Honda Civic 2014 pictures

The Civic is Honda's entry to the fiercely competitive compact family hatch market.

The Civic has been updated for 2015 with new suspension, sharper steering and a facelift. 

The interior is solidly screwed together, but the layour can be confusing.

The Civic features Honda's 'Magic Seats', so the seats will not only fold flat, but also flip up cinema-style to accommodate taller items. 

The boot offers 447 litres of space.

The recent facelift added LED daytime running lights, reshaped bumpers and revised rear spoiler. 

Rear spoiler still bisects the rear screen, and ultimately hinders rear visibility. 

The Civic is offered in four different trim levels - S, SE Plus, SR, EX. There's also the hardcore Type R for those looking for some serious driving thrills.

Honda offers a range of three engines with the Civic, 1.4 and 1.8-litre petrols and a 1.6-litre diesel. 

The Honda Civic is now in its ninth generation. 

The Civic is offered with a range of petrol and diesel engines. 

Inside, the Civic benefits from good-quality materials, but the layout won't suit everyone.

The Honda Civic feels good to drive and is comfortable on UK roads thanks to liquid-filled rear suspension bushes.

The best engine option in the Honda Civic is the 1.6-litre diesel engine that produces 118bhp, and returns a claimed 78mpg. 

Space in the back is slightly restricted by a sloping roofline and a narrow bench, but the rear features Honda's signature 'Magic Seats' that fold flat or flip up, cinema seat-style.
