Detailed analysis of the Honda Civic 3p Type S 2.2 i-CTDi Heritage · 140 CV (2008-2009)
General description
The eighth-generation Honda Civic was a true revolution, a spaceship that landed on our roads in 2007. This Type S version with the 2.2 i-CTDi diesel engine is proof that sportiness and efficiency don't have to be at odds. It's a car that, even today, turns heads and inspires deep admiration for its audacity and unmistakable character.
Driving experience
Driving this Civic is an experience full of character. The 2.2 i-CTDi engine pushes with forceful strength from very low revs thanks to its 340 Nm of torque, catapulting you from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.6 seconds. The suspension is firm, communicative, and along with precise steering, invites you to link curves with absolute confidence. The 6-speed manual gearbox is a delight for its mechanical and precise feel. It's a car that makes you feel connected to the road, a machine that combines the thrill of a sports car with the frugality of a modern diesel.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is simply timeless. The 3-door body accentuates its coupé profile, with sharp lines, a glass grille connecting the headlights, and a spectacular rear with an integrated spoiler and triangular exhaust tips. Inside, the show continues with the two-level 'Dual Link' dashboard, which makes you feel like you're in a fighter jet's cockpit. Every detail, from the start button to the digital instrumentation, was designed to be different and exciting.
Technology and features
For its time, the Civic was a technological marvel. The digital instrument cluster, divided into two zones, was avant-garde, offering information clearly and futuristically. But Honda's genius is also seen in practical solutions like the rear 'Magic Seats,' which allow for astonishing interior versatility in a car of its size. The engine, built entirely of aluminum, was a gem of diesel engineering, combining power, refinement, and very low consumption.
Competition
At the time, this diesel Civic Type S faced the European kings of the diesel sports compact segment. We're talking about rivals of the caliber of the Volkswagen Golf GTD, the SEAT León FR TDI, or the Alfa Romeo 147 JTDm. However, the Honda always played in its own league thanks to its radical design and a balance between comfort and sportiness that few could match.
Conclusion
The Honda Civic Type S 2.2 i-CTDi is much more than just a car. It's a statement of intent, a vehicle for those who value design, driving sensations, and intelligent engineering. It represents a golden era for Honda, where audacity and passion were embodied in a well-rounded product that continues to captivate. A future classic that masterfully combines emotion and reason.
