    I absolutely love my Honda Civic 1.6 SR VTec. It has just had it's 13th birthday and it can still push out power to excite from the outstanding VTec engine. My neighbour calls it my Formula 3 Civic. I have driven this car and I mean really driven it, the engine is outstanding and has never let me down. Despite the punishment I have delivered to this car, my only major expenditure has been a recently broken drive shaft (completely destroyed actually). I cannot reccomend this car enough, as a family run-about it is exceptional, it is deceptively large and has never let me down when I have been over-indulgent at B & Q and if you are alone and feel it is time for some real fun, throw it around some roundabouts in second gear at a decent speed and it will not let you down. This is indeed an outstanding wolf in sheeps clothing which will never fail to put a smile on your face.

    OK so I have only owned my Honda Civic 1.6 Vtec for 2 weeks but it is sooo good it has to be reviewed straight away!
    Coming straight from a CR-V auto of the same year I was worried this might seem small and tinny but fear not this is a real car all right.
    My mpg has averaged 44 over more than 200 miles, half in town half on a run so it does exactly what it says on the can (actual petrol useage not just the in-car meter) Reckon on 30 in town and nearly 50 on a run.
    Plenty of room for four adults ...

    The Honda civic 160i vtec is an absolute joy to drive, the high reving nature of the motor becomes addictive. It feels as if the engine is begging you to rev it to the redline. All that needs to be done to make it really fast is the cams, head, air induction, and free flow...

    It is a unique car, and they don't make them like this anymore. I had one for several years and got to love it each year more and more. Exceptionally comfortable driver and back-seat experience. Great control over driving in every possible aspect. Fantastic economy. In short, It is THE car for those who like to enjoy driving. Pure joy for the driver and the whole family.

    Honda say in their blurb that they have never had a mechanical failure in their Vtec engines and I for one can believe them. The Civic 1.6 attached to the automatic gear box offers all one can ask for. But be prepared for 6500rpm for full performance, and the sound of that engine at full chat is as smooth as a babys bottom.
    I loved it. I drove it hard and it never blinked once. Would I recommend it, you bet.

    I was disappointed with my first Honda Civic, although it feels more solid and better built than French cars, some examples seem to have many rattles, clunks, trim that doesn't fit exactly and they are not 100% mechanically relaible either. The engine note is not exactly encouraging you to push it either. Several examples I've driven sound like wooden blocks being shaken in a plastic container although semi- quietly in the background, but noticeable.
    However it is large for its class and the po ...

    The Honda Civic 1.6 Vtec is a good comfortable car for running about in. Can get off its mark when it needs to. MPG approx 38.
