With daring design, space for five people and a big boot, the Civic seems to have a lot going for it. Another highlight is Honda's clever 'Magic Seats' in the back, with bases that flip-up to create a tall, floor-to-ceiling loadspace. However, the Civic faces strong competition in this class - and the previous model suffered less than exemplary reliability. Find out if it's worth buying by reading our full review.

New price: £14,065 - £24,655
