2005 Honda Civic vti-s review from UK and Ireland

Rear hub makes noise is reverse- may be bearing a common prob on vti-s civic.

Nothing else so far!

I am really into my cars and know very well what honda cars are about. Iv avoided

buying a honda so far becuase of their street racer boy look,but i opted to get a civic vtis as its a bit rarer and more family orientated but dont let that fool you,the 1.8 engine is similar to the one found in Honda's race ready integra! Just doesnt rev as high and with the equipped lsd it handles like a go kart! If you look underneath the car you will find the stiff braces and double wishbone suspension the handling really is thrilling,a bit of understeer if you really hit the limits but nothing to worry about its fantastically responsive. The vtec engine is incredible,their is plenty of power down low and you never have to upshift even with the car full.But push it and the vtec kicks in with a glorious roar and suddenly the car rockets forward albeit needs winding to the redline but thats part of the fun! Im well impressed with the vti-s it looks great drives fantastic and with nice leather seats is quite confortable. Economy is also amazing
