Overview
The ninth generation Civic range has been rationalised, with the Vti-L as the entry point and the only model with five-speed manual transmission option. The Sport is five-speed auto only. Power figures are slightly different, but fuel economy and emissions see improvement, with the Hybrid leading the pack, driving through a CVT. The sophisticated styling is built on the previous model and the interior is welcoming, with well placed controls and instruments in a quality environment. Safety is five star ANCAP with a couple of Honda unique features thrown in. Its main rival would be the Mazda 3 range, plus the Lancer and Corolla.
