Honda is dreaming. They're pricing themselves out of the market.

In Romania, the prices are: 34,500Eu, 36,000Eu and 39,500Eu. I ordered the Sport version in February, it arrived in September and I have already done 6,000km with it and an average consumption of 5l/100km. It's an incredible car, the reaction in the accelerator pedal, the ease with which the brake is dosed, the very good comfort in the conditions where the chassis is rigid and the suspension is exemplary in the turns. A little noisy with summer tires but unexpectedly sharp with winter tires. 410l trunk is not much, but if you know what you want from a car, the Civic is an excellent choice.

Ireland 50k , model 3 43k, Corolla 36k, - who would pay 50k -

50k for a Civic? There's the answer.

Lovely looking car. I hope Saloons / Sedans make a come back as they look so classy and they tend to be more economical due their aerodynamics in comparison to currently popular crossovers.

The car pricingis positioned between luxury german brands and more affordable budget segment. Premium level spec and drive, for a little more than a budget sedan. A car to drive for ten years.

Agree! This car has everything! Expensive but it's really superlative.

In Australia, sales numbers are low but the wait times for one are significant (~8 months) because the factory in Japan is heavily constrained by chip shortages. The price doesn't help and it should definitely be a lot more popular than it is!

its a wonderful car! Worth every penny and where I live cars are expensive due to high tax. I love it and I drive quiet a lot!

I'd pay 35k for one. Not 50k

The Civic eHev is a very desirable car. I am yet to see a bad review of it. The issue is its $55,000 drive away in Australia which is getting up there in price.

I waited for my U.K. spec. blue Advance for a full year. After having various powerful Merc’s and BMWs (last car was a M340i), the Civic really is the best engineered and built car I’ve had. A few things let it down (lack of tech. e.g. not even sat nav rerouting due to traffic nor a smartphone app), the inability to switch off the fake engine noise in Sport mode plus the ridiculously noisy sunroof when it’s open, but overall it genuinely drives as well with a better ride than my M340i that I no longer needed because I am now retired at 58 and the car sits in my garage more of the time so spending so much on a replacement M340i just wasn’t worth it.

Mark. Great review! Okay yes too expensive. Honda need to look at that. However! Never to miss an opportunity! The Honda Civic every day before a silly stupid Tesla Model ..well any of the s*** vehicles coming from this bizarre brand. And let me throw in anything Kia or Hyundai. Check out the performance of the Civic. Impressive! Hybrid. Like Honda cars, the Civic will be around for decades and still going. As you highlight quality, design, attention to detail. No gimmicks and big central TVs! The Civic is better than and iD VW nonsense too. So just compare in value. The Civic should be at the top of the list for so many considering so many alternatives. The current design language of Honda is bang on! Thank you. The Civic is without doubt one of the best cars available in the world today.

Looked at a new crv before buying my last car, even the Honda dealer said they are way over priced.

+1 for physical buttons at least. I still don't get why all these touchscreens and basically in-car iPads are legal when you can be done for touching your phone when driving.

Honda showrooms where I live don't have any honda cars.You can get a decent spec skoda octavia 1.5 petrol with very good fuel consumption,  600 litre boot for 35k. 72 civics sold here in Ireland says it all.

Beautiful car Nobby. Can quite understand your enthusiasm for it. Good review as always. I think it has sonar rather than radar, though.

A lovely motor , but I think Honda have over priced the Civic and the fact its a 2lt petrol hybrid will turn a lot of people off , and as you said they don't seem to be really pushing the brand in Ireland and the UK like they used to , and as usual a honest review 👍

We own a Civic hybrid too, 20.000 km so far. Our only complaint is that there are a lot of rattles inside the cabin, especially when driving on rough roads. We had two SEAT Leons before and never had this problem.

It's too expensive. I drive a Honda, but I wouldn't pay what they're asking for any of their range at present. Keep up the good work, Mark. Love your reviews!
