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 Civic 1.8 i-VTEC Petrol SE i-SHIFT 2006

I’ve done over 27,000 miles in my new Civic and I have to say I still love every mile I do. Everyone says it’s gorgeous, both inside and out. All the gadgets are great fun and the driving experience is close to that of a journey on futuristic space craft. Aside from the great things, like the super fuel economy (I once managed 51 mpg for a few weeks), and the sci-fi interior, it does have issues. I have the ’automatic’ version, which is anything but. The i-SHIFT gear system is absolutely infuriating and even Honda garages acknowledge that it’s extremely ’difficult’ to drive. I say it’s a BAD gear box, not a difficult car to drive. I’ve had two previous automatics, both Honda, and they were a dream compared to the new Civic. The car often insists on going into 6th gear at the worst possible moments. And I’ve had numerous near misses running out of drive whilst pulling out from junctions finding the car would not come out of first gear. Over-revving warning lights were never meant to be used so much! Still, the thing is, this car is so good, I really don’t care about the gearbox issues. There’s a great paddle shift system for manual operation and it gets me out of any tight spot. It comes with all the gadgets as standard, and even two years after buying I think my motor is still the coolest car on the road.

Honda S2000 Open 2.0 GT 2dr 2007

This is an amazing little car when you consider what you’re getting for the money and it really can go. Fabulous fun to drive and not as bad on fuel as I expected (mid 20’s) but make sure you keep your eye on the oil. An understated little belter of a car, that is as reliable as it is fast!

Honda Legend 3.5 V6 EX 4dr 2007

I’ve recently looked at buying one of these and whilst I still think it’s a great looking car and I’m still a fan of Honda, there are a lot more cars out there that are cheaper to run and have a little more oomf to them for the same price. Not for me.

Honda Accord Tourer 2.2i-CTDi EX 5dr 2005

Having owned several Honda cars over the years and always being very happy with them, when the time came to move to an estate car I had no hesitation in choosing Honda again. The Accord Tourer is very well built and has managed to offer the premium amount of space possible in a car of its size. The engine runs super smooth and for a diesel is extremely quiet. All good stuff, however, the hulking dashboard and thick pillars mean that visibility is impared at times, even with a fully adjustable drivers seat you do feel that you have to strain your neck at times to see what’s going on. For this reason the wife just plain refuses to drive it. I have got used to driving like this but because of the poor visibility and not too cheap running costs, I think I will be straying out of my Honda comfort zone when the time comes to choose a new estate car.

Honda Civic 2000

Very difficult to get original parts and very expensive Also most parts have to be original Honda parts. Honda dealers are big headed in Leicester.

Honda CR-V 2.0 i-VTEC ES 2007

Best SUV on the market. I’d have to say that the CR-V really belongs on-road. Everything about the CR-V is well laid out and I really like this as I’d class myself as a neat and orderly and it makes me feel really comfortable and at ease when driving. Honda have made a really safe and handsome car that is reasonably priced.

Honda Civic 1.8 i-VTEC Sport 2007

The Honda Civic is a beautifully built car. This is the most attractive hatchback on the market. The Civic could easily be used in Sci-Fi films, such is its space-age appearance. I chose the 1.8 for the better performance that it offers. The 1.4 is rather weak. Honda have build the interior well with lots of space for legs and shoulders. The build quality is were the Civic really stands head and shoulders above its rivals - everything is beautiful and this helps give the car an extremely refined look. The Civic is great value for money and economical to run.

Honda Jazz 1.4i-DSI SE 2007

Excellent car, out-classes all of it’s rivals. A brillant supermini, featuring fold flat rear seats for clever storage solution. Great on the motorway, quiet and acceleration is fantastic. Residuals are great too.
