1984 Honda Civic Sport from UK and Ireland - Comments

In the two months I've had the car, I have been amazed at the fact that I've had nothing to do to it.

Even checking the oil has become frustrating, because it never needs topping up.

Despite some very fast and frantic driving the little wonder hasn't given me any complaints.

Never have I been so impressed by a car. I was lucky enough to find a mint 24K mile example with full service history.

(Yes, the car is 1984. Yes, it has only done 24K!!!)

The engine literally purrs all the way through the rev range. It goes like a guided missle and sticks to the road like a limpet on steroids.

It always starts first flick of the key and will quite happily out perform numerous hot hatches, whilst still returning over 35mpg.

It cost virtually nothing to buy and run. It's fun to drive and is built better than any of my previous Volkwagens.

I simply cannot praise the car enough. It's a driver's car, which is cheap to run and reliable. A small miracle !!!

I have a 1984 civic which I bought for $80 (real rough) and used it as a paddock racer. Funny thing is the thing just won't die. My mate and I have constantly thrashed it for 8 months round a field and with 286000 km on the clock its a wonder it just won't blow up. All up its an excellent car and much more reliable than a corolla.

Long live all civics.

I have a 1984 Honda Civic. It runs like a hero.. It is very reliable.. My car has 130K, but still running fine.

I have a 84 and a 86 Honda civic hatchback, and I will agree that the both of them are great cars. Even thought the 84 was pulled off the road, I used it to fix up the 86 and its great for gas and speed. High kilometers 334k, but still very quiet car.

I live in the states and I just bought a '84 Civic 1500S with 76,000mi on it. It is the best car I have ever had. Light, fast and cheap! What more could you want. The back seat reclines, and folds down; to swallow up more cargo than you could imagine.
