1990 Honda Civic i16 review from UK and Ireland
"Bargain B Road rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers side window jammed open twice.
Passenger side window jammed open once.
Radiator blew and it overheated on and off for months before that.
General comments?
Love the car for it's acceleration and handling, this is the fastest car I've had yet. I Smile every time it passes 4,000rpm as it flies. It does have and interesting habit of torque steering. It slides all over the shop in the wet, but this is the car I've learnt to slide in and it is a hoot. I think the handling could be cleaned up with something other than the budget tires that are on it now. Apart from the reliability I can't fault it apart from I'm used to the power now and am shopping for a Turbo kit...
