1989 Honda Civic GL review from UK and Ireland
"Amazing wolf in a sheep's clothing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bearings and shafts are knackered but I still blow away any Pugs, Ford, Vauxhalls, Citroens.
General comments?
This is my second Civic 1.4 GL. This one I picked up cheap; it is worth every penny.
I can challenge any Pugs, Fords, Citroens and Vauxhalls; I will blow them away off the mark.
I have clocked my Civic to the top speed. I mean this car wasn't even meant for performance like the VTis, but damn these Japanese know how to make a good car, unlike the french and the brits.
A Civic 1.4 GL is the ideal 1st car, but it's a groupe12 insurance; that's the only down point. Otherwise, what a car.
