New Cars
Good: Impressively quiet and strong i-DTEC diesel engine, feels well built and reliable, high refinement and comfort levels, styling looks upmarket, lots of underfloor boot storage.
Bad: Petrol engines combined with automatic gearbox not as impressive.
Good: Good ride comfort. High quality feel. Huge loadspace and versatile rear seats. 2.2 i-DTEC diesel emits just 110g/km. All engines chain cam.
Bad: Not as much a drivers car as previous Civic.
Good: Almost 'D sector' development of 2012 Civic into a station wagon.
Bad: Not until 2014 and will probably mark the death knell of the Accord in the UK.
Good: Luxurious and more efficient than before. Softest riding and most stress-free SUV under £30,000.
Bad: It's a car not an off-roader. Petrol engine not as good as the diesel.
Good: Great looking hybrid sports coupe. Fun to drive. Performance Mugen version available.
Bad: Poor rear visibility through split rear window. Rear seats for very small kids only.
Good: Original model over 100g/km but London congestion charge exempt if registered before 2011. Under 100gkm CO2 from 2012. Fairly easy to achieve good economy,
Bad: CVT gearbox doesn't like hard acceleration. Some of the interior quality isn't up to usual Honda standards. Toyota Prius feels a better car.
Good: Neatly styled. Increased room and better performance than original Jazz. More fun to drive. Very versatile. CVT-7 returned in February 2011 replacing i-SHIFT.
Bad: Six-speed i-SHIFT automated manual disliked and did not bring Jazz under 120g/km CO2. Gearbox bearing problems on manual.
Good: Spacious, high quality interior. Easy to get in and out of. Retains 'Magic Seat' versatility. Officially capable of 62.8mpg.
Bad: Expensive list prices. Emits 104g/km of CO2 so not exempt from the central London congestion charge (this may change). CVT box smooth but this is no sports car.
