A while ago we announced the launch of the new 1.6 litre diesel. As expected, it is now being added to the Honda Civic range. The new engine boasts 120-PS and achieves 78.5-mpg whilst emitting just 94g/km CO2 - thus qualifying it for free road tax and exemption from the London Congestion charge (subject to registration).

Our launch events at Ottershaw and Weybridge were a great success, with much better than expected attendance, a first order and many strong enquiries. Unsurprisingly there was also strong interest in the outgoing model; driven by the spectacular CR-V Offers currently available.
Following the launch, we have now removed the launch page and published a page all about the new CR-V - which you can read below:
RoSPA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) has a useful page on Winter driving.
Driving in the winter is very different than in other times of the year. Adverse weather and longer periods of darkness (especially after the clocks go back at the end of October) makes driving more hazardous. Sometimes conditions can be extreme, as we have found out over the last two winters in particular, with prolonged periods of heavy snow and floods.
This means that we need to adapt the way we drive.

An excellent weekend of racing for the Honda Yuasa Racing Team saw both Matt and Flash claim victory in all three races. Great driving from the men behind the wheel saw Matt grab his two first place trophies in Race 1 and 3, and Flash claim his in Race 2. It was the team's best set of British Touring Car Championship results in 2012 and puts them in pole position in all three standings tables.

Mixed results at Donington, when championship leader Matt was spun out of the race after the pack was backed up, resulting in contact from Andrew Jordan. Gordon 'Flash' moved up from fourth to second, to defend brilliantly against a hard charging Jason Plato. After some extremely close racing, Plato nudged an angry Flash off the track on the last corner to take a provisional second place, with Flash coming home a hard fought third.
