Honda Civic Hatchback 1.6i VTEC 3d (1990/H) Owner Review

Economy
Value
The VT Civic hold their money better than the other varients of this shape, but are worth every penny more to have the very reliable Vtec lump
Costs
My VT does around 220 miles on a tank £20 ish, parts are very easy to get and not half as expensive as people make out

On the road
Driving
The driving position is perfect with good all round visability and great interior which has electric everything and bucket style seats standard
Performance
150 BHP in a light shell, handling is spot on, brakes could be a little better, but do the job

Living with it
Reliability
I've done nearly 18k in this car and it has started every time i turn the key, with no burning oil, A+ reliability
Image
Most people dont like the "squarish" image of the Civic, but i love it, hence me having three so far and probably many more
Comfort
With electric everything (bar entral locking) it is very comfortable, i have been driving constant for nearly 4 hours before and have had no back ache ,
