It took me up to "In Poland we like to drive dynamically" to realize you're not native english. After that I started watching for license plate and stuff. So much of your english. Well done sir.

Hi, think it's one of the best reviews I have come across on KZfaq, I wish it was a bit longer tho. Well done!

This just convinced me to get the 1.6d model for mountain bikes, dog ad family duties.

Good, concise review, thanks very much. It was interesting to hear about the relatively poor headroom, that's the first time I've heard a reviewer mention this and quite a big consideration.

Thank you very much for an English version!!!

As I'm started owning facelifted hatch 1.6 diesel in top executive trim, it's interesting to compare opinions here. And you are very accurate! Height in front is really on the edge, because tank is under front seats and you can sometimes hear disturbed fuel flow in it, unpleasant. Steering wheel could be more grippy. I'm not sure if econ reduces power, maybe just dampens. But it gives one very nice feature to cruise control: it reacts gradually to changes not trying to speed up instantly. Even on low profile tyres bumps are dealt superb, it's one of the big surprises in this car. But sound proofing from road noice is not good, I even don't like listening music for that. Steering is also really precise, but wide tyres makes bit nervous on tracked roads. Visibility and ergonomics for such futuristic design is just great, as the dashboard. Magic seats are fantastic, I put my dog to sit in there :) My main complain is sound proofing from road noise. But I like it.

5:51 if you have heavy foot in Urban conditions this car will take around 7.5-8liters. If you know how to use this engine efficient you will go down to 6.8 as tested on -8°C temp filling the tank. BC shows at least 0.5 liters more if not more. So don't get scared.😂

Good review, not sure if Honda NZ will bring the tourer in, we drive the Hatch 1.8 petrol and must say it's a fantastic drive. You are right about needing to stretch the petrol to get it going, I also switch off econ and use the paddle shifters to liven it up. Handling is brilliant!, it feels screwed to the road around country bends and the build quality as you rightly pointed out is fantastic. The design may not be for all, I personally love it as it offers a refreshing respite from the ordinary.

Thanks a lot!! I'm 1,92 mtr tall, and was pretty interested. Now I'll head for a testdrive to see if my head bumps the ceiling.

Just bought one , made in 🇬🇧👍

Taller drivers will push the driver seat back and will have more headspace when compared to your seating position as the roof gets higher towards the back.

Interesting fact also that weight of Hatchback model and Tourer is almost same difference only 20kg .😂 Tourer weights only 1300kg.

It's great car I own 1.6dtec , very good on juice, doing 2500-3000k miles a month, very spacious, I'm 183cm not feel claustrophobic at all all ucgot to do is use the lever and lower the seat max down , highly recommend

По-настоящему универсальная машинка!

nice review marek!!!

Thank you Marek. Useful review.

Odličan Video... Odličan auto

Good review. Thanks Marek

Hi Mark! Thx for do tourer test. I am 189 cm high and just looking for such a detailed test. Thx a lot again :-)

Hi Marek, great reviews! I'm living in Poland, and I'm thinking about getting the civic 5D or a mazda 3 hatchback, what's your advice? I was in a mazda 3 sedan 2014 before, I had enough head clearance, however the civic's interior seems to appeal me more, I haven't seen it in person though. Comfortable ride, fuel efficiency and reliability are very important to me. Thanks in advance.

Is there a difference in backseat space in the Civic compared to the Auris?

Ничего не понял, но было интересно. Теперь так же по Русски.

Everyone says it got high cabin noice and harch dampers. Want to see accord...

DYNAMICALLY .......rajt xD

Is this car available in the US or is exclusive to the UK?

A bit late to this. But I am 1m88cm and have absolutely no problem sitting in the drivers seet in this thing. :)

This guy tried to be slick... he clearly wears/drives in stocking when he's not filming 👀

is the quality of the civic better than those on nissan pulsar? i have to make the decision for second car, normal city-around activity and a little bit of autobahn, kids for school...things you don't want your heavy diesel-kombi use for. what would you say?

Iam 182 cm and I have more headspace than you.I dunno how is that the lowest seat position if you are 175 cm..

I would like to see more of the car and less of you!
