2019 (191) Honda Civic

Forty-five years after the first Civic rolled off the production line, its popularity shows no sign of waning. In terms of styling it is certainly a marmite car, with looks you will either love or hate. This Civic is longer, lower and wider than previous generations, which means more space inside particularly in the boot where there are a massive 478 litres of space. There is also plenty of head and leg room for drivers and passengers alike. Standard equipment includes 16-inch alloy wheels, climate control, Bluetooth and USB compatibility and parking sensors. The engine of the moment is the one litre turbo petrol engine which is gutsy as well as frugal. This is a fun and sporty car that still feels safe and reassuring.
