Civic Tourer will handle everything you throw at it


Some things never change, and plenty of people like it that way. Thequestion iswhetheryou can apply that reasoningto the newHondaCivic Tourer.


The Civic has a duality to its


" reputation that no other car can quite match. On one hand, you have the boy racer’s fa­ vourite, with screaming VTEC petrol engines and pin-sharp chassisdynamics.Ontheother hand, you have the safe, anon­ ymous and imperiously reli­ able hatchback popular with the elderly. But this new Civic Tour­


er aims to end both stigmas once and for all by putting young families directly in its sights. So I shall do my best to look

The Tourer’s long, sleek profile is fantastic, al­ though the surface detailing is upset slightly by thebodywork- flushglassaroundthebootar- eathatsitsincongruouslynext to thedoorwindows,naturally slightly recessed and edged by visible rubber seals. ■ Will the family man really


worry aboutthatthough?’Iask myself. Maybe not. He’lldefinitelyworryabout boot space though, so I lift the


; impressively well-assisted tail­ gate - an easy job for one hand -andpeerintospace. Literally. There’s 624 litres of it, which is class leading and 19 litres ahead of the Golf estate. Some U7litres of that space is under the main boot floor in


a separate, covered compart­ ment. It’s an ingenious feature that saves cases, coats andbags from pinging about inside the boot. The fuel tank has been


shifted forward too, to un­ derneath the front seats, to al­ low for maximum boot space. There are also plenty of cubby­ holes and storage solutions in the cabin, including a big cen­ tral storage binthatdoublesas the location for the multiple media input ports and one of the two 12-volt power sockets thatshouldletthekids charge a compatible device on the move.
