The all-new, eleventh-gen HondaCivic has landed and we've got the definitive verdict.
Start pressing on and a digitised engine note designed to be reminiscent of older, sportier Hondas is piped through the front speakers for added theatre. Despite this, the Civic is far from thrilling, but it feels more like a conventional petrol to drive than the Corolla . All Civic engines come with an automatic gearbox. Performance fans waiting for the Civic Type R hot hatch variant will have to wait until early next year.
We’ve tested the top two trim levels of the Civic, both of which come with 18in wheels as standard. While the ride quality has a slightly firm edge to it when dealing with rutted road surfaces, the suspension remains settled and rounds off bumps nicely. A Skoda Octavia or Toyota Corolla is more forgiving, but the Civic is still pretty comfortable byBesides, the Civic has decent handling for a family car, feeling quite nimble to drive compared with either of those rivals.
Around town the Civic is relatively easy to manoeuvre, but it does have a slightly larger turning circle than some of its rivals. Out of town it stays pretty upright through tight twists and turns, and the hefty steering is precise. Settle down to a cruise and the smooth petrol engine in the Civic remains hushed, while the electric motors don’t produce any noticeable whine. There is a little wind noise around the windows as you head towards motorway speeds, but road noise is suppressed well enough to prevent it from being tiring over longer journeys; in short, the Civic is a noticeable step up in refinement to the already-quiet Corolla.
We’d recommend avoiding top-spec Advance models, though; the large glass sunroof they come equipped with causes the interior noise to resonate at motorway speeds. It’s not deafening, but lower spec models are far more serene without it.
