Economy
Value
A cheaper Type-R. Will surprise people who think it's just a family hatchback with a 2.0 engine. It's much more than that!
Costs
None incurred so far. Good combined MPG.

On the road
Driving
Ohh yes. If you can't afford a Type-R, this is the next best thing. Absolutely exhilirating drive - feels sporty as hell and still has the manners for those long motorway journeys. 160 bhp!
Performance
Good mpg combined. Boot it all day however and it's a different story!

Living with it
Reliability
Honda. Bulletproof.
Image
Not quite up there with the Type-R, but does its best. 15" alloys, spoiler and lowered 20mm more than standard Civic. Nice big 2.0-litre badge on front mesh grille. Front fogs.
Comfort
Feels sporty on the twisty roads. The Mother-in-law in the back would tell you that.

Security
You won't be able to nick this. Honda locking wheel nuts.
