The HONDA CIVIC (2006-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.8 I-VTEC 140 TYPE S I-SHIFT AUTO6 is a sporty, three-door family hatchback, sitting between everyday compact cars and more focused hot hatches in the UK market. Its bold, futuristic styling gives it more presence than many conventional rivals, while the automatic transmission makes town driving easier. With a responsive 1.8-litre petrol engine and rear seats, it suits commuting, errands and occasional small-family trips, especially for drivers wanting something more distinctive than a standard five-door hatch. The Type S feels engaging on the road, yet remains practical; its three-door layout is less convenient for frequent rear-seat access. mycarcheck.com has 270 look-ups covering 96 different cars.
