Honda Civic Coupe 1.6i 2d (SR) (1996/N) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Expensive to buy, but holds value well, unless you do a lot of miles.
Costs
Cheap to run and never breaks down!

On the road
Driving
Fine, as long as you don't get seasick! Bad handling, but comfortable position. Tyre noise is excessive at speed.
Performance
Only picks up above 4500rpm, but you get an edge because, whilst others are changing gear, the VTEC has another 2000rpm to go!

Living with it
Reliability
Fantastic, as you'd expect from a Honda.
Image
Still seen as an old man's car.
Comfort
All the bells and whistles. Nothing much to mention.

Security and Service
Security
Standard immobiliser is good. Not exactly a theif's choice, anyway.
