1996 Honda Civic VTi review from UK and Ireland
"Fast, fun, economical and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The centre box on the exhaust system was blown at 51,000 miles and Honda stereo knackered at 53,000 miles.
General comments?
For a 1.6, this car has fantastic performance and very good handling as well. Thoroughly good fun to drive, but I feel the rear view vision is not very good though. A real scorcher with very good economy.
