Honda Civic FAQs
In the UK, the Honda Civic is only offered as a five-door hatchback. While it’s a shame we don’t get the saloon or coupe models sold elsewhere, this version is a great choice thanks to its practical cabin and large easy-access boot.
While the Civic is marketed as a family hatchback like the Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf, it’s actually a little longer than those options at around 4.5 metres, putting it around halfway between a Golf and Golf Estate in length. Honda has made the most of the extra space, however, with a cavernous interior that has lots of room for four adults to stretch out in, or five for shorter journeys. As its size suggests, the Civic has slightly more boot space than an equivalent VW Golf.
All engines in the Civic lineup are pleasant to use so your choice should really come down to what kind of driving you’re likely to do. If you do a mix of short and long journeys, any of the petrol options will suit you, or there’s a diesel option if you’re a higher mileage driver. Hot hatch fans will enjoy the decent performance offered by the 1.5-litre turbo engine in Sport models, or can sign up for a genuine thrill with the bonkers 2.0-litre turbo offered in the Type R.
Yes, a Honda Civic certainly should be reliable. Honda has an excellent reputation for reliability, and it offers a longer-mileage warranty than BMW, Volkswagen and Citroen. If problems do occur with a Civic, they're most likely to be electrical glitches rather than major faults.
The 2015-2022 Honda Civic is a great alternative to the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. It has economical engines, a slick manual gearbox and direct handling, and it's a lot more spacious and practical than its nearest rivals. Its infotainment screen isn't the best, but most trim levels include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so you can use your phone's apps instead.
The Honda Civic Type R certainly is fast, hitting 0-62mph in under six seconds on the way to a top speed of 169mph. Below that, the Civic Sport with its 1.5-litre petrol engine is pretty nippy, while even the entry-level engines have no problem keeping up with traffic.
Honda parts aren't generally too expensive. For repairs at a Honda dealer, you can expect to pay around £150 for a pair of brake pads, £130 for a coolant change and from £109 for a set of spark plugs. A new clutch kit costs around £900, while a timing belt change costs £1,200 on 1.0-litre petrol engines and around £300 for other engines.
The Honda Civic sits in groups 15-22 out of 50 (excluding the Type R), so it'll cost about as much to insure as a Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf. We'd always recommend getting insurance quotes before you decide to buy a car.
Yes, a Honda Civic is a good choice for a first car. The Civic is reliable, good to drive and spacious, and prices tend to be low because there are lots to choose from. Insurance costs could be lower but aren't the worst, and safety is pretty good too.
