1997 Honda Civic VTi review from UK and Ireland
"A Masterpiece From Honda!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch release bearing has decided to go, but it as expected and I can't complain really. Nothing else has given any problems.
General comments?
The Civic VTi 3 door hatchback has Hondas great 1.6ltr B16a2 VTec engine, which is 160bhp standard!! very fast and capable of keeping up with much larger sports cars etc. the VTec kicks in arounr the 5,500rpm mark and redlines at 8,500rpm... with a few mods this cars bhp can be taken well over the 200bhp mark.
Road handling and cornering is superb with these cars, roll bars all round as standard also.
The interior may not be the most comfortable to some, but the sports seats hold you in nice and tight, which is a must in this car :o)
Extras include electric everything, twin airbags, factory tinted windows, high level brake light, adjustable headlight beams, ABS, central locking etc.
If your considering a VTi trust me when I say you will love it and enjoy it!!
