Honda Civic Tourer pictures 2014

The Honda Civic Tourer has been extensively re-engineered from the hatchback model to create a very spacious family estate.

The Civic Tourer has two engines available - a powerful 1.8-litre petrol and a 1.6-litre diesel.

The Civic Tourer drives well but is unsettled by bumps.

The steering responds well but offers very little feedback.

The Civic's boot is a huge 624-litres - only beaten by the Peugeot 308 SW.

The Civic's dash is confusing to use and the satnav infotainment system looks like an aftermarket addition.

Honda is famed for its mechanical reliability but doesn't offer a long warranty like Hyundai or Kia.

All cars come decently equipped.

Top spec models get adaptive rear dampers that improve both ride and handling.
