HONDA TYPE R 2000 FULL
Normal schedule for filters/fluids and preventative replacement of major wear components in the last 40k miles (clutch, brakes, full exhaust, shocks/struts, ball joints, etc.) should see this car get to 200k no problem. Issues I have had are very minor (cracked distributor cap, frozen crank window regulators, lower ball joints, wonky A/C clutch) and have been low-cost to fix with good parts. High-quality synthetic and filter every 7500mi. Lives up to the "bulletproof Honda" mantra. Washed monthly and hand-waxed every couple of months has kept the paint mostly bright. Exterior has held up mostly well, although there are initial signs of a few rust bubbles around the rear wheels. Hatchback is cavernous for its size with folding seats. Although not modern, it is simplistic, which is a major antithesis to the gadget-laden stuff on sale today. Winter conditions in an FWD are no problem with good tires and a manual.
HONDA TYPE R 2000 MANUAL
Although highway merging requires planning with only about 105hp, the 5sp manual helps control … the power band better than the automatic.
Almost 130k and it consistently nets me 38-45mpg with a mix of 80% highway and 20% city driving. Gave it a very comprehensive service and full detail and she has been running like a clock ever since then. Whatever your needs, Honda offers a Civic that will meet them - unless your needs include towing trailers or carrying a family of five.Ībsolutely love this car! Purchased a respectable example with low-mileage five years ago. Style-conscious buyers will go for the svelte coupe, or the suave EX Sedan. Strict budgets demand a look at the CX, while sedans are aimed more at the creature-comfort side of the scale. Want a fuel miser? The HX Coupe is your car, getting up to 44 mpg.
For those who like a bit of fun in their commute, try the Si version of the coupe. It is a car that easily endears itself to its owner. It is a car that holds its resale value better than most of the cars it competes with. It is a car for people who don't enjoy repair-shop waiting rooms. Hondas tend to be on the expensive end of the scale when new, but over time, they are a far better value than most of their contemporaries. The Civic has few shortcomings, aside from its anonymous personality. The Si Coupe sports a DOHC four-cylinder that makes 160 horsepower at 7,000 rpm. EX models get 127 VTEC-inspired horsepower at 6,600 rpm, and the HX Coupe uses an economical VTEC-E engine with 115 horsepower at 6,300 rpm. The most common variety has an output of 106 horsepower at 6,200 rpm. Three different versions of a 1.6-liter, SOHC four-cylinder aluminum engine are available on the Civic. HX Coupes remain the only model to have available the continuously variable transmission, making it the most technologically interesting Civic offered. A grille was tacked on up front, sheet metal contours provide a squarish profile, and larger rear taillamps give the Civic a more conservative look.ĭual airbags are part of the package, with antilock brakes standard on EX Sedan and Coupe models equipped with an automatic transmission. Available in hatchback, sedan and coupe body styles, Honda heeded customers who claimed the 1992-1995 Civic was too sporty-looking. 1996 brought us a new generation certainly improved but not so much so that we'd consider it revolutionary. Since then, Americans have seen six generations of the Civic come and go, each much improved over the previous model, and each becoming immensely popular with consumers. The producers of these defunct dinosaurs didn't bat an eye at Honda's fuel-sipping entry, despite the fuel crisis of 1973. It was a small, anonymous, unassuming car, competing in a market saturated by mammoth sedans sporting ornate chrome, garish styling treatments and acres of sheet metal. More than two decades ago, Honda introduced the Civic.
