Having enjoyed* owning an 05 Civic I bought a 2010 1.8 si for that little bit more style. For a family hatchback the 5dr Civic looks great. I made sure to pick out Si spec, honeycomb grill, fogs and 1/2 leather. The only I would like is cruise control. That aside, the 1.8 is a decent driving car. The vtec returns fantastic mpg for a 140bhp engine but also if you want to put the foot down, on come the vtec lights and away you go! Handling is decent, manoeuvring requires a little more attention, turning circle atrocious and a little too much road noise. On the plus side the boot is huge! I mean no other stylish hatchback will come close, it even includes a hidden storage compartment underneath plus the back seats fold fully flat AND fold upwards giving a full rear floor without collapsing the seatbacks. The perfect family wagon that won't cost the earth, won't let you down whilst looking good
