Wills!

I am gonna buy a civic type s 1.4 for 6000 Euro soon. Everything I saw about it, makes it a perfect car for me. It has 6 gears (excluding reverse), 5 seats, ample space, a big trunk and a lot of electric amenities. To top it off, it is also very durable and frugal, when it comes to gas consumption.

Missed showing that the rear seats fold up, the under boot floor storage and no spare wheel , rear brakes wear quickly . Also has chain driven camshafts, folding mirrors and mine has a nice panoramic roof glass with a double electric blind and most things in the engine bay are easy to get to .

Had 1.8 petrol ⛽️ no hassle 7 years 152,000 miles will go same again past another MOT again no problems

A very good review, set in and around Brighton and the South Downs (Truleigh Hill in particular). The Civic seems to have a lot going for it, but my only query is RUST. It’s little brother the Jazz is also mechanically bulletproof, but suffers quite badly from chassis rust in later life - up on a hoist, the view underneath often being pretty horrifying. Is the Civic better in this respect?

Check the price today 😢

This is an excellent review. The presenter talks about things which really matter to ordinary drivers not obsessed with toys and image. For people with limited mobility the cabin is very well set out with everything in reach. If looked after, these cars are truly reliable and the looks which seemed 'futuristic' when it first appeared now show the secret of timelessness. This is very rare in today's "samey" world and a touch reminiscent of Citroen in its great times.

Just bought a 2008 civic its got 140'000 on clock the only problem l have with it is it has alloy pedals and very slipery espesily when my shoes are wet on the clutch etc

I want to buy a 2008 but i heard problems like cracks in engineblock and bad controll arms. Should i be worried?

The car is ok but the plastic dash and panels are shit

They are good reliable cars and quite fun to drive too. That said People on social media always seem to exaggerate to fuel economy of the R18 series i-vtec engine. I have owned one of these cars in the recent past and the only time I saw 40 mpg was cruising in 6th at 75 mph. I got it up to about 42 and it's not possible to get it higher than that. Expect about 35-38 mpg combined. Those are my real world figures and I'm not getting paid either. Other than that they are very good cars and if looked after can last a very long time without and expensive issues.

15 years of ownership, 130.000km, absolutely no faults,. Ever. Mine is the TypeS 1.8 and it has absolutely no problem kicking ass on the road, even that of modern cars. All new have gotten pretty fat while this one is 1250 kg and is plenty fast for European oads and driving conditions. Don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon 😁

where was this video filmed? thx

You should use your wing mirrors mate. They're far more important than your rear view mirror.

2:02 the best moment of this video

my biggest complaint with this car is when you buy a parking ticket and place it on the dashboard it can sometimes slide down really far and make it impossible to retrieve, unless you get like a kebab stick or something.

That jingle between sections really grates. Otherwise a calmly presented review. Thxs

5 years on and whats changed is the availability. The cars have gotten 5 years older, thousands of miles worn down, but barely dropped in price. If it was possible to get exactly this car today at 10 years old, 65,000 miles, in good nick and not a write off, would cost you more than £3500. You'd be looking at £5000. And to top it all off, there's hardly any of them for sale anymore meaning you take what you can get rather than spoilt for choice as you were in 2018. This car was a bargain.

I got a facelift 2010 Si but with the slightly anemic 1.4 engine. Still a fantastic runaround and looks modern even today. And that stupid soiler actually blocks headlights of the tailgate behind you 👍

Got 5 months ago Type S GT 59 plate with 1.8 petrol. Great car, just takes a bit of time getting used to but overall bulletproof and stick to the road like it was glued.

What a deal!

Get the 3door type S 2009 and up. Looks way better than the early 5 doors It looks like a type r minus the engine

anyone knows where can i find a part of this card? i have my car same but 2010 here in DUBAI and i cant find materials in any shop. is there online i can order? please help TY so much

we never got this model where i lived but this thing's design has really grown on me

60 mph in 2nd gear, yes please, Jackal and Hyde car , absolutely love it 🥰

i didnt like the Quality of interior on the CIvic 8. It always makes creak sounds, very load after 120km/h (75MPH) but even in city driving noticable. tires get stuck often and the parts are expensive compared to other Manufacturers (atleast in germany). I sold mine altough i loved the design but it had to many issues what i was not expecting as a former Honda (Civic 5&6) user.

Why do you brits get the 8th gen hatchback and americans has to wait 2 gens later for the hatchback to comeback?

Meni spoiler ne smeta! Dapače ugradit ću joj od type R,još veći

Best looking civic of all Civics..

He forgot to mention the rock hard ride, and bone jarring thuds when on bumpier roads, ie, your typical countryside B , or semi A roads. Several years ago I had a lift in a 2010 one of these. My own car at the time was a 2000(W) Peugeot 406 HDI 110. I was quite shocked by how jolty the Civic was over the same patch of road that I often travelled in the 406.

Can anyone help me out with adjusting the clock , I'm stumped ?

k20A engine？？

Beautifully shot video. Really really stylish.

Very stylish!

Great looking car. Only letdown is that rear torsion beam.

XC90/discovery or new touareg? Which would be your pick to have?

Where can i see the other RealWorld reviews

Best spoiler lovely aerodynamics

Thank you for a nice review. I live in Norway and I bought this car one year ago. So far I have not had any problems with it. It's fun and comfortable to drive and feels very safe on the road. The spoiler was at bit annoying in the beginning, but it's not really a big issue for me. Although I do sometimes miss wipers on the rear window. The design is timeless and looks modern even in 2021. All in all just a great car in my opinion.

The maintenance is expensive in this car ? And the parts is easy to find ? Im thinking to buy one now for 1k, the car look good and have 100.000 miles 🤔

Just picked up a 2.0l petrol banger for £800. I'll know once I've driven it a bit but the thing seems sweet at 145k and for the price can't imagine a better deal

I've owned my Civic for nearly a year now, bought it very used and I largely agree with the review. The handling is secure but dull, the power steering offers no feedback and it's generally a fairly boring car to drive but the gear change is nice. There's huge amounts of space, the dash as well as the driving position are nice. You get used to that speedo then find regular dials hard to read on other cars! The engine is very bland, it doesn't sound all that nice but it is good on mpg (40+ if driven sensibly) and it is easy to service. Honda's build quality suffered a bit as the speedo and clock can go wrong due to the sun scorching the PCBs inside over time, the boot seals often leak and you don't know until your boot floor is a small swimming pool, lots of niggling things have gone wrong like one of door straps snapping and one drive shaft exploding. Honda appear to have some weird rubber grommet on their driveshafts which collect water and weakens the metal, the replacement part is solid metal and seems far stronger. However by FAR the worst problem with this Civic is the suspension is frankly rubbish, it's one of the harshest cars I've driven and mine is on Goodyears as well as having the shocks refreshed. You can get used to it but compared to other hatchbacks of it's era, it is a bit too "sporting" in terms of ride. The Focus and Astra are not rivals, they are both trash by 2021. The Toyota Auris is a closer rival as it won't fall apart, the VW Golf maybe but they are over priced. I'm actually fairly close to getting rid of mine in search of a more exciting car.

Can't recommend a 8th Generation Honda Civic 1.8 enough. Looks superb, spacious, sporty and fun to drive and very reliable. The best car I have ever or will ever own.

The back spoiler you see in the rear mirror is not a big issue for me, I can see enough and it has a big advantage specially in the night; it blocks the front lights from the car behind you which will not blind you when looking into the rear mirror.

Brilliant review very informative with a bit of banter!

Incredibly moving. Very appropriate now with the casualties from Covid.too.

Such tranquillity and grace. Love to you all. Diane

Absolutely gorgeous ! What our bodies can do.......best love to all x Sall x

Amazing fluid movements.
