Honda Civic Coupe 1.6i LS 2d (1996/P) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Not a budget option, but quality, space and drive makes this car worth every penny.
Costs
6,000-mile service intervals mean regular payouts, but nothing ever goes wrong so it still works out good value - only ever had to replace spark pugs, exhaust and tyres.

On the road
Driving
I love driving this car - effortless, comfortable, responsive and fun driving.
Performance
With no passengers and an empty boot, it goes like the clappers. You do notice the difference with a heavy load though.

Living with it
Reliability
Nothing ever goes wrong!
Image
Understated sophistication, but does look best in silver with a spoiler and alloys.
Comfort
Lots of interior space and good quality finish. Silky smooth ride in front seats, but you feel the bumps in the back.

Security and Service
Security
Won't get nicked with immobiliser, but locks won't stop most thieves getting in.
Service
Excellent service and not as pricey as I expected, because never any problems with car.
