Mini Review - Honda Civic 1.8 V-Tec Si

A repairers courtesy car loaned to me this very morn whilst said repairer gets on with sorting out the mess of a repair they inflicted upon the Golf recently, with a mere 200 miles on the clock... FOOLS!

I love the dash, but then I was always a perv for the digital instruments that were in the Mk2 Astra GTEs and MG Maestro 1.6 I had in times gone by.

Handling good... ride, as expected, a touch on the hard side.

Seems to be doing reasonably well on fuel considering the novelty of having something fairly perky at my disposal hasn't worn off yet, and isn't likely to before it goes back to the repairers, either.

Huge boot, and seems roomy enough in the main cabin, although it's not that much fun to reverse park due to the shape / poor rear visibility etc.

One other niggle I've noticed is it occasionally seems to have the odd hesitation when you're on very light throttle around town etc - seems to be a fault rather than an oversensitive throttle responding to your foot when you go over bumps etc.

Cack speakers compared to the Golf, and really cheap plastics on door cards... no cupholders apparent either, and the dash isn't really all that soft to the touch.

So, if I were in the market for something in this sector, would I buy one?

Undecided yet - I'd want to try a new Golf first, predicably... ;-)
