shock Absorbers and with the fuel filler release which refused to open despite pulling on the release catch in the car. These are both common faults with the new Honda Civic and modifications to fix these issues are available from Honda. The shock absorber problem results in a knocking noise when going over bumps and is a common fault on the new Civic, which is usually covered under the manufacturer's 3 year warranty. To fix the Front Shock Absorber fault is a 2.5 hour service operation. For more information on car problems and fixes, try the new Euro Honda Civic Forum. Reliability & Problems: New Honda Civic Reviews < Worse 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Better > Review Conclusion The new model UK Honda Civic is a cool car which is exciting to drive and stands out from the crowd through its beautiful aerodynamic styling. The Civic handles well and has sporty performance from its refined and powerful 2.2 CTDi diesel engine, which also delivers 50mpg fuel economy. The car proves comfortable on all but very rough road surfaces. The new Civic's clever design means that it is extremely practical as a family car and all models come well equipped. There's a quality cabin with upmarket materials having been used throughout the range. However, when buying a second hand Honda Civic (new shape) always check for trim and headlining rattles on pre 2007 production cars, particularly if you're looking to buy an ES and EX specification car fitted with the sliding glass roof.

December 2008 Family cars don’t come much better than the Civic. The futuristic model is our reigning New Car Honours champion in the compact hatchback sector. Yet Honda isn’t resting on its laurels. To meet the challenge of newcomers such as the VW Golf and Renault Mégane, the Japanese firm has tweaked its popular hatchback.From the outside, the only major difference is a new grille, which now features a pair of intakes either side of the Honda logo. Revised rear light clusters also help to provide a fresh look, but otherwise the Civic retains the space-age shape and stubby proportions of the old car.It’s the same story inside, too, so the cabin continues to split opinion. People either love or loathe its futuristic layout – although nobody can deny the switchgear has a quality feel. Unfortunately, the driving position is still flawed, as the seat doesn’t lower far enough for all motorists to get comfortable behind the wheel.Trim levels have been brought into line with the Accord, and EX GT spec includes climate control, a panoramic sunroof and integrated sat-nav all as standard. What the Civic has in abundance is practicality. The huge 485-litre boot is 113 litres larger than the Mégane’s, the next biggest of the cars on test, and you get Jazz-style fold and tumble rear seats. It’s the only model here with such a versatile cabin, making the Civic easily the most practical choice.The Honda also has more capacity than its rivals under the bonnet, thanks to the 2.2-litre i-CTDi engine. A power output of 138bhp matches the 2.0-litre Golf’s, but its 340Nm torque rating ranks it ahead of all three rivals. And the Civic makes the most of its advantage, too: at the test track it was the fastest from a standstill, racing from 0-60mph in 8.8 seconds – seven-tenths-of-a-second quicker than its closest competitor.The diesel engine revs smoothly and quickly with little turbo lag, but it lacks immediate punch when you floor the accelerator. Instead, you have to use all of the revs, which explains why the Honda’s dominance doesn’t extend to the in-gear test times: it was slower from 30-50mph in fourth gear than all of its rivals. On the road, the Civic is more at home on twisty country lanes than on motorways. Its agile handling, precise steering and firm damping combine with its petrol-like power delivery to make it an entertaining drive. However, its hard suspension doesn’t deal with ruts and potholes as effectively as in the Focus or Golf, and it lacks the refinement of its rivals. As a long-distance companion, it soon becomes a drag.The top-of-the-range Civic looks expensive, yet it comes with generous standard kit. Honda’s excellent dealer network, plus the car’s strong resale values and good fuel economy, ensure it puts up a strong defence of its crown.

Auto Express Car Reviews Rating: On the road price: £15,985 - £22,795 For : Futuristic yet well laid out cabin, punchy engines, rear seats, big boot, warranty, road manners Against : Poor visibility, tiny rear door apertures, slightly coarse 1.8-litre engine, heavy tailgate DrivingThe Civic is available with two petrol engines, but it's the 2.2-litre i-CTDi diesel that's our favourite. This fantastic engine is free-revving, impressively refined and punchy, too. It remains our favourite diesel in the family hatchback class, and is preferable to the 1.8-litre petrol which is vocal in its mid-range and lacks torque which leads to downchanges on the motorway – but the slick, fast shift means changing gears is no chore. It is also economical and sprightly against the clock. The steering is sharp and, although it's not as much fun as a Ford Focus, it's neat, nimble and good to drive. Only on rougher tarmac does it become slightly nervous. The three-door takes on a sportier edge, and proves composed and agile in corners. Stability control is standard as well, and the system is unobtrusive.MarketplaceWith a band of lights and reflectors running across the front and back, plus a cab-forward side profile, the Civic looks positively futuristic. Nothing comes close for visual impact. What’s more, Honda hasn't followed the trend for ever-bigger cars, as the Civic is 30mm shorter and 37mm lower than its predecessor, making it one of the smallest cars in the family hatch sector - although it does have a relatively long wheelbase. Three-door models take on an even sportier appearance than the five-door, and all models are built at Honda's Swindon plant. Three engines are mated to five trim levels (with a larger but less sporty range of trims offered in five-door guise), and rivals include the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra, Volkswagen Golf and Toyota Auris.OwningThe Civic's long wheelbase, plus the Jazz's trick of locating the fuel tank under the front seats, means heads and legs have plenty of room despite compact exterior dimensions. However, tiny rear doors - a direct consequence of the design - mean access to the back is really poor. But the seat folding mechanism can't be beaten, and at 485 litres with them up, no rival has a bigger boot. The loading lip is also low, even if the tailgate is heavy to operate. Rakish A-pillars block visibility at the front and rear vision is even worse due to a tiny rear window. And while Honda claims special water-repellent glass removes the need for a wiper, the lower screen still collects road dirt. As for the cabin, while it can initially be intimidating, you realise after a while how clever it is. There’s plenty of stowage, comfortable seats and comprehensive controls. However, you do sit a little high, the digital speedo is poorly placed and the stereo is a stretch.  Equipment levels are good, complementing keen pricing, and fuel economy is praiseworthy, particularly with the diesel. This complements retained values that are excellent by family hatch standards.

The Honda Civic Diesel 2.2 is awesome -such a shame Honda have to stop producing them by 2011 (due to emissions!). I've had my Type S GT for a couple of years now and after going into Bristol Honda for my service I think I might have to get the Si. I enquired and the Sales guy there said they are now doing it for £14,995 on the road - over £4000 off! I just checked their website www.bristolhonda.co.uk and they have not put it on there yet, but take my word for it they promised a Red 2.2 Si for £14,995 (brand new 1st reged, 60 Reg) Long live the Civic Diesel! By rracing20 on 9 November, 2010, 4:47pm Haggle hard..... A new generation model will be announced in 2011 with launch in 2012. Red - commands poor resale value due to lower demand over other colours. Fades to orange eventually. Just look at the red cars on the road. Honda has to sell all the remaining stock of the current model before gearing up for production of new model. Buyers - make sure you haggle hard to inc full sets of mats £75, 12 mths road tax, full tank of fuel & free 3 years servciing. Don't let the dealers sell you the £400+ paint & interior protection, its a rip off & something that can be done yourself buying from ebay for less than £15. Anything less, walk away, there are loads of other good deals out there for cars in this category. By scott1234 on 19 November, 2010, 12:32pm Long in the tooth collectors item This version of the Civic was a brave attempt by Honda to be different, but never truly succeeded. It's now long in the tooth and even less competitive so why waste your money on one? By penncv3 on 2 December, 2010, 9:54am Deluded pennycv3 who has no idea that owning a civic spaceship is pure joy. I`ts practical, economical to run, reliable, very comfortable, handles beautifully and is very safe and above all is great fun to drive. I have been driving for 53 years and of all the cars I have had in this time this Civic gives me the most pleasure. By AlanShaw on 2 December, 2010, 10:10am You need to register to post comments.

Warranty Free car buyer service Car depreciation insurance For This top trim is a lavish one, with sat-nav, Bluetooth, leather upholstery and HID headlights, while the 2.2-litre engine has good mid-range pull and decent economy Against Unless you cover a lot of miles, the cheaper 1.8-litre petrol models will probably serve you better, as it will take a long time to recoup the higher purchase price in fuel savings. What Car? says 3 out of 5 stars Never mind the lavish specification; this model is too costly. The cheaper SE gives you all that's good in a Civic for much less, and for most people, the 1.8 petrol model will make more sense Reader review rating 4.137931 advertisement Full review Compare Choose another bodystyle Female verdict Key facts 0–60mph 8.7 secs Top speed 127 mph Average mpg 53.3 Tank range 586 miles See all running costs Features See all equipment Size See all measurements View the whole Honda Civic Hatchback range Cheaper Hatchback 1.4 i-VTEC Type S 3dr £15,420 Hatchback 1.4 i-VTEC SE 5dr £15,985 Hatchback 1.4 i-VTEC Type S-T 3dr £16,700 Hatchback 1.4 i-VTEC Si 5dr £16,885 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC SE 5dr £16,990 Hatchback 1.4 i-VTEC SE-T 5dr £17,265 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC Si 5dr £17,890 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC Type S GT 3dr £18,095 Hatchback 1.4 i-VTEC Si-T 5dr £18,165 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC SE-T 5dr £18,270 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi SE 5dr £18,330 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC ES 5dr £18,370 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC Si-T 5dr £19,170 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC Type S GT-T 3dr £19,375 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi Si 5dr £19,395 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi Type S GT 3dr £19,600 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC ES-T 5dr £19,650 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi SE-T 5dr £19,775 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi ES 5dr £19,875 Hatchback 2.0 i-VTEC Type R 3dr £20,000 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi Si-T 5dr £20,675 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi Type S GT-T 3dr £20,880 Hatchback 2.0 i-VTEC Type R GT 3dr £21,105 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi ES-T 5dr £21,155 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC EX GT 5dr £21,290 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi EX GT 5dr £22,795 Hatchback 2.0 i-VTEC Type R Mugen 200 3dr £24,370 More expensive Hatchback 1.4 i-VTEC Type S 3dr £15,420 Hatchback 1.4 i-VTEC SE 5dr £15,985 Hatchback 1.4 i-VTEC Type S-T 3dr £16,700 Hatchback 1.4 i-VTEC Si 5dr £16,885 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC SE 5dr £16,990 Hatchback 1.4 i-VTEC SE-T 5dr £17,265 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC Si 5dr £17,890 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC Type S GT 3dr £18,095 Hatchback 1.4 i-VTEC Si-T 5dr £18,165 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC SE-T 5dr £18,270 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi SE 5dr £18,330 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC ES 5dr £18,370 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC Si-T 5dr £19,170 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC Type S GT-T 3dr £19,375 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi Si 5dr £19,395 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi Type S GT 3dr £19,600 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC ES-T 5dr £19,650 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi SE-T 5dr £19,775 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi ES 5dr £19,875 Hatchback 2.0 i-VTEC Type R 3dr £20,000 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi Si-T 5dr £20,675 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi Type S GT-T 3dr £20,880 Hatchback 2.0 i-VTEC Type R GT 3dr £21,105 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi ES-T 5dr £21,155 Hatchback 1.8 i-VTEC EX GT 5dr £21,290 Hatchback 2.2 i-CTDi EX GT 5dr £22,795 Hatchback 2.0 i-VTEC Type R Mugen 200 3dr £24,370 The Honda Civic Hatchback full review Read in full Performance 4 out of 5 stars A strong range of engines Ride & Handling 3 out of 5 stars No match for the best Refinement 3 out of 5 stars Some suspension and road noise Buying & Owning 3 out of 5 stars Good residuals and running sosts Quality & Reliability 3 out of 5 stars Hard plastics, but solid build Safety & Security 5 out of 5 stars Superb in both areas Behind The Wheel 2 out of 5 stars Futuristic cabin is too compromised Space & Practicality 4 out of 5 stars Poor headroom; otherwise excellent Equipment 4 out of 5 stars Ranges from pretty good to plush Watch video See all Or view… Volkswagen Golf Skoda Octavia Buyer's notes Target Price team says: The Honda Civic certainly stands out in a crowd thanks to its sharp lines that are a major departure from previous Civics. It comes in three- and five-door forms, with the rev-hungry Type-R hot hatch only available as a three-door. Inside, the Civic is fastidiously well put together and all models come with twin front, side and curtain airbags. All models in the range also have ESP stability and traction control. Apart from the basic S models, every Civic comes with all-round electric windows and a clever trip computer, as well as a CD stereo, climate control and alloy wheels. The driver has manual seat height adjustment and a steering wheel that adjusts for reach and rake. Space is good for those in the front, but rear headroom is cramped for adults. No rear windscreen wiper is an irritating omission.The Civic's engines are all responsive and flexible, but the ride and refinement are only average for this class.
