The 2013 Civic 1.6 I-DTEC (mine is 2014) HAS indeed a serviceable fuel filter. It's not visible, at least from above the engine bay. It can be reached under the car, but it's not an easy task.
There you were, about to choose the 2.2 i-DTEC that, so far, has been the only diesel in the range. But now, in search of reduced emissions and fuel savings, Honda has added a 1.6-litre diesel

I swapped from a 2000W 1.0 Yaris over to a 2004/04 1.6 Civic back in March. Since then I've been quite disappointed with the fuel consumption, getting around 35-36 on average for my normal travelling and no better than 38 even on a long run.
