The HONDA CIVIC (2009-12) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.2 I-CTDI 140 TYPE-S 6SPD is a three-door family hatchback with a sportier look and feel than a standard runabout. In the UK, it sits between compact cars and more focused hot hatches: useful for commuters and daily life, with a strong diesel engine and six-speed manual that make longer journeys appealing. Mycarcheck.com records 66 look-ups covering 38 different VINs, so this is a useful snapshot rather than a large market sample. The checks show an average private-sale valuation of £2,600 and average recorded mileage of 121,000 miles; typical annual mileage is 10,000. Cars in the data have had about four previous keepers on average, making service history and careful condition checks especially worthwhile. Against rivals Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf, it offers distinctive styling, confident diesel performance and useful space, but its three-door layout makes rear access less convenient for some passengers. It suits drivers wanting an engaging, economical-feeling hatchback for commuting and longer trips.
