Honda Civic 2.2 i-CTDi SE 5dr

What is it?

Daring new family hatchback. A Civic was once trusty but dull. Now Honda has turned it into a space age machine.

What’s hot?

  • Fabulous engine: lots of go from any gear
  • Very good fuel economy
  • Sharp, go-kart like steering
  • Slick gearchange with six speeds
  • Rising Honda image
  • Interior practicality – can swallow a bike in the rear

What’s not?

  • Interior finishes look plasticky
  • Low roofline makes it claustrophobic for rear passengers
  • Over-firm ride
  • Petrol 1.8 could be better value for low-mileage drivers
