Hi, as a n00b to both driving and Honda, I'm curious as to whether it's possible to bring in a 5 door Civic hatch from the UK, or a Honda Domani from Japan. (they're basically the same car) Knowing an Australian-based owner of one of these, I know it is possible, but how much would it be?

I have no clue on where to look at importing from Europe, or on how to import rarer cars from Japan. How much more would it cost than a sedan or 3 door?

I'm interested in one of these because a) I need a 5 door, in case I bring family/friends/both along, b) I have dogs, so I need space for them in the rear, and c) I'm looking for something unique.
Sorry if this was a lot to read.
Thanks for your help

If you are referring to the latest UKDM Civic, because Honda sells the Type R here I'm not so sure if you can being in the 5-door version since they are so similar.

This is the model I'm looking for (http://research.cars.uk.msn.com/autos/vip/gallery.aspx?year=1998&make=Honda&model=Civic&ts=3217591998). It was sold around the EK period.
