Honda Civic Hatchback (2012 - 2017) 1.8 i-VTEC ES 5d (2012/12) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Old man, apparently.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Nothing, its just another family hatch.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No, honda quality is not what I was expecting. Rattling dashboards are something I'd seen the last of when I scrapped my Austin Maestro decades ago!

Golf/Focus

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

August 2015

Did you get a good deal and why?

I thought so, got the part ex I needed and the car was priced competitively.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Alleged Honda reliability and build quality.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly, helpful.

What's it like to drive?

OK, bit gutless unless you flog it to death. 6th gear is a waste of time as it has no pulling power.

What's it like to park?

For all people complaints about rear visibility I have found it ok to park, using mirrors and camera its not really an issue.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Stop start never works, various electrical faults, rattles galore from the dashboard.

What's most practical about your car?

Good size boot.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Reversing camera.
