1984 Honda Civic Sport review from UK and Ireland
"A cut price, pocket size, giant killer!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In the two months I've had the car, I have been amazed at the fact that I've had nothing to do to it.
Even checking the oil has become frustrating, because it never needs topping up.
Despite some very fast and frantic driving the little wonder hasn't given me any complaints.
General comments?
Never have I been so impressed by a car. I was lucky enough to find a mint 24K mile example with full service history.
(Yes, the car is 1984. Yes, it has only done 24K!!!)
The engine literally purrs all the way through the rev range. It goes like a guided missle and sticks to the road like a limpet on steroids.
It always starts first flick of the key and will quite happily out perform numerous hot hatches, whilst still returning over 35mpg.
It cost virtually nothing to buy and run. It's fun to drive and is built better than any of my previous Volkwagens.
I simply cannot praise the car enough. It's a driver's car, which is cheap to run and reliable. A small miracle !!!
