The Honda Civic is a radically designed family hatchback which is built by one of the world's most technologically innovative car makers. Despite this, Honda has a reputation for conservatism as its cars have traditionally appealed to older buyers, largely because the exterior design has typically been rather unadventurous. Not here though, as the Civic combines cutting-edge interior and exterior design with some great engines, excellent reliability and superb practicality. This latter point is largely down to a carrying capacity that's much better than most key rivals, but the car's popularity is also helped by the generous equipment levels.

It's an attractive and comfortable car, bags of fun to drive, and it's British-built. What more could you want?

Honda should be applauded for avoiding the temptation to tone down the Civic from their earlier concept designs.

The triangular foglights and exhausts, visor-like headlamps and racy, squat forward profile are all present and correct and give it a dramatic, purposeful poise.

Why should buyers of small cars like this be spared such vanities as folding mirrors, or stealthed rear door handles, which make the five door car look like a coupe?

TYPES

• Sep 2005: The eighth-generation Civic reached showrooms, with a choice of three engines. The entry-level car featured a 1.4-litre petrol engine (badged 1.4-DSI), while there was also a 1.8-VTEC unit. Diesel fans could opt for Honda's excellent all-alloy 2.2-iCDTi unit.
• Jan 2006: A new Civic IMA hybrid saloon was offered, but it didn't feature the radical five-door hatch styling, even if the technology was more cutting-edge.
• Jan 2007: A three-door Civic was introduced, in the shape of the Type S, which is fitted with a choice of 1.8 petrol or 2.2-litre diesel powerplants. There was also a high-spec edition introduced, called the GT.
• Mar 2007: The Honda Civic Type R went on sale, using the same three-door bodyshell as the Type S, but with Honda's fabulous, high-revving 2-litre VTEC petrol engine to give 198bhp. Once again, there was also a high-spec GT derivative offered.

The History of the Honda Civic Si

As if the Honda Civic wasn't cool enough from the beginning, the car manufacturer added a sports car version to its already successful line over 20 years ago. In 1984, the Honda Civic line added a sporty component, the Si, which stands for Sport Injected.

The car was a hatchback with two-tone paint (your only choices being blue, black or red over gray), a power sunroof and sports seats. We might laugh today at the idea that this was the ultimate in sports car driving, but at the time, it was quite popular. Since then, the Honda Civic Si has evolved into a sexy four-door sedan. Here we follow its changes.

Early Days

It's hard to imagine a hatchback as sexy, but in the 1980s, a market of sport compact car enthusiasts emerged, giving the Si an instant fan base. However, the Honda Civic Si wasn't just sporty in name alone. Its VTEC® engine technology, which allowed drivers to go from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 8.9 seconds (a feature most drivers were eager to test out) made it a favorite of fast car lovers.

The Si left the Market

The Si was AWOL from 1995 to 1999. Whether Honda planned to stop manufacturing the model completely and was swayed by Si enthusiasts to bring it back, or if the car manufacturer used those years to improve the model, one may never know.

At any rate, in 1999, the Honda Civic Si returned, bringing with it a twin-cam VTEC® four-cylinder engine with 160 horsepower, a rarity at the Si's price point. Some models of the Si offered anti-lock brakes, but Honda had not yet started pushing this on all models at this point.

The 2006 Model
In 2006, Honda elected to move away from the hatchback model in favor of sophisticated sedan and coupe models.

The 2006 model is the fastest of all Honda Civic Si models, with a 0-60 startup of 6.7 seconds.

The Si started getting some time on the silver screen, featuring largely into the Fast and Furious movies. Some fans say the cars got better billing than the actors did!

Current Models
Today the Honda Civic Si is one of the best hybrids for speed, reliability and price. It ranks well in appearance, comfort and performance, with only a few minor complaints from drivers. Some complain that the steering wheel and torque could be better. But for the price and the gas mileage, most drivers don't mind.
