Incoming: Honda Civic
Honda have had a funny few years. After we got over the initial futurism of the last Civic we weren’t massively blown away. Then we were then told that the Type R was dead and were left wondering if Honda will ever produce a new car that lives up to their massive international following. Yes, ...
Driven: Honda Civic Type-R Mugen
As a youngster, did you ever have one of those remote-controlled cars that only travelled in two directions: either forwards or left-and-reverse together? Annoying wasn’t it? For those that didn’t, this meant that every time you wanted to turn right to avoid the table/dog/supplementary-model-car-to-simulate-traffic, you had to do a series of back and forth shuffles ...
Honda CR-Z: The schizophrenic sporty hybrid
The Honda CR-Z is a small car, but it could make quite a big impact on the way people buy cars. It is a car which Honda describes as a “sporty hybrid coupe” but it could be more than that. It could be a trend-setter and a catalyst for breaking down stereotypes. Being powered by ...
Jason Barlow’s well shot CR-Z review

Honda the multi-trick pony
If you thought Honda were a one trick pony you are wrong, and they want you to know you are wrong. In this new advertising campaign - with the man with one of the coolest voices in the world - they show how good they really are.
Honda Insight: A hybrid sucker punch to Prius
Could the Honda Insight be the sucker punch of hybrid cars? After a four-day test drive, I’m ready to give it pretty good odds. It was just a few years ago that hybrids — cars powered by both electricity and petrol — were perceived mostly as the preferred mode of transportation for smug LA celebs and ...
A car from a land far, far away
If you’re a fan of clean technology and have a fascination with Star Wars films, Honda may have made a car for you. This week at the LA Auto Show, Honda unveiled the Honda FC Sport and Motorfood can’t help but notice a resemblance to Star Wars’ own white product - the Stormtroppers. The FC ...
