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.

@dilan4123 Жыл бұрын
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

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.

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.

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've just bought the same one -my2005. I can't wait to start using it. I hope there are a lot of happy miles in front of us.

I "old" and I have a manual gear box because it's fun! Also I'm an American and have a Honda Accord, which is what Civic buyers would get in the U.S. because gas is cheap. My radio station is '60's rock, even though I was a small child then! Civics are great cars.

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.

The mk8 civic that looks like darth vader came out in 2005 on 55 plate. These early models had faults on them with the fuel flap and the handbrake. My father bought a new 2007 honda civic 1.8 petrol mk8 and still has it with just 34,000 miles on the clock and i have serviced it every year with mobil 1 fully synthetic oil from new. Nothing has gone wrong with it so far, even all the bulbs are still the original and working fine. The mk7 here will be equally as good, if not better im sure.

I've had this exact car, a 5 door 1.6 manual in silver. It was great to drive, although the revs were quite high above 75mph. Great car that never let me down! Although it needed a bit of oil every now and then ;)
