Our BMW broke down last year on the ferry ramp on a visit to the UK (we live in Normandy) Clutch went. We were on holiday and needed a car. Bought one of these for just under a grand. Low mileage, tidy condition. Great little car. We didn't bother fixing the BMW (dreadful thing) and kept this. It is brilliant.

That's my first car. Lovely thing. Honestly that 1.6 VTEC is the best engine in any car I have ever owned. Loves to rev, refined at low speeds and extremely economical for its aged. Can easy get 40+ mpg on a long run. Absolute bargain for a new owner.

Totally agree. I had the pre-facelift model - 53 plate. Terrific to drive, really easy. Gear stick postion brilliant, as Matt says. Beautifully sweet engine, the 1.6 VTEC, and always started first time. Loads of room. Easy to work on, too! Weren't these the last of the Civics to have independent rear suspension?

I always referred to the slightly darker 'Classic' tan or 'off brown' leather, beloved of top end BMW, Alfa, Ferrari et al as Diarrhea Brown. I would love to interview the first buyer of these puke inducing automotive outcasts to find out what was in their head when they ordered the bloody thing at the dealership. You know, the moment the sales guy shows you the leather swatches of trim colour and what? you think, Great just like the last time I wiped my arse, I'll take it... When some poor sod has to sell it used, you can always spot them as they're £1k cheaper than anything else - and for good reason... Sorry just saying!

@dilan4123 Год назад
There is liability which people don't account for, correct, but at the end of the day, alot of dealers offer what is below par offers for cars given in part exchange because they know sellers would rather it be done and dusted. Alot of the time you the offers you see dealers make are almost insulting unless the car is almost brand new. All in all, dealers cannot complain about issues/problems they come across as they more often than not are getting bargains which they make big profits on which more than make up for the odd lemon

I love this show and it always surprises me of the low valuation of used cars in UK. In Canada, even a slightly dented and scraped 18 year old Honda would be worth much more than £500 ($837 CAD). And one like this with low mileage, service history and a high spec would certainly warrant that small body repair, as the seller could easily get their money back.

Great review. I know a fair bit about these EP civics. Have always been my go to 'In between car' when needing to keep on the road between buying and selling of my personal more expensive car. Absolutely bullet proof. One common issue on the manual is a noisy input shaft gearbox bearing which the majority of them suffer with. It generates a whine but doesn't impede the operation of the gears or driving. Another problem is that the a large number of thees EP model civics are being written off due to their expensive catalytic converters being stolen. Alot of Honda's this age have become targets. You're right about snobs in the UK. It definatley is all the car you need and can be hand for around 1to £2k.

This is like venerating the hard work and effort of people that take care of their cars, clearly enjoy and rely on them and keep them going far longer than average. These owners and cars like the Honda should get awards for contributing to Global Warning reduction. 18 years is double the life of an average car that has been abused. Also this car will be a lot more reliable and cheap to run compared to a Range Rover, your profit would be about a months running I reckon. Imagine if this had been a Corsa. Well done, Matt.

I bought one of these nearly two years ago as a second car/runabout for £1400. A silver 2003/53 pre facelift model in limited edition trim. 75k miles, full documented history and bodywork near mint for its age. I'm really fond of it and can't bring myself to sell it on to be honest. Super sweet engine and gearbox. It's a genuinely fun car to drive - much more so than it's straight laced looks would suggest. VTEC motors do enjoy a good kick. And of course they're we'll built and tightly engineered cars. They really are made to go the distance. To preserve its condition I decided to garage/SORN it over winter so it's not subject to salty roads. BTW oil burn should not be an issue at all on these D series motors unless they have been very neglected. Only thing I've had to do was the front calipers wipers and a light bulb!

I worked for Honda for years and sold those when they were brand new, (the colour is called Cosmic Grey BTW) the average age of a 5-door Civic Exec buyer back then was probably about 60 so they're generally well-maintained and if looked after mechanically bulletproof. I've never seen an Exec with that colour of interior in the flesh though as 99% of them were ordered black (because the grey one looks rank) so it's probably an ex-demo dumped on a dealer by Honda UK. My Mrs just passed her test on an Auto last year so I got her one in exactly the same age and colour, 40K miles, 1 owner with a full Honda Service History for £1550. It was a bit rough on bodywork like this one but it soon came up good with some G3 and a wheel refurb. It will probably outlast her if she wants to keep it.

Really enjoy it when we see the whole thing, from purchase through renovation to sale. My wife's Honda Accord went for 229,000 miles without any major issues, and we sold it as a going concern after that. Honda's are great cars, as we all know. And you're right. It will go for another ten years with care.

Owned one and flogged many, not a moments bother had with any of them. Brilliant cheap used cars. Even the diesel (1.7 Isuzu) is a tough nut to crack, but the 1.6 petrol is all you need. The 2.0 Type-S 5dr was a bit of an unsung hero. Loads of go, decent on fuel, chain driven and plenty of space.
