I bought one and do not regret it. It is the best choice i could have made! I couldn't be more satisfied with its practicality and daily performance. WHAT A GREAT CAR! I own the 1.8 petrol from 2015. It is fun to drive, only uses 6.2 L per 100km. Maintenace is so easy it can all be done by yourself. The boot space is mind boggling I fit 2 mountainbikes in mine!

@@OsvUkVehicleSupply Overall i just liked the overall concept and all the genius little details. The torsion beam suspension freeing up space in the boot, ives this car as much interior space as an MPV but it is very low slung and looks like a coupe. Further more after reading through the service manuals of the civic and its japanese rivals, the civic in the petrol cersion is by far the easiest to maintain on your own (no special tools needed even for valve adjustment) those were the main reasons

What a great video, so comprehensive. I’ve just been contacted by a local dealer with a brilliant offer on the exact model, even though I wasn’t planning on replacing my 145000 mile Honda Accord 2007 2.0SE, petrol, just yet as it still feels so well put together. I can see myself being Honda for life. I get 43 plus mpg out of my Accord, but can still get great entertainment out of the Vtec engine, when suitable. It’s the best overall car I’ve ever had, never lets me down, amazing gearbox, engine, electrics and chassis, it’s a pleasure to drive and own. It’s still contemporary looking and makes other cars from the mid 2000s look plain dated. One spot of rust on one wheel arch, otherwise it looks new,mi can never understand why Honda can’t keep importing them.

This 2016/17 civic is better drive than current model imo. Better made too. I traded a civic type r for mine so it's not as fast but its unbelievable economy (min60mpg in mixed driving 75+on motorway)very relaxed but punchy .

As I own a mint Integra dc 5 very low mileage I can still get my "fix". From what I know the enthusiasts are rating the fk2 over the fk8 latest model because it's purer and feels more focussed. People I know rate the fk2 extremely high as a drive. But they very expensive on tyres and can drink a bit too. My Integra is good on fuel and has a performance close to fk2 up to 100 it will keep up with focus rs turn in and cornering off the scale.

What an excellent review. All aspects covered in great detail. I bought the exact same model in 2020, to replace a mk5 Golf 1.9tdi Sport, and I’m really happy with mine. Low running costs, lots of kit, huge boot, plus it’s a Sport so slightly better looking. The only two negative points (vs the Golf) are the handling (it’s not as assertive), and interior build quality, but other than that, it’s far superior. VW made huge mistakes with the metal protection on the mk5/6’s, the Honda doesn’t have that issue.
