The HONDA CIVIC (2009-12) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 I-VTEC 140 EU5 SE-T AUTO5 is a five-door family hatchback, competing with the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. Its bold styling helps it stand apart, while the automatic gearbox makes driving easier in traffic. With its 1.8-litre petrol engine, this Civic suits commuters and small families wanting cabin space, an easy-to-drive feel and more character than basic hatchbacks. Buyers may also value Honda’s reputation for dependable, well-built cars, but condition and service history matter on an older vehicle. mycarcheck.com records 14 look-ups covering three VINs, so the sample is limited. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £2,100, average mileage of 151,000 miles and nearly five previous keepers; average annual mileage is 8,000. These figures offer context, not a guarantee for a car. Overall, the HONDA CIVIC 1.8 i-VTEC SE-T automatic is a roomy, distinctive used hatchback to consider after careful checks.
