Honda Civic Review

Evolution or revolution? When it comes to car design there are benefits to both, but it's difficult to argue that the Honda Civic has been anything other than the latter over the years.

This 10th-generation Civic is further proof of that. It’s longer, lower and wider than the ninth-generation car it replaced and has a more advanced suspension, too – a combination Honda hopes will help the Civic outgun rivals such as the Skoda Octavia and Volkswagen Golf.

With a competitive starting price, the Civic is available in no fewer than seven different trims. Meanwhile, there's a choice of two petrol engines: a three-cylinder 1.0-litre and a four-cylinder 1.5, although a 1.6-litre diesel will follow later in the year, as will a hot Type R version.

Read on to find out if the latest Honda Civic should be at the top of your family car shortlist, and which engines and trims make the most sense.
