1990 Honda Civic GL from UK and Ireland - Comments

None, excellent reliability.

Overall an excellent car. Very reliable, I've never had any serious problems with it although I do respect it and service it regularly.

Driving wise is handles very well, having power steering is a definite benefit.

The seats are very low in the car so you feel closer to the road, this is comfortable while allowing a good feel for the car.

The performance is fairly good, although don't expect much pull on the motorway. I tend to like fast cars, so perhaps I'm being biased, but while the 0-60 of the car is respectful the top end seems minimal. Although only a 1.4, the twin carb 16 valve set up makes it as fast as a 1.8 8v Golf Gti, while matching it's reliability.

Fuel economy is fairly good, around 150 miles to a tank. Insurance is actually fairly high considering its performance, but it's a fairly old car with no alarm or immobilizer.

Although it's generally reliable, hope that nothing goes wrong as Honda parts are a rip-off.

Generally, you will not be disappointed, for reliability and low-cost running it's a bargain.

R you sure you get 150miles to a tank? I think you mean 350 to a tank.
