Honda Civic Hatchback 1.4i Fusion 3d (1999/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Basic car and 3dr not very practical, but it means its a very cheap used buy.
Costs
Very reliable, if serviced regularly, my car has full Honda SH, and as a result the only work done was a new exhaust. Also very economical even when driven hard my car returns 40mpg. Only downside is group 7/8 insurance.

Driving
Nice smooth drive, steering is light, gear change simple, the combined package means the car drives safely, which reassures and inspires confidence.
Performance
Nearly 90 bhp means plenty of power. It is a bit sluggish in 1st gear, but comes alive when revved, and brilliant on the motorway.

Living with it
Reliability
Bulletproof engine, will go on forever if serviced evry year.
Image
Its a 3dr with a spoiler, and I think its a cool car, almost Sporty. Its definately a mans car, not girly. Im gonna buy another, although next time it will be a type R.
Comfort
Very basic car with few toys - no electrics, ABS, AC, or sunroof, but it does have remote central locking and PAS. Also 3 dr means its unsuitable as a family car.
