The new Honda Civic features styling that is an evolution of the radical look of the previous edition. The new design retains the split rear window and short, curved bonnet but gets LED daytime running lights and a useful rear windscreen wiper. From launch the Civic is offered with three engines - two petrols and a diesel. Customers can also choose from four trim levels - SE, ES, EX and EX GT. Buy a Civic with a manual gearbox, and you get stop/start technology as standard – a system that cuts and restarts the engine in order to save fuel when the car is stationary. All cars are also fitted with an ECON switch, which adjusts the car's electronics to improve fuel consumption - a similar feature is found on Honda Insight and Honda Jazz hybrid models.
