The HONDA CIVIC (2009-12) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 I-VTEC 99 EU5 SI-T 6SPD is a five-door family hatchback, offering a more distinctive alternative to familiar rivals such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. Its compact size suits town driving, while the rear doors and useful cabin make everyday passenger and shopping trips straightforward. With a 1.4-litre petrol engine and six-speed manual gearbox, it is aimed at drivers wanting a sensible, easy-to-live-with car rather than hot-hatch performance. The Civic’s bold, space-age-looking design stands out, and its practical layout makes it a good fit for commuters, couples, small families and first-time buyers seeking a versatile used car.
