Description

Full service history (mostly Honda), heated leather seats (for the Geoffs), 1.8 petrol 6 speed manual, pan roof/elec blind, 4x EW, ABS, TRC, reach and rake steering wheel with stereo controls, Cruise, Climate control, flexible rear seats (up as well as flat), good tyres. New rear chassis by MOT station, everything works except AC. Averages 49mpg or 58 on a motorway run at 60, yet surprisingly quick. Comes with bluetooth stereo connection (streambot). Recent tracking. Reliable, cheap to run, cheap on parts (whole rear chassis new with bushes £150), bought to see me through a rough patch as these civics are just the best cars for frugal owners (my 3rd), but if you know Honda, it has to have a full history if you want it reliable. Mechanically excellent, cosmetically challenged, bit like me. And that is a capri under the cover and yes that will be going up next.
