Honda Civic Concerto Hatchback
  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Pretty good equipment for an early '90s car and it holds its value pretty well.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Parts are expensive and petrol consumption can be high with a heavy right foot.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    It drives well. It is a bit wallowy, but I like that. Pull away too quick and the front wheels are all over the place. Other than that, nice to drive.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    1.6 16v is very quick. Good acceleration (don't try in the wet though!) and cruises nicely at high speed.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Bombproof. Just keeps on going. ABS is the only problem.

    Looking dated, but not too bad for its age.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Headroom not to good and legroom is ok, but modern cars are a lot more spacious behind the wheel. Nicely equipped, though.
