I would imagine it's due its mid life cycle facelift, yes.

If the Honda past is anything to go by expect some mild exterior tweeks and quite a few little things under the skin to fix minor technical issues.

Considering the poor reliability record of the current Civic I would imagine they have quite a lot to be on with.

The local Honda dealer tried to convince me to trade-in my 2005 2.0litre 160bhp 5-door Civic Tyre-S for the latest Type-S version, which he claimed was the natural upgrade. I don't think so - only a 3-door, 140bhp 1.8 . Having seen that the reliability record for the latest model Civic is well below that of the previous model I'm glad that I resisted.

On the 5-door version of the latest Civic the rear door is far too small. The top edge is very short and I have seen people getting in hit their heads on a number of occassions. My car seems a more practical (if less stylish) shape.
