1993 Honda Civic VTi 1.5 SOHC VTec

Summary:

Zippy little hatch and economical

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Zippy little car and extremely economical, handles very well with good tyres. Brakes are a little bit on the weak side, but then it doesn't have the 4 wheel disks like the higher specced model.

Sound proofing isn't as good as some other hatches and does show in a bit of tyre noise on the open road.

It is comfortable on a long journey despite it's somewhat plastic interior.

The 1500 SOHC Vtec is a little screamer and puts up quite well with GT models (has been used in many motorkhanas). The small engine does get a bit bogged down however when there are 4 people in the car.

Wouldn't hesitate in buying another, although I would probably go for a higher spec with the leather seats and better brakes.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
