Good Car, Crappy Windows
This car has served me well. I have had no engine problems whatsoever, but the power windows are defective and barely work. My 5-speed is fun to drive. Low-end power is nonexistent but there is a nice surge of power once you push it up over 4500 rpm, which is the sweet spot for Honda 4-cylinder engines anyway. Handling is crisp and the ride is smooth although noisy at highway speeds. Front seats are unsupportive for long trips. CD player has started to skip badly despite repeated cleanings of the laser lens.
Civi Si
First off, if i know that the "Si" meant steal it I would have bought a daewoo. Other than that its a blast to drive. What really sold me was the fact that I could get some sporty performance or decent gas mileage (haven't hit above 32 mpg yet), depending on my mood. Also it handles really well for being FWD. I also really liked that they put in the B16A2 engine instead of boring D-series.
Almost the perfect car
Very hard to find vehicles..get one while you can.Took me about 4-5 months to find one that I really want and is in excellent conditions.Wouldn't trade it for another car.
Good but not great
Poor pick up for such a light car. The body design will not bode well when in accident. I had a small accident and had to have the entire right front body replaced (I hit a small animal). I do recommend for city driving and gas useage. This was my first car, I am not looking to make it a permanent fixture at my house.
Not a bad day in this car
I think the car speaks for itself. 1.6 liter engine that puts out 160 hp. Hard to find another car that does that. Handles with confidence. Very comfortable. Extremely well built and reliable. I have driven this car hard but it seems to have been designed for it. The redline is at 8000 rpm and it makes its max horsepower at 7800.
Couldn't let go
This is my 3rd Civic over a 12-year period. I've owned the '91 hatchbacks and '94 EX coupes and this model is by far the best one. I prefer this model over the current hatchback Si's. I've driven it for 51,500 miles with no problem. I was within a day of selling it when when I bought my IS300, but decided I couldn't let go of it. I suspect my Si will outlast the IS.
Si pride
this car is awesome to drive could use some more torque but for a 4cyl, 1.6 liter honda got the most you could which is pretty impressive for this engine! bought the car brand new and do not plan to sell anytime soon!!! :)
Great car, but far from perfect
I love almost everything about this car. The handling is nice, you don't have to change the oil but for every 7500 miles, good size/feel, good mileage, lots of good things No repair issues. The only things I don't like are the brakes (they have started to make lots of noises but are only at around 50% wear, just an annoyance) and the acceleration. The acceleration leaves a lot to be desired. You don't buy a Civic for a performance vehicle, I guess. Again, it's not awful, but I wish it had a little more giddy-up going uphill.
SI for life!!!
ive had my SI since 2002, i love it to death!!! poured over 15,000 dollars into it starting with looks, suspension, performance, audio.. would STRONGLY recommend The SI to any auto consumer!!!!
EXcellent
Beat the car down with miles, and it still drives great! Never had to take it to the shop or anything, besides oil changes.
