Honda Civic 2.2 i-DTEC (2012) CAR Review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Kendall (photography by George F Williams), 23 December 2011 06:00

Swindon’s most famous export (aside from Billie Piper) has had a re-boot. The all-new, ninth-generation Honda Civic will go on sale in January 2012, and gently evolves the space-age Civic of 2006 – itself a radical departure from the safe, blue-rinse optimised Civics of old. First impressions count, and oddly some of the most memorable design flourishes which gave the ...

Honda CR-Z hybrid (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Anonymous, 19 May 2010 11:56

This isn’t what I’d been led to expect. The new 2010 Honda CR-Z hybrid coupe is billed as ‘the world’s first sporty hybrid’, so I’d anticipated something a bit more electric and 21st century; something weird, whooshy, torquey and maybe a bit aloof. But instead of being fast-forwarded a decade, it’s all gone a bit Life on Mars. The new ...

Honda Walking Assist devices (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 23 October 2009 11:22

If you thought yesterday’s CAR test of Honda’s U3-X electric unicycle was weird, wait until you here about these two ‘walking assist’ devices. Since 1999 Honda has been researching and developing walking assist devices for people with leg problems, and CAR has just tested two such contraptions. Read on for our full review. So what are these new Honda walking ...

Honda U3-X (2009) CAR slide review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman (photos by Mark Fagelson), 22 October 2009 10:55

The new Honda U3-X might look like a glorified unicycle but beneath the carbonfibre skin it’s a fiendishly clever bit of kit. Unveiled at the 2009 Tokyo motor show earlier this week, it’s one of Honda’s latest-generation personal mobility devices. CAR has just ridden the concept, so read on for our first slide review. Tell me all about the Honda ...

Honda Civic Type R Mugen (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 21 October 2009 10:00

The Honda Civic Type R Mugen is going into production. Yes, it might have been the worst kept secret in the world, but now Honda and Mugen have officially announced that they will produce a limited number of tuned and tweaked Euro-spec Civic Type Rs for the UK. Just 20 will be made, each will cost £38,599, and if you ...

Honda Civic Type R Mugen concept (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton (photography by Mark Fagelson), 18 September 2009 09:29

Who’s Mugen? I thought the Civic was made by Honda...Mugen is a tuning company and engine builder that specialises in Honda cars and bikes. Although it’s technically independent from Honda, the company was set up by a son of Soichiro Honda himself – and has done everything from bodykits for the Jazz to F1 engines. And now the European arm ...

Honda S2000 Edition 100 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Mark Walton, 30 March 2009 12:00

To mark the end of its S2000 roadster after a decade of production, Honda UK is selling just 100 examples of this special run-out model, all in Grand Prix White with special graphite alloys, a red leather interior, and a serial number on the kick plate. But ten years on, can the S2000 still cut the mustard? Has it really ...

Honda Insight (2009) petrol-electric hybrid CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 19 January 2009 15:09

That’s no Honda Insight hybrid car. Where are the Ford T-Bird wheel skirts? You’re thinking of the original petrol-electric Honda Insight from the late 1990s. This is Insight hybrid Mk2. It’s still a petrol-electric hybrid but instead of two seats, this one’s got room for five. It’s meant to be a mainstream green car, a hybrid that will appeal to ...

Honda Civic Type R LSD (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 30 December 2008 09:00

We like the Civic Type R here at CAR. Really like it. But there’s always been one thing that’s bothered us: the colour choices. Let me explain. The brilliant driver’s car that was the ’90s Integra Type R wore an iconic white colour scheme. When Honda farewelled the NSX with a Type R special edition? Also white. Even the last ...

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

Rated 3 out of 53

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 ...
