Buy anything else this age and you'll spend £££ keeping it going.

Servicing costs are reasonable, just buy your spare parts from eBay.

Living with it
Reliability
We've had the car since new (1994), since then all it's required is 2 batteries, 2 sets of front brake pads (1 rear), a radiator and a Lambda sensor. Not bad for 100,000 miles, and it'll feels like it is good for 100,000 more!
Image
Lower than most, also looks surprisingly sporty when you ditch the standard wheels and stick some decent alloys (new Civic) on!
Comfort
Seats lack some side support but good on long journeys.

Security and Service
Security
Its got door locks and a factory immobiliser, what more would you want on a car like this?
Service
Showroom staff can be a bunch of muppets, workshop staff are a bunch of Uni grads.
