Honda Civic Hatchback 1.6 VTi 3d (1997/R) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good value cars. Don't understand why you pay more than Parker's value them at?
Costs
Very good experience, never changed a single part. Solid engine, but my previous VTI's Vtec just stopped kicking in - very strange?

On the road
Driving
Good drive, but handling a bit poor and the braking performance very bad at high speed.
Performance
Definitely good. An underrated car. I've had many cars and must say VTi's the best city racer for a 1600cc.

Living with it
Reliability
Yeah definitely good. Just make sure you service the car every 6000 miles.
Image
All good. Every model V-Tec has its own style.
Comfort
Ok. Better than other cars like Subaru - they have cheap interior material.

Security and Service
Security
I think Honda never thought about security. Hot cars and very easy to steal!
Service
Every 6000 miles for top engine condition.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Good engines. Amazing that you can take the car around 7000 revs all day long.
Other
If you're going to buy one, I would advise definitely upgrade brakes, an induction kit, full sports exhaust with de-cat, adjustable suspension and alarm it! Then you have a lethal VTi!
Ownership

Yes
