A superb review of what is a classic of design by now. Jonathan Crouch is one of the few reviewers whose use of the English language lets the words do the work and not silly exclamations and OTT quirks. Where else would hear the word "rorty" used? It is an arcane and almost archaic word which precisely describes what is meant. He does not waste a second and his excitement is downplayed and gentlemanly. Some of my transatlantic friends are huge admirers of Jonathan's style too.
Thank you so much for your carefully considered and thoughtful feedback. It’s so long ago that I wrote this script but it would never have occurred to me at the time that a decade and a half later someone would derive enjoyment from the effort I had put into it. The fact that you took the trouble to communicate this makes that effort worthwhile. Thank you Jonathan Crouch
No I owned a 10th gen Civic 2017hb 1.5 turbo I had 245hp in mine But that car was not Typical honda quality Now Honda sucks I sold it and bought a Civic tourer 2014
My 2006 1.8 civic ishift has done 150k miles, only had 1 clutch on 117k miles, apart from 2x E10 petrol related breakdown and 2x fuel injectors replaced I haven’t had an issue with the civic So long as I only use Premium E5 petrol this will probably last me until 200k miles
