1998 Honda Civic Illusion review from UK and Ireland
"Very impressed, will buy a Honda again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just replaced the rear suspension due to perishing, radiator had a small leak and exhaust starting to corrode.
Nothing has 'gone wrong' though, just normal wear and tear.
Local Honda dealership have been extremely helpful and informative, very impressed.
General comments?
Very impressed with the car, the engine is quiet when stationary and when you get it past 3500 rpm it feels like it goes quicker than it should and sounds a lot more powerful than it is.
A lot of grey plastic and the seat patterns aren't very interesting, but overall the dash and centre console is conveniently placed.
Boot space is reasonably sized for a 3 door hatchback and with the back seats down there's plenty of space.
Personally, I think at the right angle the car is very good looking considering it's almost 10 years old.
