Honda Civic Coupe 1994-
  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Paid £2600 for 54,000 mile example.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    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

    4 out of 5 4.0

    You notice how long the car is when you are parking. Nice to drive, but quite a bit of bodyroll when corning hard.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Quite nippy. It picks up a lot when you hit 4000rpm.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    In standard form, the Civic looks pretty boring. They do look really nice when modified (Big alloys, lowered and bodykit).

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Comfortable, but basic Coupe model doesn't have any electics or a sunroof.

    1 out of 5 1.0
