I dearly miss my old civic hatchbacks and would have bought a civic hatch if they let the U.S have one. But the fit is not a civic hatch. REALLY happy with the rabbit.

The new diesel engine is expected to provide 60 mpg highway and significantly higher HP than the previous TDI with the new one at 140HP.

Replying to: nippononly (Aug 24, 2006 6:09 am) A civic hatch a slam dunk? Yeah honda gave us one and everyone (not me) hated it. It seems that when we get what we ask for we flame it anyway. and the only problem with the last civic hatch was that it had si on the front an back when it should have just said 'ex'. (or ex se or something to point out that the engine was different and not just another body style.) The current civic hatches in europe in my opinoin look amazing. But the styling is way too, how should i put this...un-american honda for it to be welcomed with open arms. Again i think it looks great, but i can imagine all the 'new civic hatch is horrendous' threads on this forum. I personally am on the 'other' side of the spectrum, i would have loved a four door rabbit but ended up with a two door. I think its a little silly to say that the rabbit is a dealbreaker in four door guise when compared to the fit, of course it costs more, its not really a b list car; its a compact that starts out life in the b list price wise. Thats all. Ever see how no one gripes about how the mazda 3 hatch is so much more expensive over the fit? Its because they play in different playgrounds. Any non b list 4 door hatch will be cheaper than a mazda 3 or a rabbit 4 door. Its just nice knowing that the rabbit is attainable for that little.
