Other Honda Civic (2006 - 2011) models:

  • Summary

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Like sport-styling; great choice!

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    They all love it. Some have Honda Jazz's and wish they had gone for the Civic.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Absolutely, the best car I've ever owned. Reliable, sport-trim to appease me but practical for children. Good-sized boot and 'magic' seats are a great idea; very versatile and good mpg (or litres as they are now). Good styling inside and out.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Honda or Toyota (maybe hybrid) as usual but also desperate to get Honda S2000 (maybe a middle-aged crisis :o).
