The European Honda Civic only comes in hatchback form, and also has a 2.2 liter i-CTDi turbodiesel version in the model range. So far most reviews have said the 2.2 i-CTDi manual Honda Civic is the best choice from the line-up. Looks like the European market really really likes diesel, and Honda’s new powerplant is a winner. Video is after the jump. [...] [...] Fifth Gear, a British automotive show reviews the 2006 Honda Civic hatchback.

I really WANT to be a Honda fan again...but the one car that I really want from them...they are not letting me have. I hope that somebody talks to them and lets them know that there are LOTS of people over here who would buy the 5-door civic and that we are feeling like they are punishing us and teasing us by showing us something that we can't have... I saw the pictures and loved this thing and was very excited about buying ... but now, its hard to be excited about it at all. Hope Honda changes their minds and brings it over... I would be a big fan-- but till then, its all bittersweet. BM I heard that it will NOT be available in the US ( the 5-door 2006)– which is VERY disapointing.

Like some readers here observed it looks a little like the Gen2 and a also the Mazda Lantis hatchback in the general shape....but much better. Looks a little tight for backseat room and a rather shallow and short boot design. Yep, very radical, very much for young buyers…….overall embarks a totally new design philosophy from Honda.
