Honda Civic Coupe (1996-1999) for Sale near Quebec

Most of you Honda owners probably know if you do your routine maintenance judiciously, they can last you 150k-250k miles. The build quality is great, the engine runs strong even after 100k miles and you barely notice that it's a >15yo car at times. It handles quite well for its price, and the V-Tech engine is fairly powerful for such a small displacement. With a 1.6 litre Inline-4 engine producing 127/6600 HP and 107/5500 TQ, howling it's 2513-lb curb weight isn't too much trouble. However the interior can wear out if you're under California sun, especially the sun visors and the roof panels; dirt can trickle down when you bump into them. Gas mileage is excellent (25-30mpg). With its great reliability, the Civic EX Coupe is one of the most fun econobox you can purchase used for <$5k; but then of course, careful screening (CarFax, autocheck, maintenance records etc) and bringing a mechanic friend when you do decide to shop for a used Civic is needed to prevent getting poorly maintained ones.

Drove this car for abotu two years in high school, and now my little sister is driving it. I loved the manual transmission, and i never had any real problems with it besides the fact that the manual crank windows sucked. There just wasn't enough acceleration in it. It would have been decent acceleration for a passenger car, but just not enough for a sport car.

Overall impression, I'm pretty much impressed with the car. I'm a huge fan of Honda and this is one of my favorite model of all. Handling is not that great when the car is fully stock, but since I have upgraded the suspension (redo the whole thing), it handles nice and firm now. Acceleration, you might not want to expect a lot from the stock 1.6l SOHC engine. But again, this is a civic, there are tons of possibilities on this car, swap out the engine with Civic Si or Integra GSR and you'll be amazed how much powerful this car can be. Braking is just okay, make sure you replace the pads on rotors as it's probably worn out for the age. Appearance is not that bad at all, I never find my car looks outdated at all, Honda designed their cars to last pretty long. I'd recommend this car for people in the market for used car. Price is not so bad, expect to pay around 4-5k for decent condition ones. Don't forget to change the timing belts, perform all the recommended maintenance because most parts are toasted already. Also, I'd recommend adding security device on this car, this is the most stolen car in the US, park carefully!

Perfect little car. Fuel efficient, good car for the winter. It performs fairly well for a little 4 banger. It's fairly cheap to maintain and parts are cheap and easy to find. The car is fun for what it is.

the suspension work makes it a lot of fun to take around turns along with the sound of VTEC kicking in is amazing. Its a little slugish off the line, I would really love the money for a B18C5 engine swap. I also want some Honda Fit HFP rims before next spring with some Toyo Proxes T1R rubbers
