The Honda Civic e:HEV is a family car with a Race Car attitude. I say this after driving the car for a week on several long journies. On some, I had five people with me, others alone and able to push the car's performance.
The original Civic has been around for nearly fifty years and sold in hundreds of thousands globally; it is that popular. Well made, reliable, and practical, it provides you with all your basic requirements from a vehicle. The latest Electric Hybrid model maintains all the assets of the generations of Civics and brings new qualities and benefits.
When I say the Civic e:HEV has a race car attitude, it comes from the heritage of the model participating in motorsport and developing from this association. It means you get a car with excellent performance and handling for its class, making it entertaining to drive fast when you can, confident of the vehicle's capabilities. I was impressed with the power delivery, and when you put your foot down, the pull away feels quicker than the figures suggest. The car grips the road well, and you can quickly push it through the twisties or tackle roundabouts at speed when you can.
