WTF £15,500 back then?! My parents bought a brand new house for 30K back then. That's like me buying a £150k car and getting an average house for 300k!
Lol love old top gear and eg civics nice to drive and easy 2 steal used to love going out in the late 90's with just 2 screwdrivers to rob esi's and vti's sorry people if I robbed your car
I love the VTi. I just do. I share the same opinion with Tiff about the interior design, it has a lack of character. But the bodywork and the engine bay looks like it could be a car from later nineties or even from the year 2000.
I always felt this generation of Civic was a bit underrated. I liked the saloon version in particular. Easily the best small saloon in the class of the time (and I say that despite being a bit of a Ford Orion fan :-P)
Even at that time that is a pretty bland interior but what the hell man, is that car a road rocket in disguise or what? No one expects a car that looks like this to have 150 bhp! Dream sleeper.
Its funny how he says japanese blandness. It looks a million times better than all its rivals today and the honda civic stills works unlike the rest of em.
awesome car. my 18 year civic can still hit the 200kph mark and gives exellent mileage per gal. it can smoke most of the 1.6L category car in the market today.
Any car that you can easily fit its own motor and tranny into the luggage area has more than enough space in my books ;) Seen it done in these hatches many times by guys picking up DOHC motor swaps lmao.
@buttargh24 in the uk we have a few different vti models... the most common ones r the 1.6 vti 3door...i have the 1.8vti 5door version which is often over looked by a lot of people who dismiss it and compare it to a rover 400( they look almost identical)
on paper the 1.6 is slightly faster than the 1.8 to reach 60mph so a lot of folk opt for the 1.6 not realising how good the 1.8 actually is....if u ever think about getting an old euro civic the 1.8 has LSD and is restricted to 150mph
Oh Honda, where are thy now....
