Honda Civic Full Road Test Report

There are quicker and more comfortable rivals, yet few can match the £18,615 Civic Type R's engaging nature with the exception of the Ford Focus ST 500. But it’s the looks that do it for me; the space age design with raw power on tap makes the Type R a true hot hatch... read more

Honda Accord Saloon 2.2 diesel 2008

This is not the cheapest car of its type but the refinement and meticulous attention to detail make light of the extra cash. Reliability is a byword of Honda’s and the performance is powerful yet quite and almost unnoticeable. Plenty of room inside with a good boot. I particularly like the Lane Keeping assistance that makes motorway driving far more relaxed. If you want performance, reliability, safety and a pleasing driving experience then the Accord offers all this and more.

Honda Civic Civic IMA hybrid 2006

I’ve been running the hybrid now for almost 2 years and so far so good. I live in London and this has meant that I have never had to pay a penny towards the London Congestion Charge, the CO2 emissions of the hybrid are only 109g/km. The car is also means low company car tax. I get around 55 - 60 miles to the gallon (my daily journey involves a lot of stopping and starting which is great for recharging the battery but not great for fuel economy...). There are a few flaws - the brakes are too heavy, the engine sometimes sounds strained. This is why I can only give the hybrid 4 stars but any new technology will have its teething problems and I am prepared to accept this. I will continue to go for the greener option when getting a new car and would be happy to first see what new offerings Honda have before looking elsewhere.

Honda Civic 1.6 VTEC 2004

This is precisely what a car should be - well constructed and completely reliable. The variant that I chose was the 1.6, perfect as a small family car, frugal and a very comfortable ride with plenty of head and leg room. The amount of storage space is a real highlight with a roomy boot and fold down rear seats when extra space is required. The cabin controls are well ordered and easy to find and use. What makes the Honda Civic such a good car? Reliability and attention to detail. 5 out of 5.

Honda Jazz 1.4cc 2007

Best car I ever owned, beats my previous Volvo 440 hands down. It took 3 adults and myself as driver on a journey through France just after I purchased it; with four cases in boot. We averaged 48.5 MPH over 1,875 miles. Amazing around town; about 46 mph, on longer journeys with two we average 49.2 mph... Its upright seating is extremely comfortable which means I can drive further without have to get out and stretch my poor old legs. If the Jazz has a downside it’s a harder ride than my old Volvo. Finally, it will be my car of choice for years to come.

Honda Jazz 2007 1.4 i-DSI SE

This is quite simply a wonderful car - it was Japan's 2002 Car of the Year and I can see why. The driving position is excellent; the interior is well constructed with everything where you would expect it. One thing that pleased and surprised me was the generous amount of loading space once the back seats had been lowered, carrying flat-pack furniture was not something that I thought would be possible when I purchased the Jazz but it has proven remarkably adept in this area. I wanted long-term reliability from my new car - reports suggested that this is exactly what the Jazz would give me and that it has done. This is a well constructed, green and stylish car.

Honda Accord Saloon ex 2.0ivtec 2007

Had this car for three months now. Good points Ride is excellent Quiet as a mouse with a refined petrol engine Interior is luxurious Good stereo and lots of toys Bad points A little cramped in the back Some interior finishes not up to standard A little road roar on some surfaces Would have like bluetooth as standard (got it as extra) Overall, this is a great car, but is let down by some below par quality finishing in the interior and reduced room in the back.

Honda Jazz 1.4i SE CVT-7 2004

I’ve had this car from new and it has been the best car I’ve ever owned. It’s been totally reliable and I still enjoy driving it after all this time. I will be looking to change my car soon and will have no hesitation heading straight for my local Honda dealer and getting another Jazz. Brilliant car, loads of space for size of the car and very capable over short and very long (France and back) journeys.

Honda FR-V 2.0 VTEC Sport 2005

Big, solid car that is very enjoyble to drive and bought used (like mine) very affordable. Very good running costs as well. Nice cabin, everything laid out really well and the interior is very comfortable throughout. The wife loves it, kids love it. Not overly powerful but plenty for our needs so no complaints there. Really pleased I chose this for our family car, fits the bill very nicely indeed.

Honda Accord Saloon 2.0i-VTEC SE 2006

Great car to drive, gutsy power when needed and so smooth and quiet. I really enjoy long distance journeys in this car because it is so comfortable and the handling is very responsive - more like gliding than driving. Not the cheapest car to run but certainly not the worst and Honda are a very trustworthy make. Good size boot but it would be nice to have a touch more space in the back seat although I wouldn’t go so far as to say it feels cramped for adult passengers, maybe just snug.

Honda S2000 2.0i VTEC GT 2005

This is just the most fun to drive and gives a very smooth and comfortable drive around town, but when on the open road it really comes into its own, which lets face it is the reason you buy a sportscar. This little beauty can shift and then some!! I’ve previously owned a Mazda MX-5 but this car has more guts to it and a little more style. If you need to ask about fuel consumption though don’t even look at one!
