Honda Civic Tourer 1.6 i-DTEC
What is it?
The Tourer is the new estate version of the Honda Civic.
It represents a return for Honda to the Golf-sized estate segment, traditionally a quiet part of the market but one enlivened in the last year or two by the arrival of a much more convincing Volkswagen Golf Variant, the impressive new SEAT Leon ST and the sporty estate version of the Ford Focus ST.
Honda Civic Tourer prices start at £20,265 for the petrol-engined 1.8i-VTEC versions but most buyers, especially company car users, will probably be looking at the smooth and economical, low-CO2 1.6 i-DTEC model which has a £21,920 entry point.
Order books are now open and the first cars arrived in UK dealerships in February.
