Honda Civic Concerto Hatchback
  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Unfortunately 2nd hand values collapsed just as I tried to move it on.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Rover/Honda link made parts cost bearable most times.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Went well when revved. Handled well on the road.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Kept up with modern traffic, no slouch, but revs were the key.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Coil and ecu went within 12 months £400+ , the rear brakes would've been £600+ if the garage hadn't managed to coax another years use out of them.

    As Honda's go, this was the worst, squeaks, rattles, bits dropping off. Nothing to do with it being assembled by rover workers was it?

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    None as standard. But not in thieves minds as a choice.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very good.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    Gem of a unit, slightly lacking low down torque.

    Other

    Couple of expensive major electrical component failures, squeaks and rattles, and rear disc adjuster problems, very un-Honda like.
