Honda Civic tops car value poll

Honda Civic tops car value poll

The clamour for the new Honda Civic could rise after it was named as the best value car on UK roads.

At the recent Parkers Cost of Motoring New Car Awards 2012 the Civic topped its medium hatchback category and was named overall winner.

The car was judged against a range of hidden costs including fuel consumption, depreciation, servicing, breakdown cover and road tax over a three year period and beat off all other rivals.

To give Honda a further boost, the Jazz 1.3 IMA HE Hybrid also took the top gong in the Eco Car category title for the second year running.

Kieren Puffett, editor of Parkers, said: "The medium hatchback category is a hugely-competitive market so to have a winner here is truly a tremendous achievement and that is why we are not only delighted to announce that the Honda Civic Hatchback 1.4 i-VTEC SE five door wins the Parkers Cost of Motoring New Car Awards for the Medium Hatchback category, but is also the overall winner."
