This car is so reliable.
I haven't had any major problems.
Services are expensive, but well carried out by skilled workers.
This car is a japanese import.
The cabin is not up to other type r's as it has plain seats and looks like a normal civic, that's until it gets driven.
When I speak to most people and say what car I have they always ask what engine it has.
When I tell them what the engine is they say that it can't be that fast.
In standard form it will do 0-60 in under 6 seconds, and on many occasions in the flown past cossies and porsches.
Having quite a lot of money from being a sucessful lawyer, and also being a petrol head, I decided that this is not enough, and looked to modifying the whole engine.
It now has a Spoon engine, still 1.6 which cost a cool £7000, yes it is worth it because it revs to 16000 rpm, yes motorbike revs.
The car is untouchable and I have yet to lose a race.
I pulled two car lenghts on a standing start in first gear against a modded cossie.
Truly awesome, ferrari beater, for about 20 grand.
16000 rpm??? LMFAO!!! Yeh Right. If I remember correctly the spoon engine went up 2 11000 rpm.
For one, I'm pretty sure you can't get an ek9 on a 96 reg, and why would a lawyer buy an old Civic, why not get a dc5 Integra or a JDM fd2 Civic, as these would surely still only be about a week's wages for such a successful lawyer!
16000 rpm - OK??
I believe it would go to 16000 RPM...ONCE! Honestly, some people think they are F1 engines!

Erk...16k RPM?
Yeah, all the successful lawyers I see in the City drive 12 year old Honda Civics!
The reviewer is either not a lawyer, or is definitely not successful. Lawyers don't drive old bangers.
