1996 Honda Civic Coupe SR review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable, stylish motor, only lacking in true coupe performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor faults really:
Windscreen wiper stick needed a new switch.
Exhaust mounts under the rear box required refixing, although after 6000 miles, seems to be re-occurring.
General comments?
Excellent car, don't let my marks betray how I feel about this car. I've run it into the ground, and I can't complain about its reliability and running costs.
Performance is OK, slow on pick up but great when you get above 4,500 rpm.
Running it is cheaper than my last car, but what I love most about it is you don't see that many about, and it has lovely styling, despite the interior being duller than a vicar's party.
