European Honda Civic 3-Door Type S
Thursday, June 29th, 2006
The Civic 3-Door is now official, thanks to Honda UK. Sharply styled, the Civic 3-Door Type S gets 140 horsepower underhood courtesy of either a 1.8L i-VTEC four or a 2.2L diesel. Both engines come with a six-speed manual as standard equipment. Buyers of the gasoline-engined car will be able to select the i-SHIFT automated manual gearbox as an option.
The interior features Honda’s Dual Link dash, and alacantra seating, aluminum pedals, and a leather-wrapped wheel communicate the car’s sporty nature. Interior carrying capacity is identical to that of the Civic 5-door when the fold-flat rear seats are down.
All Type S models get 17″ wheels and Vehicle Stability Assist as well. The Type S GT adds a panoramic glass roof and a host of convenience options, including A/C and cruise control.
In March 2007, the UK will see the Civic Type S joined by the 200HP Civic Type R. The Civic Type S 3-door goes on sale in January 2007. It makes its global debut at July’s British International Motor Show.

The Honda Civic S looks good. And it would not be surprising if it also makes good sales.

Sorry – Scrap that comment. I thought you were talking about the standard Civics. The Type S should do well if the sales figures for the conventional Civic is anything to go by.
