[net.auto] Information requested on Honda Civic

steve@micomvax.UUCP (01/21/85)

I am thinking of purchasing a Honda Civic S 3 door hatchback. Does anyone
out there have any information on this car. I would certainly appreciate
hearing from anyone who currently owns one. In particular I am interested
in handling, power, gas mileage and any other comments, good or bad.

Thank you

I had a Honda Civic for two years and the car has made me a permanent
Honda buyer.  I got over 35 MPG in the city and found that I could carry
more in that lil' Honda than in my (previous) Ford Granada.  I now am on
my second Honda - Accord LX - and am still sold.

My only caveat on the Civic is that the road noise and vibrations on long
trips can get to be a bother.  But the road handling and acceleration were
good.

I've had one for about seven months.  I like it a lot.  It's little
and light and quick and feels not unlike a sports car.  Gas mileage
is reasonable (28 start/stop, mid-40s highway).  I'm not crazy about
the Honda radio.  The shift linkage is ok, but not really sharp.
I'd buy it again if I had the choice.
