It is little wonder hot hatches are so popular in the UK; fast, practical and very stylish, they offer performance motoring for everyman money. That is until you look at insurance and fuel economy, both of which prove that everything has its downsides. But what are the options if you want a hot hatch without these wallet-ruining side effects? The answer lies not in doing more overtime at work, and instead in switching to diesel. Because today’s modern diesel engines are refined, quick and very frugal – and Honda’s 2.2-CDTi unit is one of the best. What we want to know is does it make a viable alternative to the Civic Type-R when dressed in sporting Type-S guise.
