Honda Civic Type-R long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

the CAR road test team, 25 September 2008 12:00

Long-term test goodbye, 20 October 2008. Twelve months ago RO57 JJV turned up looking like it had arrived from another planet. Three-door Civics were (and still are) a rare sight, and matched to a lustrous ‘Milano’ red paint our Type-R attracted attention like no other hot-hatch. However, judging from the comments below, not all have fallen for the Civic’s styling like us… After ...

Honda Jazz 1.4 ES i-SHIFT (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 02 September 2008 09:00

The arrival of a new Honda Jazz means an old folks' favourite is back. Bigger inside and more versatile than any other rival, the outgoing Jazz was a runaway success with retired types. The new car is longer, wider and more spacious than ever, and offers up all-new engines and a new gearbox, plus a hybrid version is coming. But ...

Honda Accord 2.2 i-DTEC CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Steve Moody, 07 April 2008 00:00

Honda’s European-spec Accord has never really succeeded. It’s always been a humdrum family saloon with a mainstream badge, but with premium pretensions. So what to do with the new Accord? Give it a radical remake like the Civic and attract a fashion-conscious crowd? Or up the price, the kit count, and give it same-again looks? It’s the latter that Honda has ...

Honda S2000 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Nick Trott, 14 February 2008 09:44

Honda’s S2000 is a curious car. Tucked inside that pretty, pointy body are all the ingredients to make it one of the finest sports cars on sale today; ballistic high revving engine, front-engine/rear wheel drive, snappy shift and snappier looks. The S2000's 2.0-litre i-VTEC engine even won International Engine of the Year for four consecutive years (2001 – 2004) and the manual ...

Honda Accord Sport GT CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 01 November 2007 09:51

The Accord. Been around a while now, hasn’t it? Yep, that’s right. The seventh generation Honda Accord has been around since 2003, and it’s been popular all that time thanks to its sharp looks, precise build quality and a range that includes a diesel and an estate. There’s little that’s radically new about the Sport GT. It’s aimed directly at ...

Honda FCX CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 01 August 2007 02:00

So this is a ‘production fuel cell car’? Can’t find it in the Honda price list… You won’t. California law requires big car makers to offer zero-emission vehicles as part of their line-up, and the hydrogen fuel-cell powered FCX is Honda’s latest. It will hand-build fewer than 100 from 2008 and ‘lease’ them to high-profile or worthy users for a ...

Honda Civic IMA CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 27 June 2007 12:44

The poor man’s Prius? The Civic IMA is certainly cheaper than the better-known Prius, starting from £16,300 to the Toyota’s £17,765. Its propulsion principle is the same; IMA stands for Integrated Motor Assist. Both cars are petrol-electric hybrids and use batteries to store the energy that would otherwise be lost during braking. That energy is then sent to an electric ...

Honda Civic Type R Rally CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 26 April 2007 04:14

What’s this – I didn't know Honda was going rallying? It’s not, well, not just yet. Let me explain. In 2005, the FIA World Council decided to create a new cost-effective rally championship for 2007, called the Intercontinental Rally Challenge. The nine-round calendar for 2007 includes some classic stages like the Sanremo and Safari rallies, as well as some more ...

Honda Civic Type R CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 30 January 2007 10:06

Feels like we’ve been waiting an eternity but the Type R is finally here Yes it's been tough for us too. We’ve had a terrible couple of years where we’ve had to suffer endless parades of 500bhp Mercs and BMWs while waiting for Honda to get its act together and give us the new Type R. Truth be told we ...

Honda Legend 3.5i CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 08 December 2006 08:30

Legend? Quite an appropriate name. I don’t think I’ve seen one in the metal since 1989 In fact it was only a couple of years ago that the last Legend disappeared from Car’s GBU although truth be told we were umming and aahhing about removing it for a while as sightings were so rare that its existence seemed to be ...
