Mmmmm,
Yes, my ES i-shift was registered late September, 2007. It is in band D and I paid the going rate - £140.00 for twelve months. I see the Honda Civic Brochure puts the car in Band C with Co2 emissions of 149 (printed prior to upgrade). Band D covers 151-165 Co2 emissions. We have had this mentioned before, but it will be interesting to see if and how DVLA become aware of the upgraded i-shifts. The Honda Civic brochure shows you should already be in Band D with your EX. (153 Co2 emissions). My understanding is that the upgrade increases Co2 insignificantly but in the case of an ES i-shift just enough to place it in the higher banding. Schucks! If you are in Band C good luck to you!
