"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.

I've had the car almost two years now and its covered 122000 miles. My Civic hasn't had an easy life for its last 25000 miles. Its seen track days and lots of hard use, but its still going strong, the engine runs like it did when I bought the car. I've had to replace brake discs and replace the gearbox as the final drive failed, also I've replaced the suspension bushes, but that's more to do with the roads where I live. The car has been great and still runs like new.

I sold the car to a friend and it is now coming up to 140k miles. Its still running very well and hasn't needed any repairs at all, the engine is still very strong and everything is as it should be.
