Honda Civic Hatchback 1.8i VTi 5d (2000/W) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Not the cheapest brand new, but as a second-hand hot hatch, I don't think you can get better value.
Costs
Honda main dealer servicing is not the cheapest, but you only get what you pay for. This model is also a bit thirsty when you hit the 7000rpm mark!

On the road
Driving
Handling is second to none, however, the Bridgestone tyres fitted are a little unsteady in the wet.
Performance
As the advert says, bye bye GTI !
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far.
Image
Bit of a mixed one, as from the front it looks quite impressive with the lower spolier and from the back the boot spoiler and bigger exhaust set it off. Side skirts are standard black plastic though!
Comfort
Half-leather sports seats mean you don't move much when going round corners. The road noise may put a few people off, though.

Security and Service
Security
Standard security is non-existant and an optional alarm is therefore a must.
Service
The staff at Brindley Honda W-ton are always happy to help with any problems.
