Honda Civic (hatchback / Tourer / sedan) · X (FK/FC)

Lower, wider, conventional rear axle (multi-link) and turbo petrols: the 1.0 VTEC Turbo (126 hp) and 1.5 VTEC Turbo (182 hp) plus the 1.6 i-DTEC. The FK8 Type R (320 hp) is one of the great front-drive cars. Reliability is strong; oil dilution on the 1.5 in cold climates is the known item.
