1994 Honda Civic 1.5 LSI review from UK and Ireland
"Sleek and refined lazy mans hatch"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing to date, though the 1 elderly owner from Cleveleys serviced her local runaround regularly.
I paid £1200 for a very low mileage well maintained 94 civic in Kingfisher blue. The car is immaculate in every way and is a joy to drive if rather low. 4 days after purchase, I was offered £2000 for the car, but declined as I am not interested in the money. This is another example (Read my 1989 NISSAN Sunny Pulsar review) of a manufacturer going over the top to please.
The car is sweet and re-assuring to drive and still turns heads. At 13 years old it is better built than most Euro rivals, having the made in JAPAN sticker under the bonnet.
Although practicality isn't strong, the car is and again mileage is not a significant problem providing adequate servicing has taken place.
If the car seems right buy with confidence. Mine is not a v-tec and is a tad rattly on start up. The v-tec is popular and much more performance based. Problem is... finding a good un.
