<title><![CDATA[Honda Insight : SECOND SIGHT]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - Hybrids need to get more affordable if enough people are going to drive them. Honda's Insight is leading the charge. Steve Walker reports.It's an interesting idea that a large part of the problem of harmful vehicle emissions could be solved not by incredible new propulsion technologies but by adjusting the attitudes of us, their drivers. Instead of getting in and launching ourselves from point A to point B in the shortest time possible, what if we could install efficiency as our number one priority on a car journey? Honda's Insight is a car that tries to encourage just such a paradigm shift. Yes it's a high-tech hybrid but the way it employs its technology also gives pause for thought.This isn't the first Insight Honda has sold in the UK. There's a very good chance that you'll have no recollection whatsoever of the original 1999 Insight which introduced hybrid engine technology to the UK market. It was a quirky economy coupe with back wheels half hidden beneath its bodywork and a claimed 83mpg combined fuel economy. It looked as you'd imagine a car of the future might - weird. Nobody bought it. Despite the lack of commercial success, Honda had set the hybrid ball rolling and its follow up, the 2003 Civic IMA saloon, was more palatable for the public. Not as palatable as the Toyota Prius, however, the car which stole Honda's thunder with its star-studded celebrity endorsements and got people talking about hybrid cars. With the latest Civic IMA continuing to battle it out with the latest Prius, Honda is positioning the Insight as the affordable hybrid. It's a move which could easily find favour amongst the large numbers of people who are more interested in saving money than the planet but would be delighted if they can do both."Honda's aim of producing a more affordable and accessible hybrid car is a laudable one"So can the Insight change the way we drive and if so, how's it going to do it? The obvious answer is that with just 87bhp, a CVT automatic gearbox and a leisurely 0-60mph sprint of 12.5s, owners can attempt to drive as fast as they like but their efforts are likely to be thwarted. Eventually, drivers should get the aggression out of their systems and settle into the Insight's way of doing things. The central instrument read out is the key to all this. Drive in a relaxed manner, tickling the throttle underfoot like it were a giant over-ripe strawberry, and the dash glows in a calming green light. Get a bit over enthusiastic and the green hue fades, eventually turning blue if you're really getting carried away. At this point you can picture the family of polar bears falling through the hole you've just made in the ice cap. Maintain a green approach and a little plant symbol illuminates on the Insight's display as a reward, it's possible to get up to five of these sprouts lit but you might need to fit a sail to achieve this. At the end of your journey the car will give you an average rating to show how eco-friendly you've been on your journey. The car doesn't rely completely on sedating its drivers into an on-going battle of environmental one-upmanship against themselves. It also has Honda's clever IMA petrol/electric drivetrain to fall back on. The engine is a 1.3-litre unit based on the one in the Civic Hybrid and featuring a series of neat innovations. During deceleration, the cylinders are closed off by the VCM (Variable Cylinder Management) system to boost efficiency and numerous modifications have been made to reduce friction inside the engine. The petrol unit might only have 87bhp but it is assisted by a 14bhp electric motor driven by power from a bank of nickel hydride batteries under the boot floor. These are recharged by energy reclaimed from the wheels when braking or coasting. This Insight is a massively less challenging vehicle to look at than the original oddball coupe but Toyota might be less enamoured with the shape than the rest of us because of the resemblance it bears to the Prius. Honda stuck with a hatchback design to ensure the car's compatibility with European tastes and despite being a little hefty around the hindquarters, it's a sleek and mildly futuristic shape. The dash has the chunky buttons and slightly cluttered feel of the Civic and the Accord but like in these cars, initial concern that you'll need a few hours with the owner's manual before you can change the radio station should quickly subside as the controls prove intuitive to use. The five-door body style of the Insight opens up the possibility of using it as family transport. Head room in the back seats is restricted by that aerodynamic roof line but otherwise space is plentiful. Despite the presence of the batteries, the boot is a generous 408 litres and the rear seats can fold to increase that capacity. Compared to conventional family hatchback models, the car can hold its own. The trim levels take on a familiar Honda structure with SE, ES and ES-T models on offer. All have the five-door bodystyle and a CVT gearbox with seven artificially constructed ratios. Equipment includes climate control air-conditioning, a CD stereo, electric mirrors, electric windows and VSA stability control. Buyers will need to upgrade to the ES in order to get 16" alloy wheels, cruise control, wheel-mounted paddle shifters for the gearbox and other extras. The ES-T adds satellite navigation and a hands free phone kit. It's all very well plumbing advanced hybrid power trains into high end cars which sell to a small number of wealthy customers but to have a significant impact on the problem of global vehicle emissions, clean vehicles are going to have to become much more commonplace. That means becoming more affordable and that is Honda's thinking with the Insight. Designed to slot in to the market beneath the Civic IMA and its Toyota Prius rival, the Insight is priced at equivalent levels to conventional family hatchbacks. So what's the environmental upshot of all the Insight's technology and environmental prompting? The car returns 64.2mpg on the combined cycle with emissions of 101g/km. That's impressive and before you point out that you can get better from a diesel city car, remember that diesel engines open a whole further can of worms with their high emissions of nitrogen oxide and particulate matter. Reducing these might not save you money in Europe but in America and Japan they are far more stringently taxed. Over here, you'll have to make do with the knowledge that you're helping those polar bears. To come close to replicating the Insight's official economy figures, you'll need to drive it in Eco Assist mode. This reduces the throttle response to smooth out the engine's work load and cuts back on the efforts of the climate control system. It's engaged by pressing a big green button on the dash and if you're going to buy an Insight, you may as well keep it pressed most of the time. Honda's Insight is a car that not only aims to cut its emissions through advanced technological solutions, it also seeks to modify the behaviour of its drivers - turning them into an army of chilled out eco-warriors in the process. By presenting a whole range of information about how efficiently you're driving, it's a car with real potential to alter the way we think about getting from A to B. Honda's aim of producing a more affordable and accessible hybrid car is a laudable one but by bringing the technology to the masses the brand is also hoping to turn a tidy profit. There's nothing wrong with that. If the problem of vehicle emissions is to be successfully combated, there must be incentives for manufacturers and consumers to take the plunge. If the prospect of the Insight's moderate thirst and tiny tax burden don't do the trick in the showroom, customers could well be persuaded by the opportunity the car presents for them to do their bit.Facts At A Glance CAR: Honda Insight PRICES: £15,990-£18,890 - on the road INSURANCE GROUPS: 5-7 [est] CO2 EMISSIONS: 101g/km PERFORMANCE: 0-62mph 12.5s / top speed 113mph FUEL CONSUMPTION: (urban) 61.4mpg, (extra urban) 67.3mpg, (combined) 64.2mpg STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: Front, side and curtain airbags, VSA, ABS, EBD.

<title><![CDATA[Honda Civic 1.8 i-VTEC : REV HEAD]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - The 1.8-litre i-VTEC petrol engine is well suited to Honda's high-tech Civic. Steve Walker reportsâ€¦Historically, Honda have never been too keen on diesel. Forget the fact that their 2.2-litre i-CTDi engine is available in models from across their range and has been widely hailed as a triumph by commentators. It was, after all, only a couple of decades ago that the top brass from the big `H' were resolute in their opinion that diesel had nothing to offer over good-old unleaded. Such a conviction might seem misguided with hindsight and in context of a modern European car market increasingly besotted with diesel cars but to be fair, Honda were in possession of some of the world's finest petrol engine technology at the time these views were prevalent. They still are and in the 1.8-litre Honda Civic, i-VTEC petrol power continues to make a strong case for itself.How could Honda have known of the huge leaps forward that diesel engine technology would make over such a short period? It took almost everyone by surprise when diesel cars transmogrified, over the space of just a few years, from fume-belching clatter wagons into highly efficient technological showcases oozing with mid-range torque. In the end, any lack of foresight that there was didn't matter much. Honda eventually turned their renowned engineering expertise to the problem of diesel and came up with the 2.2-litre i-CTDi engine which went straight to the head of its class. Today's Civic benefits from that unit as well as the 1.8-litre i-VTEC petrol we feature here. Despite the diesel's capacity to grab the headlines, the petrol option has undeniable charm that dates back to old-school Honda. Honda VTEC petrol engines are characterised by their high-revving performance and the i-VTEC 1.8 in the Civic is the latest incarnation of that line. It produces its maximum output of 138bhp at a lofty 6,300rpm, inviting the driver to hold each gear and explore the upper reaches of the rev range to achieve the quickest progress. The reward for flirting with the red line is a charismatic high-pitched growl and an 8.9s 0-60mph time but the beauty of the i-VTEC technology is that for the 90% of the time when most drivers don't feel like putting the hammer down, it remains relatively subdued and economical."It's a highly advanced free-revving petrol engine in the best Honda traditions"The 1.8-litre engine pours its power on smoothly and you can still make good progress without letting the revs rise up towards 6,000rpm. There's 174Nm of torque being generated at 4,300rpm and combined fuel economy of 42.2mpg is very good for a 1.8-litre family hatchback (Vauxhall's Astra 1.8 manages a 10.1s 0-60mph time and returns 36mpg). The i-VTEC system achieves its impressive results through the art of variable valve timing and lift. The engine incorporates twin sets of cams to intelligently adjust the valves which control the volume of air entering the engine. During acceleration or other high engine loads, the high-output cams work to boost performance but when you're just pottering around, the fuel economy cams take over to maximise efficiency. This also has benefits in terms of emissions, with the 1.8-litre engine's 155g/km CO2 output being lower than some smaller cars with smaller engines. The Civic 1.8 i-VTEC is available across most of the entire trim level range, which means SE, ES, ES-GT, EX and EX-GT versions of the car in five-door form or you can also go for the sportier three-door Type-S with this engine. All variants come with power steering, a height adjustable driver's seat, remote keyless entry, central locking, a rear spoiler and twin chrome exhausts. Once you've settled on a trim level, there's a choice of 6-speed manual or i-Shift semi-automatic gearboxes. The Civic offers a really good driving position with firm side bolsters in the seat for support and the headrest hovering just behind your cranium. The pedals feel well weighted underfoot and there's a large foot rest area to give the left peg a break from clutching duties. The power assisted steering is very light and direct, greatly simplifying low speed work. That said, there's little feedback through the wheel and things can get slightly twitchy on the motorway because of this steering sharpness. The gear lever flows around the standard six-speed gearbox with finger-light ease but the action isn't as reassuring or solid as in top rivals. The Civic has plenty of grip and does much to inspire confidence through the corners. Overall, there's no doubt it's up amongst the class best handlers. This is a great-looking car, a real head-turner, but the designers have taken this futuristic high-tech line rather than going for the classically beautiful. The decision does leave question marks about how the ground-breaking look will age but whether or not the years are kind to the Civic, dull rivals like Ford's Focus and Toyota's Auris will never look as good as this Honda does now. Once you get past that swoosh of light and plastic across the car's nose, the plunging bonnet line and the multi-angled rear end, it's the detailing that stays with you. The triangular exhausts, the split rear windscreen, the concealed rear door handles and the recessed front ones: Honda have pulled out the stops to make this car different. Inside, you're confronted with a daunting array of buttons and digital displays that make you instinctively feel like reaching to the owner's manual, but it's not as complex as it looks. The information you need is laid out in two tiers with the digital speedo and optional satellite navigation system located near the base of the windscreen so your eyes needn't divert too far from the road ahead. The rev counter, fuel gauge and trip computer are lower in a more conventional instrument binnacle. Again, it's the detailing that's most eye-catching; the red starter button on the driver's right, the tactile control dials for the air-con and the sat nav. None of it would feel out of place in an executive saloon and the steering wheel is one of the most comfortable designs around. There's a large blind spot created by the thick C pillar and the split rear window also restricts rearward visibility. Overall though, the Civic is riddled with great design. It's practical too: the car is actually shorter and lower than its predecessor but it's wider by 45mm and, crucially, the wheelbase is increased to 2,640mm. General interior space is good and there's a massive 485 litres of capacity in the boot. The 60:40 split rear seat backs can be folded down to increase this space or the seat bases can be simply pulled up, producing a separate load compartment between the front seats and the boot. In a money-no-object buying decision, the i-CTDi diesel will still get the nod from most but at £1,500 less, the 1.8-litre i-VTEC petrol will appeal to cost-conscious customers. It's a highly advanced free-revving petrol engine in the best Honda traditions and it suits the high-tech Civic down to the ground.Facts At A Glance CAR: Honda Civic 1.8 range PRICES: £16,355-£20,310 - on the road INSURANCE GROUPS: 9E-11E CO2 EMISSIONS: 152-165g/km PERFORMANCE: 0-60mph 8.9s / Max Speed 127mph FUEL CONSUMPTION: (combined) 42.2mpg STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: Twin front, side and curtain airbags, ABS, VSA WILL IT FIT IN YOUR GARAGE?: [5dr] length/width/heightmm 4250/1760/1460mm]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Honda Civic Hybrid : SHE'S ELECTRIC]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - Honda's latest generation Hybrid Civic is an eco-friendly car without caveats. Andy Enright reportsâ€¦It's taken some time but the viable hybrid car is finally with us. Until fairly recently hybrids were bought by publicity seekers or sanctimonious politicians. Real people were priced out of the market by fledgling technology that often proved impractical and unreliable. That's no longer the case and cars like Honda's Civic Hybrid now offer excellent fuel economy, low emissions, decent performance, everyday practicality and an affordable price tag. Small wonder that Honda is rather proud of this model.The Hybrid marks a very different tack for Honda and it's one whereby the company have been forced to backtrack slightly. Honda's initial take on the hybrid theme was based around Integrated Motor Assist, whereby the petrol engine would run at all times but would be augmented under acceleration with the additional torque of an electric motor. The first car to use this system, the Insight, was wildly impractical. Although it was reasonably good fun to drive, the wacky looks, bulky battery packs, enormous price and two-seater layout relegated it to curiosity status only. Shortly afterwards Toyota launched their Prius, a car that also featured a petrol engine and electric motor but which could run purely on electric power at low speeds and modest throttle openings. It was an instant hit. Honda battled on with their Civic IMA, but when Toyota launched their second generation Prius, it was clear which system customers preferred and Honda have rather pragmatically shelved the first generation Integrated Motor Assist system in favour of propulsion a little more like the Prius. Honda hasn't stopped there, however, and in some respects the Civic makes the Prius look a little old fashioned. The powerplant is five per cent more compact than that of the old Civic IMA but hikes power by 20 per cent. Now good for a full 113bhp from its 1.4-litre engine, this Civic also utilises a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to help optimise the engine's torque to best effect."More powerful, more spacious, cleaner and less thirsty than its predecessor, the Civic Hybrid is the current state of the art in responsible motoring"Performance figures seem rather churlish when reviewing a hybrid car, but if you're interested, the Civic will get to 60mph in 12.1 seconds and run on to a top speed of 115mph which would be respectable for a 1.8-litre car, let alone a 1.4. Of far more relevance is a combined fuel consumption figure of 61.4mpg and carbon dioxide emissions of just 109g/km. It also undercuts the Prius on price, with a price tag of around £18,000 in ES guise. There's also a plusher EX variant on offer for around £20,000. But why a saloon? Haven't Honda created an amazing power system and then ruined its chances by putting it into a four door car. Haven't they consulted the sales data? Small saloons are about as popular in this country as a dose of the bird flu. Step back and widen your perspective and you'll understand Honda's rationale. Since 1997 only 8,000 hybrid cars have been sold in the UK. That's not a lot. Compare that to the 110,000 hybrid sales that Honda have notched up worldwide in the last five years and you'll see that we're small beer. Ninety per cent of those sales have been in the US and Japan, markets that are very receptive to four door saloons. Honda's aiming to double its European sales figures to 5,000 cars a year, but that's still quite a modest aspiration. Besides, there's another reason why this car actually works better as a four door saloon. Hatchback buyers like the benefit of folding the rear seats flat for added practicality. The battery pack in this car resides behind the rear seats so that wouldn't be possible in any case. Compared to the sleek Swindon-built Civic hatch, the Japanese-built saloon does look a little frumpy but it's certainly a good deal better looking than any other comparably priced hybrid. The interior is a good deal more spacious than the old Civic IMA and the dashboard is far more attractive, with an adventurously three-dimensional look. Convinced yet? Well if not, maybe you need to be convinced over the whole subject of hybrid technology. For decades, the motor industry has struggled to bring us anything better than a choice between petrol and diesel power. Only electric cars have offered the prospect of something new but they've usually been dismissed as sluggards that need their batteries charging every five minutes. Only with hybrid technology has battery power become a viable everyday option for ordinary buyers: the system of petrol push when you need it, constantly charging the batteries so that there's electric frugality when you don't. This latest generation engine cuts out at idle, reverting to purely electric mode and also increases engine braking effect when decelerating to charge the battery packs even more effectively. Residuals values are likely to be another issue of concern for customers - though not, it seems, for industry analysts. CAP Monitor expect the new technology to create a premium on the used car market of around 1.5% when it comes to used values. As far as overall cost per mile is concerned, independent data for Service Maintenance and Repair (SMR) costs indicate highly competitive figures equal to or less than other Focus or Astra Family Hatchback-sector models. Exemption from the London congestion charge is also a major plus for capital-bound motorists. The great thing about the Civic Hybrid is the fact that it is outwardly so unexceptional. No onerous demands are placed on the owner in return for this technological showpiece. It drives well, is easy and cost effective to own and has a few tricks up its sleeve. It's so easy to become rather pessimistic about the way motoring is going but cars like the Civic Hybrid show that fun and responsibility can go hand in hand.Facts At A Glance CAR: Honda Civic Hybrid PRICE: £17,970-£20,450 - on the road INSURANCE GROUP: 7 CO2 EMISSIONS: 109g/km PERFORMANCE: 0-60mph 12.1s / Max Speed 115mph FUEL CONSUMPTION: (combined) 61.4mpg STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: Twin front and side airbags / ABS]]></description>
