Honda Civic (new)

civic2

Overall Average Rating - 86.91%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 15th

The Honda scores well in nearly every area, with brilliant marks for performance – unsurprising considering its rev-hungry VTEC petrol and classy diesel engines – comfort and running costs. Thanks to a twin-height boot floor, you found it highly practical, too. Only the ride and build quality have dragged down the overall score.

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 3rd)

The Japanese firm always turns in a great performance – and 2008 is no different. Only Lexus offers a more reliable range, while models get the thumbs-up for build quality and practicality.
