1996 Honda Civic LS review from UK and Ireland
"This is an excellent car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch is horrible and needs replacing.
General comments?
This is a beautiful car.
Drive it with the Econo light on and you can easily get good mileage, hit the VTEC and the car roars into life.
Interior is very 'old man'.
Handling is good but taking corners too fast can slide the back out.
Very fast for a 1.5(115bhp).
I'm only 18 and insurance was the same as a 1.4 Fiesta, a bargain in my opinion.
