Good and economical
Nothings wrong with this car... perfect, but the seat feels made from scraps.
Civic is very well known, and it has a light weight.
The engine 1.3 liter is too small, but with a manual transmission it's fine, and comfortable for inner city travel.
Honda manual clutch is very soft.

Reliable economical, fun and fast car
Central locking motor packed up.
Central locking manual switches broke twice.
Excellent fun, and economical car to drive (3 door Hatch).
Brilliant suspension (double wishbones) front and rear for cornering and 85kw of power from a non V-tec 1600cc which really gets up and goes.

Value for money for beginners and intermediate class
Nothing much, the only thing I founnd with this Honda, it's built just right and it cannot handle hard driving condition.
I put 17" wheels, lowered and changed the suspension. I took the car for a serious fast ride. Few months after that it started to produce noise around the rear area of the car.
Other thing that the parts are quite expensive, for comparison to the local made car, just the fuel filter cost me more than 60 dollars where a Holden one cost less than 30 dollars.
I guess it's the way OZ Government protects the local car market by charging more tax for imported parts.
I would say, Honda Civic is really a cool small car for beginners to intermediate level only.
On the other hand, this particular model is really good on fuel consumption. On average, I use 35 litres for 420-440 KM.
Good re-sale value, good looking car and built for comfort not for toughness.
