HONDA has a new Civic primed and ready to go next month, with prices starting from £18,235.
It's the 10th generation of the company's family hatchback, and Honda has thrown more investment and engineering resources at the new car than any other model in its history - it better be good...
The range starts with an S trim model with a 129PS VTEC Turbo engine and manual gearbox and peaks at £27,480 for a 182PS VTEC Turbo in 'Prestige' trim with a CVT gearbox.
The industry trend towards smaller, so-called 'downsized' engines has been embraced by Honda, with a 1.0-litre three-cylinder unit responsible for the 129PS car and a 1.5-litre four-cylinder in the 182PS models.
Industry experts and residual value setters CAP forecast the British-built 10th generation Civic will hold up to 37 per cent of its value after 36 months and 60,000 miles.
