Honda Civic Hatchback 1.8 VTi-S 5d (1999/T) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Great value as a used car, not much else as good for price or age.
Costs
Very good fuel economy, Honda parts are a complete rip-off, I avoid main dealers at all costs!

On the road
Driving
Good handling after investing in Koni adjustables and H&R springs, far too soft as standard.
Performance
Good for what it is, but the VTEC cut-in point is to high and the gearing a touch to long. I have lowered the VTEC point on mine with a Unichip and it makes a vast difference to performance and driveability.
