Civic customers span the entire public spectrum of automotive drivers.They are high school graduates and college students just beginning their adult lives; they are families with young children; they are schoolteachers, soccer parents and professionals, environmentalists and performance enthusiasts; and they are Generation Y, baby boomers and retirees.And they live in Snow Belt states, Sunbelt states, in the Midwest and in Hawaii and Alaska.But regardless of their demographic and psychographic makeup, Honda Civic customers are tied together by one thing - they are young at heart.Because at the end of the day, beyond its myriad attributes (including safety, economy, durability, comfort and style), the Civic is fun to drive.
Inspired by MUGEN Euro’s high-performance Type R, the MUGEN 200 is fitted with unique body parts, wheels and badges to give it stand-out looks. As its name suggests, only 200 of the special Type R models will be made.
On top of the standard features of the Swindon-built Type R (which of course, include Honda’s 201PS, screaming i-VTEC engine) the MUGEN 200 will boast the following:
* Exclusive MUGEN front and rear bumpers with skirts * 19-inch alloy wheels in ‘Lightning’ design * MUGEN rear badge * MUGEN Limited Edition number plaque * Limited Slip Differential * Championship White exterior paint * Gloss black door mirrors
A range of tuning parts, to further enhance the chassis dynamics of the Type R, will also be available as dealer fit options.
The order bank for the MUGEN 200 opens in March, when prices will also be announced.
This limited edition Type R continues the association between Honda (UK) and MUGEN Euro – the Northampton-based subsidiary of Honda’s long standing tuning partner MUGEN. Last year, MUGEN used its 36 years of experience and engineering expertise gained at the forefront of global motorsport, to further develop the Type R, and create the Civic Type R MUGEN of which just 20 units will be made.

Original MUGEN tuning parts available From April, a network of Honda dealers will also offer an exclusive range of original MUGEN tuning parts for Type R owners to use to modify their own cars – both used and new. These parts will be available to buy from a number of selected dealers across the UK, and will offer a range of tuning and cosmetic parts, including sports suspension upgrades, lightweight wheels and interior trim. A list of the MUGEN partner dealerships will soon be available at www.honda.co.uk
BTCC team launched The limited edition car also celebrates the launch of Honda’s BTCC team for 2010, continuing its long-standing relationship with Team Dynamics. The team will compete in two Civics – which will feature a similar White and Black colour scheme to the MUGEN 200 cars. More details will be announced before the first race of the season, which is at Thruxton on 4 April.
Over the last few years, the world has witnessed an emergence of numerous car models. It won't be wrong to say that today the level of competition has been increased and the market has got bombarded with different car models. Every new model being introduced in the auto market contains new features.

However, the fuel efficiency has been one key feature that has always played a vital role in making the proper selection of a good car.
Today there are still many people who are looking for more economical and fuel efficient cars. In fact, if we carefully study the current scenario, the average person merely can't manage to pay for a vehicle that consumes to much fuel. Ultimately, the money spent in purchasing a car is more like an investment, and no body likes to make a wrong decision. That fact remains that along with the environment; there is one key factor that drives people to shop for cars that are not just environment friendly, but fuel efficient that in turn affects the budget as well. It doesn't matter whether you are purchasing a car for your daily commuting or excursions, you should have a car that suits your lifestyle and consumes less fuel. If you are planning to buy a fuel efficient car, here are some of the best models you can look for:
For years, Honda Civic has been one of the most popular compact cars admired in Australia. Without doubt, today its popularity can be attributed to its steady high level of finish and luxury, but its fuel efficiency element cannot be ignored. In fact, when it comes to squeezing every last inch of motion out of a drop of gasoline, there cannot be any comparison. The current model is the best and the most fuel-efficient. If that isn't enough, there is another model of Honda, a hybrid version of the Civic as well as the super-green Civic GX, which can run on natural gas and requires no gasoline at all.
Ford Focus- EPA city/highway mileage: 24/35 (manual), 24/33 (automatic)
In terms of fuel efficiency and performance there cannot be any comparison to the Ford Focus. Designed by Ford's European division, this car model fuel economy trails a bit compared to Japanese compacts, but it's cheap to buy, and pleasing to drive. It is easy on your pocketbook when it comes to keeping the gas tank filled. A 13.5 gallon fuel tank usually allows you to travel almost 325 miles non-stop.
There are very few cars in the world that can match the fuel efficiency of Mercedes-Benz E320 BLUETEC in terms of diesel powered cars. This model is the best answer who always thinks - a diesel car always consumes more fuel. In fact, if you get the chance to test-drive a Mercedes E320 BLUETEC then you must go for it. Its key feature of 3-liter V6 power plant offers an impressive power of a V8 with the fuel economy of a compact sedan.
Toyota Camry Hybrid- EPA city/highway mileage: 33/34
Toyota Camry Hybrid is one of the most affordable cars in the current scenario. In fact, it is one of the best models that feature rock-solid dependability, exceptional comfort along with better fuel economy at an economical price. Adding to this, it is one among those models that can offer an altogether conventional driving experience and features a bigger (2.4 litre) engine and conventional tires that makes it a fuel economical car.
