Honda Civic Hatchback 1.4i 3d (1997/P) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Holds its value well despite being an older model.
Costs
Some parts can be expensive due to it being a 'Japanese' Civic model (and not based on the Rover like it's 5dr brother).
-
On the road
Driving
A fun car to drive. Engine is throaty and responsive despite only being 1.4i.
Performance
Pulls nicely in city traffic, averages 40mpg, motorway driving is fun.
-
Living with it
Reliability
3 years, 35k, not one fault. Can't fault Hondas.
Image
Not the best design, but unique these days on the road. Some don't like the 'goggle' eyed headlights.
Comfort
Seats are comfortable, driver's position is great for long or short journeys.

Security and Service
Security
Average - immobiliser as standard, no alarm.
Service
Cannot fault my dealings with Honda when I've needed to, prompt, courteous and everything on time - not always the cheapest, mind.
