1.8 i-VTEC TYPE S GT

Review

Its a beautiful car with speed. Runs so smoothly. Amazing metallic front grille, great fuel economy indicator, rear octagonal combi light and cruise control. For me its heaven as it flies in sky with such a comfort, you cant even imagine!!!

Favourite Features

A very sporty look and style with power is the best feature of this car. It has a look to die for with the power to touch skies!!!!

Suggested Improvements

The car is so comfortable and good to look it is difficult to find any setbacks. According to me there are no setbacks in this car hence there is no need to for any improvment!!!! Its an amazing car

1.4 i-VTEC TYPE S

Review

Excellent car, very good runner. In its 8 years it has done 80,000 miles and have never had a minutes trouble. Kept in good condition and regular checks, the car runs like a dream and no need to worry!

Favourite Features

Gearstick location higher up on the front panel of the car is comfortable to use and more natural!!!!

Suggested Improvements

Front seats return to upright position when allowing passengers to get in the back of the car. The seats should return to the position they were last in!

1.4 i-VTEC TYPE S

Review

The Civic is a very stylish car. It is a status symbol and makes a statement. Its both compact and comfortable and at the same time its safe. The Civic is the car for all ages but suits especially to more stylish people. My personal experience with Civic has been wonderful and I would definitely recommend this car to others.

Favourite Features

The Civic has a sturdy built and its power steering is handy and very comfortable. Its an attractive car and its looks itself is a very big selling point. The interiors of the car are fabulous.

Suggested Improvements

It could be made a little more fuel efficient so that it becomes cost effective, but other than that its a fabulous car for every one.

Civic 16I 16V DOHC.

Review by Sue Lubi on 27/4/2010

Vehicle

1.8 i-VTEC TYP S GT-T iSFT

Review

I've had my Civic for 10 years now. It is a superb car and great fun to drive. I love it! Im getting another one soon too. Certainly NOT a hairdressers car! This car has NEVER let me down. A pleasure to own and drive.

Favourite Features

I love the fact that I feel safe overtaking, knowing that something will happen as soon as I put my foot down.

Suggested Improvements

The two main things I would change are: No power steering - this makes the steering very heavy - nightmare for tight parking. No central locking. But it is an old model so im sure my next one will be just perfect!

Honda Civic Type R Championship White

Review by Mr J Thomas on 27/4/2010

Vehicle

2.0 i-VTEC TYPE R C/W

Review

The Championship White is how all Type R's should have been. As the Limited slip differential makes for a much better car, not just on the track but sharpens all the main features of the car, Engine, brakes and suspension etc

The White paintwork takes a bit of getting used to, but grows on you in time, although the wheels get very grubby, very quickly.

Favourite Features

Limited Slip Diffential, White Paint also limited quantity built so quite exclusive approx 660 built.

Suggested Improvements

More Power, Better paintwork as paint is very soft, and scratch's and chips far to easily. Needs Anti Scratch panel infront of Rev Counter, as this panel smears and scratchs far to easily.

Rock solid engineering!!

Review by T Hurved on 27/4/2010

2.0 i-VTEC TYPE R C/W

Review

From the gorgeous sleek looks to the sound of the V-Tec screaming at over 8000rpm, this car has it all. You wont go far wrong from buying one of these motoring perfections!! I would recommend you run it on Shell Optimax fuel at this makes it perform even better!!

Favourite Features

Bomb proof V-Tec engine, Racing inspired seats, dash mounted gear stick is surprising easy and comfortable to use.

Suggested Improvements

I honestly cannot think of anything that those bods at Honda can do to make this car significantly better!! Maybe increase engine power a little as similar competitors like Ford and Renault already break the 220 Bhp mark.

Made for people like me

Review by John Mcdonald on 27/4/2010

Vehicle

1.4 i-VTEC TYPE S

Review

One of the best cars I have owned, really nice car good shape, very nice reliable engine that you would expect from honda. Smooth gear shift, nice handling, good response from the accelerator, smooth ride has the full electrical package loads of boot space back seats fold down and I even fitted my new fridge freezer in with no problems so it gets the thumbs up from me great car for the younger group.

Favourite Features

Can be customised with body parts and lowered. I just love the shape and its quite low to the ground so it feels quicker love the boot space... in fact, love everything about this car

Suggested Improvements

I cant really think of any improvements - better mirrors if anything, nicer looking dash and a good cd/mp3 player would be good

Stunning?

Review by Jane Reece on 29/12/2009

HAT 1.4i VTEC TYPE S

Review

The first thing you will like as a buyer of this car is the style of this car. The car has got a lovely look to it, the interior design of the car is brilliant. The style of the seats are very posh and comfortable inside to. I really love the style of the car this was my first car and I really did like the style of the car.

However the main points of a car is how it runs really on the road. At winter time the car was not very reliable on the road at all. I remember not being able to get through ice or just a small amount of snow so driving in the bad weather never worked out for me.

Plus the speed of the car was very fast so you really had to be focused on the brakes. The car on the motorway was a wonder though it used to run so fast and get me to many places in quick time!

Favourite Features

I liked the speed of the car the most to be honest, the top reason for that is the car was a wonder at running fast on the road. I would get to places like Bolton in fast time from Manchester because speed would pick up fast.

The other features were controlling the brakes which were really strong in the car. I had never had a issue with the brakes of the car at all. I think the brakes were handy and kept me safe on the road.

Suggested Improvements

Better tires and a better gear box that does not make noise either! The exhaust was a problem for me that had to be repaired a few times before it worked better. I think if the car had these problems sorted, it would have been 100 percent way much better.

The car also could have done with a better heating system, I had to wait 15 minutes or more at times just for the car to warm up!

HAT 1.8i VTEC TYPE S GT

Review

In my own view, Honda likely doesn’t want to mess with a good thing. If there’s one complaint to be made though, it’s that the vehicle can take on a min-van like appearance with its sloped front-end and windshield. The models can help remedy this with their sport-inspired appearance, especially with an added spoiler. The interior designis pretty standard fare, it does have one feature that you’re sure to either absolutely hate or completely love. Unlike nearly every other vehicle out there, the Civic’s speedometer and gas gauge are located at the base of the windshield. In theory, their placement is meant to allow drivers to more easily check their speed and gas tank, without taking their eyes off the road. It provides various degrees of fuel efficiency. More powerful engine available with safety performance. It may not be particularly flashy, but whatever the car is lacking in style is made up for in nearly every other area.

Favourite Features

Powerful engine, safety, high performance, you can see its more powerful engine available with safety performance.

Honda is the Best

Review by Jennie Chan on 7/12/2009

Vehicle

HAT 1.8i VTEC TYPE S

Review

I have been driving Honda for quite some time now. It's one of the most consistent brands and great value for the money. I had no problems with it as I have always kept to date with my maintenance. The car is easy to operate and it tells you when it needs your attention.

Favourite Features

Leg room is very good for tall people. Compare to Toyota it's the most impressive feature. It doesn't make you feel crowded. Performance is awesome. When the VTEC kicks in, you can feel the power. I also love the way it is not complicated to drive, in fact it's quite fun.

Suggested Improvements

The service at Honda dealer is not the best. When you have a problem to ask, they tend to give you a random answer. It took 6 hours for a regular maintenance once. I really think they should improve their service standards. Their pricing is also going up. In terms of their products, its good value for money, but the service is totally the other way around. It's like paying for a BMW but got a Toyota instead.
