1994 Honda Civic DX review from UK and Ireland
"A pocket rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake lights failed 83,000 miles.
Replacement of back box exhaust 83,000 miles.
General comments?
The Honda civic DX is a superb car for its class.
The 1.3 16v 75bhp engine is far from sluggish.
0-60mph in under 11 seconds.
Can reach over 110 mph.
The handling is superb, its very light and responsive, it's a car that you drive not a car that drives you.
Inside the interior of the car is nice, with very comfortable front seats, though it may be small it has far more room in the back than the 106 did.
However the boot space is very tight and small, this car isn't really ideal for family's with kids, but I'm 18 so this didn't bother me.
Insurance for this car is ideal to (group 4) so it's a car most people can afford. Its fairly fuel efficiency.
Expensive parts, but rarely need replacing due to Honda's high reliability.
For a 1.3 engine it's a rocket. will take nearly any 1.6i car acceleration wise leaves cars in the dust.
