Honda Civic Saloon ESi 4d (1994/L) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Bought second hand from Honda Dealer so, like everything else bought from Honda, not cheap. Prices very low now, though.
Costs
Parts and servicing expensive if bought from Honda (see above). Find a non-franchised dealer and it doesn't cost more than most other cars. Fuel economy.

On the road
Driving
Good fun, especially when the VTEC kicks in. Roadholding better than the norm for type and class of car.
Performance
Once above 5000rpm, all the action takes place. Can get caught out if revs are below the 'magic' 5000rpm. Engines can take abuse and love to be revved which you'll enjoy doing.

Reliability
Very reliable. Watch out for oxygen sensor failing, which is quite common.
Image
Timeless looks can be vastly improved with alloys/lowering and bodykits.
Comfort
No complaints.
