Advantages: Comfortable seating, dashboard console, handling, decent acceleration, great gas mileage, smooth ride, mp3, practical, fun Disadvantages: Full acceleration response occasionally bit slow, rear window blind spot, sometimes selects gears too much
...the idea of getting a Honda civic at first due to my preconception of their looks, I was surprised when I took a look at one of the newer ones because it didn't look anything like what I imagined.
After I visited the dealership, I also realized that the interior console had much in common with the digital dash on the s2000 that I found to be quite cool. Some people don't like it, which is understandable if one has driven a lot of similar cars with ... ...the s2000 however, the RPM gauge is analogue, though the fuel gauge, engine temperature gauge, and speedometer are all digital. It's well placed in order to not block ones' view, and if one is shorter he or she can conveniently raise the seats which are pretty flexible. It's also more useful for avoiding speeding tickets because it's more obvious (but also much cooler when you do decide to speed).
The interior is decent looking, comfortable, and ...

Advantages: Large boot, handles well Disadvantages: Expensive insurance, expensive running costs, expensive parts and servicing and awful fuel economy
...the limited edition "Black Magic" Honda Civic DX Coupes -made in America, although it is sold as an official UK car and is UK spec right hand drive. Mine is a 1.5 litre (1493cc) 4-speed auto model with the standard fuel injected SOHC (non-VTEC) D15B7 engine and produces 102bhp.
Good bits first:
The car certainly looks the part, long and sleek, with a nice black paint scheme with a hint of gold when the sun hits it and good looking six spoke Honda ... ...reliability goes I can't fault Honda engineering. My car is 10 years old and all that has been really changed is the timing belt, the CV joints, an exhaust tailpipe and a battery. Good thing as Honda parts really cost.
Now the bad bits:
Group 14 insurance seems incredibly high considering this car's abilities. An MR2 sports car is only group 15 so why is this slow, family coupe group 14? Seems ludicrous.
Fuel economy is very lacklustre - 35mpg ...

Advantages: Sporty look, Mod cons, Powerful engine, controlled drive & Honda reliability Disadvantages: Parts can be pricey
I bought my 1999 honda civic coupe vti (aso known as an EM1) in december of 2004. The car comes with Honda's ultra reliable B16A2 engine which turns out 160 bhp. It was the first production car to produce 100 bhp per lite. The car is elegant and beautifully designed and best of all every thing works... all the time! Releiability and Honda go hand in hand.
In the well designed cabin you have air con, adjustable seats, twin airbags and a very well ... ...found honda service departments very good too, if sometimes a bit pricey! Fule consumption is around the 35 mpg mark and i believe the car is insurance group 16.
This is a great car, a bit different from the usual fords and vauxhalls and i would reccomment it to anyone. ...

Advantages: Quick, Sporty, Handles Well, Looks Good, Spacious, Fun to Drive Disadvantages: No true disadvantages as of yet
I don't personally own one of these fantastic cars although I wish I did. My father although does, I have though driven this car. My own car is a renault clio and I love it but it isn't a patch on this car! We have one in red with the boot spoiler, uprated alloys 16's and fog lamps as extras. It looks the part. In fact if I was after looks I'd pick this over the type R any day! Our coupe was registered in 2003, sadly just after we purchsed ours in ... ...the UK as it wasn't a brilliant seller. Don't get me wrong this isn't becuase it's a bad car it's like most coupe's in Britain don't sell awfully well. This was one of a few very hot selling cars in Canada where more people buy coupes. If they had driven this then everyone in the UK would have one. They presume coupe's to be tight on space but this has a larger boot and room in front and back than the Rover 400 Family car that my father had preceeding ...

Advantages: Vtec very responsive, sounds amazing and is bullet proof, 4 doors very versatile, economical. Disadvantages: NONE, its a HONDA
I own the 4 door saloon version of this car and must say that this is the best car i ever owned, I have previously owned BMW, golf, Audi, Toyota, Ford....etc. This Car is one of the most under rated out there, the vtec engine in this produces a massive 160 bhp as standard from a tiny 1.6 litre engine!!!!!!!!!!! and there is no turbo or supercharger!!!!!!!!!!!redlines at 8200 rpm, 0-60 in just 8 seconds, which is incredible.
It still returns 30 mpg ... ...doors, a decent sized boot, a/c, sunroof, disc brakes all round, ABS. power steering, Fully electric and best of all its a HONDA, completely bullet proof. It looks good and sticks to road like glue, The car is very well built and not prone to rust, i absolutely love it and also the fact that its very rare, makes it a real eye catcher. ...

Advantages: Great reliability, economy & looks ... Disadvantages: Just a little short on driver headroom for my 5 foot 6" frame and short legs!
...What a car! I've owned all sorts of European and Japanese cars over the last 40 years including Mercedes, Porsche, Lotus; I've driven many other marques too, but none could earn the accolade I grant this little gem: "if Honda made watches, this car would be considered a Swiss Chronometer." ...

Advantages: looks sweet and fast Disadvantages: economy
Hey,as 1 of my fave cars ive owned thers a lot of pros and cons for this car.Firstly i had the 1.5 16v non v-tec 1994 model,which was really really fast as it was my first car.Owned it for around 8 months b4 i wrote it off.It was really really quick and i believe it has 102bhp,and would easily get over the 120 mark often.As for comfort,being in a coupe you sit very low but visibility is great(5'8).very comfertable,long journeys can be tiresome though. ... ...material,never failed to start but i did overheat it due to a leak in the radiator but nothing major and ran like a dream. A worthy buy?definitely worth considering depending on what you want from a car but can get a dodgy fast and furious boy racer image,but that can be cool sumtimes.cheap to buy as there is many around so look carefully.hope this helps. ...

After trying out most of the COUPE'S on the market i finally settled for this little road hugging, wide bodied and sleek machine, even with a very heavy right foot and a full year of abuse i still haven't managed to break this machine. I drive around 100 miles per day just to get to work and back, i start abusing this car from start to finish due to me living in the valleys i'm constanly going up hill's and this little 1.5i COUPE loves it. I have ... ...bore exhaust, a strut brace and a few cosmetic items but as for the base car i haven't spent a penny not even for basic things like bearings, brake disc's etc they are all as when i bought the car over a year ago, the fuel consumption is less than the ford fiesta that my brother owns which is a 1.4l . And after tinting the windows out and adding a fairly large spoiler all my work mates say that it look's exactly like the infamous crime cars out of ...

Advantages: Runs like a dream Disadvantages: Mother has trouble getting in or out
...fell in love with my Honda as soon as a turned the key in the ignition, what a pleasure to drive.
So responsive, so smooth, what a beautiful car to look at.
I've owned this car for 3 years now. Apart from an annual service I have had no garage bills at all. There is now over 90.000 miles on the clock and it starts first turn of the key every time.
The bodywork has also stood the test of time well, no rust spots as yet (it's getting old now, N ... ...replacing the tyres which is far more than I expected as they are low profile.
The low seating still makes it difficult for my 80+ year old mother to get in and out, but with the help of a geriatrics turntable she manages fine.
Thoroughly recommend Honda cars to anyone. ...

...relieble as expected from most honda cars, but the new design i think couldhave been a more sportier look for the new civic, now it just looks a very un-practical ;D family car if you get what i mean, the 2 doors isnt a good idea on this new shape, you get this car and its just a typical car, you wont look at it and say oooh luvly luvly ;D unlike the older civic coupe which really is luvly ;D ive seen sum fellas doing these cars up and its just not ...
