I agree its a very nice looking car i bought this very model yesterday one owner with 17k on the clock like a new car serviced every year stored in a garage couldn't believe how clean the underside was engine is spotless
I put 18inch alloys on corner s like it's on rails now mines the 1.8 spot you get alot of car for your money I paid nearly 13 grand with 17k on clock to be fair is like a new car
Great car if not that rust. Own it, 7y on the road and already rust or a roof, under wind shield rubber. I was ok with rust under the car, but the roof... From a technical perspective - great.
I’m looking at purchasing one of these as my next car, I’ve watched a few of your videos on them and with it being a Honda you know it will be reliable especially because it’s a pre turbo era for the petrol that is. Based on the engines that being 1.8 & 1.6 which would you say is the best?
The 1.8 with decent servicing is pretty much bomb proof. The 1.6 diesel, likewise but bear in mind the 1.6 is a turbo engine albeit we don't really touch them
it is fine if you drive it like a petrol and not like a diesel ! The petrols have less torque so I you're going up a steep hill you may drop from sixth to fourth rather than fifth for an example. You just work the engine harder when you need to, its why they have a wider power band than a diesel so the revs can be utilised.
