1990 Honda Civic 1.6 16i review from UK and Ireland
"A very good reliable comfortable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing has failed on it and the car has only needed some very minor parts replacing for MOT (cost me less than £70 including the cost of test itself).
General comments?
Love it!! This car is great it is so many things in one car. It's a small workhorse, the seats collapse to leave a very good sized boot which has moved all my stuff between flats on a couple of occasions. It's a little sports car capable of leaving many things behind! It's a little city run around that will chop and change lanes in an instant, and I can always get through those little gaps that BMW's get stuck in!! Lastly its very reliable (touching some wood here) so far in the two years I have had it I have done nothing to it. Has a bit of rust which I will need to get sorted for next MOT, but mechanically its seems sweet, and the engine really purrs. Only bad point with mine is that the brakes slightly bind from time to time, which of course is a bummer as it slows me down!!
