The HONDA CIVIC (2009-12) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.2 I-CTDI 140 SE-T 6SPD is a practical family-sized hatchback, offering a useful alternative to small family cars and larger estate models in Britain. Its five-door layout makes everyday access easy, while the diesel engine and six-speed gearbox suit drivers covering regular longer journeys. With space and a distinctive shape, this Civic can handle commuting, school runs and weekend trips. The 2.2-litre diesel’s strong performance is a draw, and SE-T trim feels well-equipped. Compared with the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf, it still stands out among family-car rivals for its character and capable engine. mycarcheck.com records 15 look-ups across 11 VINs, a snapshot of this model’s used-car market.
