1994 Honda Civic LSI Coupe review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really, just the general service and timing belts changed - not that it was going, but changed just for my own peace of mind overall cheap and very reliable.
General comments?
This car is very cheap, and it gives you performance, reliability and style for a great price.
I have owned a BMW coupe, and if you compare a BMW 1.6 3 series coupe to 1.5 Civic Coupe, the BMW has the style and luxury, but the Civic is where I would be. That's because I am a young man, and I have raced a 318is and left it to die, because the Honda has rapid acceleration. It's also stylish for the money, and it has a lot of potential for aftermarket products fitments.
So I would recommend this car to anyone who would like a car for everyday use, in the sense of reliability and style, and also to anyone who wants to modify it.
As for the interior, you can fit Prelude bucket seats in it, and maybe perhaps an h22a engine.
The hatchbacks are OK, but if you have a vision of keeping it a Honda, like fitting various Prelude parts in like the engine, then you would see that the Civic Coupe is what the Prelude should have been; a reliable stylish sports car from Honda.
In the future I would go out of my way to purchase a Honda NSX, simply because Hondas are great cars to drive. A great piece of engineering
