Honda Civic Coupe (1992-1995) for Sale near Corner Brook, NL

Performance- good for a 1.6 liter but if you want more power go for the Si Build Quality- Excellent my car is 15 years old but still is mechanically solid and burn no oil. Appearance- I still think this is the best looking body style of all the Honda civics, and the interior is really pretty stylish Cost of Ownership- Other that oil changes and other preventative maintenance I have had no major issues in my 3 years of ownership. Fun Factor- Although this isn't a powerhouse it sits so low to the ground that when you through it around a bit it can be a lot of fun.

I would go into the reliability factor of the car and the good gas mileage, but seeing as how those are already the top things you expect from a Civic it seems like it would be a waste of time. What I can say though is that it is also a very comfortable and roomy car (for its size) that has proven itself on many long-distance drives. It's also a fairly decent crap hauler for it's size. It's certainly no truck, but it is in that class of small cars I like to call "compact sports trucks", sedans and coupes that have exceptional hauling capacity for their class. Once again, this has been put to the test as I've used it to haul small furniture and it served as a moving van once. It's also a very nice car to drive, as the acceleration, breaking, and handling are all very responsive and make a car that's speedy and fun to drive on the open road and easy to to maneuver in heavy traffic or mountain roads. While I originally wanted to rank the performance one notch away from "Amazing" because I have driven cars with better performance, I felt the Civic also deserves extra credit for how well it handles driving in harsh weather conditions. I've taken it through things that any sane person would know you do not attempt to drive a car through, particularly nasty blizzards, and it handles fine for the most part. And the car is starting to have a few issues as of late, but I still rated it solid reliability because even at 14 years old all the problems it's having are just minor maintenance issues. And considering the abuse that thing has taken, I'm amazed that it still has yet to require anything major. And when I rate the appearance low that is speaking of my specific car, because it has many scratches and dents on it from heavy abuse. The only real downsides to the car are it's size and that it's a 2-door, both of which aren't even really flaws with the car so much as they are things I personally should've thought about more when I got the car.

a little ninja soldier :) a little ninja soldier :) PERFORMANCE: The 1.6L D16 4-cylinder V-Tec engine producing 125hp and 106 ft-lb smoothly propels the 2200lb car adequately at lower rpm. At higher rpm the V-Tec engages a sportier intake cam profile, and the acceleration becomes lively –the engine spins very well right up to redline. Throttle response is a tiny bit slow. Demanding traffic conditions will necessitate frequent downshifting, but that is a welcome task with the pleasant manual transmission, although the clutch travel feels a little long. Braking is secure and weighted well, though attention needs to be paid to overheat because the discs are only in the front (drums in the rear). The car handles very well and is fun to drive. With a taut suspension setting, body lean is relatively contained through corners with good grip and the ride is moderate, though road imperfections feel harsher as the car ages. Steering is weighted well, with decent feedback. Emergency handling can be a bit tricky at limits or in slippery conditions because it’s a nose-heavy front-wheel-drive car, but is predictable enough to be controlled. Body rigidity could be better. There is abundant aftermarket support for this car. It sits right on the line between the compact economy and sporty segments, but will not to be mistaken for a performance car unless a few key items are modified: the engine (a B-series swap is popular), body rigidity, and transmission are highest priorities. COST/SAFETY /AESTHETICS/UTILITY: Overall the car is very reliable, but excessive aggressive driving will demand a price. At 196,000 miles major repairs were: timing belt, alternator, water pump, radiator, and a suspension arm boot. There was a small unidentified oil leak onto the center exhaust pipe at the time I lost this car. Routine oil changes and occasional tune-ups were also performed. Maintenance costs should be relatively low due to an abundance of parts for these cars. Body integrity is very good. The body panels and chassis soaked up very well all the dings and hits from learning to drive :]. Fuel economy ranged between 31 and 44 mpg, depending on how it was driven. Normal driving in a rural area returned a very good 36 mpg consistently. Maneuverability is excellent, with a very tight turning radius. I lost this car to a lady who rear-ended me in a SUV at a highway entry ramp. My car was knocked quite a distance, but rear-seat occupants would have been fine (maybe some whiplash) from this 4000lb impact to the rear at about 40mph. Only front and passenger airbags are available as far as I know. Because of this and the relatively low and narrow profile of the car, crash safety ratings are fair/average. Many people like the simple look of the car, and I think both the interior and exterior designs were ahead of other vehicles of its time. The window waistline could be a bit higher by today’s design trends. The instruments and controls are laid out thoughtfully. The coupe has less versatility than the sedan, but more than the hatchback. The compact and narrow dimensions of the coupe result in limited interior room and a rather cozy ride with your occupants. Taller (> ~5’7”) or heftier (>~170lb) people will only fit in the front seats while compromising rear seat room. Front seats are shaped rather uncomfortably, with the upper back contoured back too much. the cabin is a bit noisy, with pronounced wind and tire noise. Overall this is a pleasant car that is fun to drive, with very good gas mileage with looks about as much as it performs (both moderate). If you’re a medium to smaller person who wants a reliable fun, economical everyday car on a budget and don’t mind limited utility, this car is right for you.

I love hondas, they all have strong engines and they can go forever. The acceleration is great, it shifts good too. It has a short ram intake and a full exahust on it as well. It gets good gas milage about 30mpgs. Its a fun little car to drive. Its easy to modify of course becasue its a honda. Theres a big market for street racers too, every one is different too.

lovely car lots of potential, VTEC is bulletproof
