Honda Civic Hatchback (06-11) - Review

Honda wanted to attract younger buyers when it launched the Civic - the carmaker was keen to lose the dull image of the previous car and aimed to develop something that would appeal to style-conscious drivers. It certainly succeeded and the result is a daring and ground-breaking design that is unlike anything else on the road. It's not just style over substance though because the Civic is practical, great to drive and user-friendly while the interior is just as futuristic as the exterior. Add in the option of the most refined diesel engine available in a hatchback in the form of the excellent i-CTDi, a superb dealer network and bullet-proof reliability and you've got the best family hatchback on the market.
