1996 Honda Civic Coupe lsi review from UK and Ireland
"A reliable weapon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust replaced from the cat back. Other than that nothing :)
General comments?
I can't believe the reliability of these machines. All I have done is maintained it as and when required e.g. (Oil/Filter changes every 6k) and tyres due to the motorway miles I do in her. Its one of the best cars I have owned to date.
I haven't taken it to the main dealer so I can't comment on their service.
Performance wise its not going to blow your skirt off, but once you are up in the rev range then it begins to move a little quicker. It holds the road well giving you confidence on the twisty demanding bits you encounter.
Its comfortable for my 60 mile round trip to work and is happy to start every time without fail.
P.s. I have never seen one of these on the side of the road broken down.
