Great car to drive, disappointed in garage Grangemouth Phoenix Honda. I had car 5 weeks drop link went, not covered in warranty (wear and tear). I replaced air filter, oil filter and oil and front brake pads within 2 months. On complaining I was told the car had a 30 point check before I bought it. Now after 55000 miles the clutch has burned out and guess what its wear and tear not covered in warranty. Guess who won’t be using Phoenix Honda Grangemouth again?

Opted for ’reliable’ Honda from new, at 22,000 miles required new clutch and temp sensor, repaired under warranty. Now just over 3 years old and 42,000 miles, requires another new clutch; slipping between 2000 - 4000 revs in 4th 5th and 6th gear, no longer covered under warranty and expect to get little change out of £1000, not what I expect from Honda! Also 2 new swing arm bushes had to be replaced to pass MOT (previous Renault had done in excess of 70000 still on original clutch and only ball joints were replaced at about 50k miles), will not consider buying another Honda, wished I had opted for my second choice German car or even another Renault.

Good performance engine and good reliability, However suffers for practicality. The major issue is the very poor visibility, you have very poor visibility out the back (no rear windscreen wiper doesn’t help) and the side mirrors have very sizeable blind spots. Thankfully I don’t have to drive in town as I would be very worried if my route was shared with a lot of cyclists, and I have had a number of worrying close near misses with other vehicles. Minor additional irritation is that the driver seat does not lower, so if you are slightly above average height you will enter work with you hair vertical from static.

I have owned the Honda Civic for 3 years now and it has not had one fault in all this time. The main dealers are all brilliant to deal with which is a refreshing change.

Had my civic for just over a year and on first glance the car was very good but as you drive it more and more you find its faults as listed below; * suspension is loud and unrefined (problem with bump stops) * Some annoying rattles on dash * hands free microphone inadequate * THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE BEING THAT THE 2.2TD HAS A FAULTY CLUTCH WHICH CANNOT HANDLE THE TORQUE OF THE ENGINE FROM 2000 TO 4000 RPM AND WILL SLIP ON MOST. HONDA WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS AND SO YOU COULD BE CHARGED UP TO £1500 FOR A REPAIR. PLEASE SEE THE CIVINFO WEBSITE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON THIS Because of this I have now sold my civic, hope this helps anyone thinking of buying a diesel civic

This is my wife’s company car, thank goodness. If we’d bought this I’d be really hacked off. I think this is a seriously flawed car, and potentially dangerous. As follows: general visibility awful and rear visibility appalling (I know some one who had to change their route to work as he couldn’t see to pull out at a junction!), not helped by no wiper to remove rain on the daft rear screen, very harsh ride and noisy too, poor access as people including myself/wife keep banging heads getting in, can’t get 47 mpg. Over 20k miles on all types of route (54 advertised), poor boot space, air con very noisy and complicated. The good points: very torquey engine minimises gear changes and gives good acceleration. Overall I wouldn’t touch one again and recommend a very long test drive to weigh up if it suits you. Goodness knows what the design team was thinking of when this was approved!

The Honda Civic is a beautifully built car. This is the most attractive hatchback on the market. The Civic could easily be used in Sci-Fi films, such is its space-age appearance. I chose the 1.8 for the better performance that it offers. The 1.4 is rather weak. Honda have build the interior well with lots of space for legs and shoulders. The build quality is were the Civic really stands head and shoulders above its rivals - everything is beautiful and this helps give the car an extremely refined look. The Civic is great value for money and economical to run.
