Honda Civic IMA 1300 Review

Good Points
Excellent for use in London and any other cities adopting Congestion Tax.

Bad Points
The IMA does not ride well over speed humps. I guess the suspension is too firm because at even slight speed, the shock is transferred through the car. Even with the electric motor assisting, the engine acceleration is lacking, however, this is balanced with the engine capacity and car size

General Comments
Very pleased with my Honda Civic IMA 1300 overall, it's excellent for city driving, economical and absolutely reliable. In London this car cries out for an automatic version, which was made when I bought this one but not available in UK.

Has good build quality, even excellent in some respects. Very comfortable for driver & passengers with leather seats as standard. Climate control as standard is a nice touch. It's environmentally friendly so road fund licence now dropped to about £40, also highly economical if driven correctly. The constant mpg readout shows you when you're driving economically and when you're not. The ultimate in reliability. My IMA has not broken down even once in nearly three and a half years.
