For This 2.2-litre diesel engine is strong and flexible. The Honda Civic 2.2 i-DTEC ES brings desirable extras such as cruise control, Bluetooth and a reversing camera.
Against The engine sounds rough and there’s a lot of road noise. The steering, ride and headroom also disappoint.
What Car? says
The Honda Civic 2.2 i-DTEC ES is too expensive and too noisy to recommend. Go for the 1.6 diesel instead.
