Honda Civic Tourer car review – 'This is the car you would drive if you were one of only four taxi drivers in a seaside town’

I can imagine the life for which this would be the best possible car

I never fell for the Honda Civic Tourer and I felt bad about that, like I'd fostered a dog and could see how hard it was trying but in the end it was still a spaniel and the love never came. This is the car you would drive if you were one of only four taxi drivers in a seaside town; it doesn't look fancy and that's fine, because if people want glitz, they can damn well move to Canterbury.

The only people it will overtake on dual carriageways are the three other taxis, but that's fine, too; if people want to race, they can buy their own car. Passengers get stuff usually reserved for the driver, though I have to say I had several passengers and nobody thanked me for the lumbar support.
