Honda Civic Coupe 1.5 2d (1994/M) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Paid £2600 for 54,000 mile example.
Costs
Economy not as good as I hoped for a 1.5 (not VTEC). It does a little better than the Mk2 Golf GTi I had before it. The insurance is higher than I expected too.

On the road
Driving
You notice how long the car is when you are parking. Nice to drive, but quite a bit of bodyroll when corning hard.
Performance
Quite nippy. It picks up a lot when you hit 4000rpm.

Living with it
Reliability
Good.
Image
In standard form, the Civic looks pretty boring. They do look really nice when modified (Big alloys, lowered and bodykit).
Comfort
Comfortable, but basic Coupe model doesn't have any electics or a sunroof.

Security and Service
Security
Not good as standard. Got a Cat 1 alarm to be on the safe side.
Service
Not had any dealings with Honda so far.
