Honda Civic Hatchback 1.7i CTDi Imagine 5d (2003/03) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good spec, Well presented Honda UK car with 6,000 miles and everything you could want from a family car.
Costs
Car was a good price, 1st service £115 (9000miles), fuel economy is very poor and nowhere near official figures.

On the road
Driving
Handles better than a GTTDI Golf, but not as good as a Focus...! Pulls well once you get going.
Performance
1st gear very slow on the pick up, engine pulls well after that! Quite torquey and revs freely after 1st gear.

Living with it
Reliability
Few niggles, but nothing substantial.
Image
Still old man about town, but slowly changing. It's a Honda so its safe and reliable.
Comfort
Odd driving position if you're over 6ft. Smooth and quite well behaved over rough roads. Loads of space all over.

Security and Service
Security
Only one remote! Alarm and immobiliser, I hope never to find out how they work!
Service
Very Helpful so far... Excellent Dealer.
