£15,750 - £26,595
For
- Exterior styling
- Gutsy 2.2 diesel
- Driving position
Against
- Interior will date badly
- Rear suspension noisy
- Type-R needs its neck wringing
The Civic's a radically styled hatch that’s done more for Honda’s image than any clever ad. Its driving position is excellent and as is its build quality. However, it's let down by suspect ergonomics and poor suspension. Type-R isn't a patch on original.
