Good Points

I got this car used on a 96 (p) reg, and it is the best car I have ever had. It has brilliant touque for a 1.6 and can pull 0 to 60 in under 9 secounds. It has a very good size boot for a coupe and a good amount of room in the back for a 2 door. The perforance is brilliant at 5000 revs in 5th it will cruise at 130mph easy.

Bad Points

Only bad point is that the parcel shelf can not be removed so I am stuck with the standard honda 6x9 speakers, which have a max wattage of 30.

General Comments

This Honda Civic Coupe 1.6 LS family car has unbeliveable performance for a 1.6i and with its sporty looks and sensible amount of room there isn't more you could ask for in a car. I got this car for only £3k and it only has 40k on the clock.

    I also have the same car in silver on a 96 p reg. It is a bit of a pain to do but it is possible to replace the stock 6x9's. You have to first take out the rear seats then the side panels in the back. This allows you to get to the parcel shelf and remove it and get to the speakers. Its actually a lot easier than it sounds as I did it without any previous experience. The panels just pop off with a bit of gentle persuasion. In order to get the rear panels of, you also need to unbolt both front seatbelt fastenings as you will find out.
