Type R - 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 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 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 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.

Craig Lee, County Down

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.
