2006 Honda Civic EX review from UK and Ireland
"A good performer, with good fuel economy and plenty of gadgets to play with"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rattle which seemed like it was in the cabin. Tracked it down to a loose bolt holding battery tray. Bolt tightened; now no rattle.
Rear seatbelt sensor shows seatbelt latched when not; going in to dealer to be sorted.
General comments?
The car which is a 1.8 140 Hp is quick enough - easily leaves others at the lights. Getting about 35 mpg which is reasonable for a 1.8.
Cabin is very futuristic - rev counter and digital speedometer all backlit in blue.
Satellite navigation is excellent which includes Traffic-master which is useful since it can re-route you around jams.
The blue tooth phone system is a real gem, although it isn't clever enough to tell you on the display who is calling.
Voice controls are useful, but a bit gimmicky - easier to press the buttons.
The magic seats like the Jazz are very useful and the wheel well (this car has no spare, but a liquid fill kit and compressor) is useful for storing shopping.
