The HONDA CIVIC (2006-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.2 CTDI 140 TYPE S GT is a sporty three-door family hatchback, blending everyday practicality with a more spirited character. Its strong diesel engine and bold, futuristic styling help it stand apart from mainstream used rivals such as the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. mycarcheck.com has recorded 2,224 look-ups across 1,100 different VINs, a substantial sample suggesting ongoing interest in this older Civic. The checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,600, average mileage of 137,000 and around five previous keepers. These figures offer useful context, but each car’s condition and history matter. Well suited to commuters and couples, it works for regular trips and longer journeys, where diesel power can be useful. The three-door body makes rear-seat access less handy than in five-door rivals, though the Type S GT offers a distinctive, enjoyable alternative. Check service history, mileage and condition before buying a used car.
