Honda Civic (2001-2005) Review

Category: Small Family 3.5 out of 5

Summary of the Honda Civic (2001-2005)

Price Range: £14,224 to £19,565

Assets

Excellent engines, economy, fun handling, low running costs, reliability, spaciousness.

Drawbacks

Firm ride, engine noise, plain-looking 5dr, somewhat bland interior.

Verdict

One of the most sensible cars if you're seeking practicality and efficiency. Not the most comfortable though, nor the most fun.

Honda Civic Review

Safety and Security4 out of 5

For a car that debuted in 2001, the Civic scores pretty well in independent organisation EuroNCAP's crash tests, gaining four-stars for occupant protection and a particularly good three-star rating for pedestrian safety, though we're not convinced that the latter is a selling point for buyers just yet. ABS, front and side airbags are all standard (except side airbags on the heavily bolstered seats on the Type-R), while remote central locking is standard and, on SE models and above, an alarm.
