Honda Civic Coupe 1996-
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A very good buy, they hold their value very well if looked after.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Parts and services are expensive, but worth it for the driving experience.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Seats are uncomfortable (no side support), good visibility and good round corners once lowered, and bigger wheels have been fitted.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very quick after 4000rpm, 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear are lots of fun. Red lines at 7000rpm so engine loves to be thrashed. I have comfortably kept pace with 2.0 Celica GT and have out ran much more powerful cars than the coupe.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very reliable, although if anything does go wrong, take a deep breathe because its going to hurt your wallet.

    Image

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I've put 17" alloy wheels, accord type R spoiler and lowered it and it looks like a beast, but standard they look like a granddad mobile.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    A good seating position and pedals are well spaced out. Again seats are terrible.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    No alarm, just a standard immobiliser.
