Amoronno is right imo.
The 1.8 civic may not be as frugal as promised, but cars seldom are.
My civic beats my two last cars clearly - Citroen 1.8 ZX and 1.6 BX. After a year the overall consumption is 7.1 l/100km (40 MPG), while my ZX has 7.6 l/100km (37 MPG) and my late BX had 8.0l/100km (35 MPG).
And the civic is slightly heavier and performs way better.

The problems TC (and others with bad karma

) experienced are horrendous however, and it puzzles me that the car manufacturers let such issues pass. It's very bad press - spread widely.
