1996 Honda Civic VTi review from UK and Ireland
"Seriously quick, super reliable, expensive insurance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Honda stereo broke. It had broken for the previous owner as well, I understand this is common.
No other problems so far.
General comments?
Understated looks, but very comfy and well built.
Vtec engine still amazes me, it is a normal car until the etec range is hit, then it is like a turbo! A wolf in sheep's clothing.
Such good fun taking out Corrados, Calibras, and Golf GTIs! They don't know what's just gone past them like a rocket! Cruises sweetly.
Hard to get good fuel economy as the temptation to put the foot down is so great!
