2002 Honda Civic Type-S review from UK and Ireland
"A wolf in sheep's clothing!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
This engine just loves to be revved! It's like a puppy on a leash, wanting to be let free.
Very comfortable ride, much better than my Mondeo Zetec (although the Ford did have lower profile tyres). There is so much cabin room, and lots of cubby holes for bits and pieces.
The User Manual is huge! The wallet with other paperwork does not fit into the glovebox.
