Do you own a car over fifteen years old? If you do you may well be entitled to cover it under what is known in the industry as a classic car insurance policy. In the past there were many more restrictions on cover under this type of policy and specialist motor insurance brokers and insurance companies were very particular about the type, age make and models of the cars they wished to cover on their books.
Honda recently announced that it will be ending sales of the Civic Type R due to forthcoming Euro V emissions regulations. The Japanese automaker has just released the updated 2011 Civic for the UK, which takes some design cues from the outgoing Type R model to keep fans satisfied.
The 2011 UK Civic gets a new front grille, 16-in alloy wheels, color-coded sideskirts and more. The 2011 Honda Civic will be available with a 1.4L engine in SE and Si trim as well as a 1.8L unit in the ES trim level.
On the inside the SE and ES trim gets half fabric and luxurious Alcantara, while Si is now half leather and Alcantara with heated front seats
Integrated Motor Assist combines a 1.3-litre i-VTEC petrol engine with a lightweight, high-output electric motor that assists the engine during acceleration and at higher speeds. Then, when you're braking, decelerating or going downhill, it recharges its own batteries.
When you bring the Civic Hybrid to a complete stop, its ingenious AUTO STOP feature automatically turns off the petrol engine to minimise fuel consumption and emissions. The car sits silently as you wait in traffic or at stop lights. Then, as soon as you release the brake, the engine restarts quietly, quickly and automatically.
* Under certain conditions the engine will remain operational when the car is stationary.
A rear spoiler improves aerodynamics and helps fine tune performance, while adding to the Civic Hybrid's stand-out design.
Body-side moulding features a stylish chrome strip. Not only does it accentuate the Civic Hybrid's clean lines, it protects the doors from minor nicks and scrapes.
The Civic Hybrid features manual tilt and telescope steering wheel adjustment and also has audio controls on the left side of the steering wheel for volume and channel selection. Cruise control buttons are located on the right side of the steering wheel.
