What do u guys think ? :)

[BREMBO]

I'm sure some of you can rember me posting a thread a couple of weeks ago about what kinda car I should maybe consider trying to get. Well I have just been on autotrader and came across a 96 Honda Civic 1.5 with a VTEC engine, I really like it , however its clocked with 109, 921. Pretty sure I could get the price down more. Its at £1,299 at the moment :S
But just wondering what everybodys opinion is on it... good or bad, I would like to know ?


Here is the thread http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/cars_search.asp?modelexact=1&lid=search_used_cars_full&make=HONDA&model=CIVIC&variant=&keywords=&min_pr=75&max_pr=3000&mileage=0&agerange=0&postcode=EH4+5LB&miles=40&max_records=50&source=0&photo=1&sort=3&ukcarsearch_full=SEARCH

Its the 5th one down (the grey 1).

Thanks, Ben.

Also how much BHP do u think it has ?

 

[Laura]

its chaved up to the MAX!
i say if you want VTEC get a CRX 1.6 DOHC Vtec
pick ur up for about 2k, plus faster than alot of cars

 

[BREMBO]

Hardly "chaved" up, if it had a f*k off bodykit or something fair enuff, and the seat covers are shocking and floor mats, but easily changed.

Errrrm, yeah.

 

[BREMBO]

How is it chaved up ?

take a look at your title.. you asked what we thought.. that is my opinion.
if its got those seat covers, etc it tells me it was owner by a young lad whos probably thrashed it, its got a lot of miles for it to be thrashed

 

[BREMBO]

Fair enuff, but the seat covers can easily be taken off, the car above it, is "chaved" up

 

[sh33n]

The car isn't chavved up at all, in fact it looks quite tidy for the milage.

It's not a VTEC engine, and all I know about pre-vtec honda's is don't get one, apparently very poor performance, etc; but that's just 3rd hand info, never owned one or even been in one.

If you can, try and stretch to a VTEC engine.

Good luck.

Edit: just realised it is a VTEC engine, my bad.

 

[BREMBO]

Lol thanks sh33n, I also agree it isn't chaved up. I really like it

 

[BREMBO]

Does anybody no how much bhp it will have ?

 

[Ali]

Echo the above, looks decent enough. Honda's go on and on.

 

[sh33n]

Might find it here:

[BREMBO]

That page doesn't seem to open, but I tried looking into it, believe its about 115bhp, this sound about right ?

 

[Mark J]

nah, thats not chavved up at all mate, looks fine!

 

[Fred@BTM]

those engines are ok, sohc about 100bhp IIRC, they sound quite cool

 

[Englebert]

Well...Max Power style seat covers and matts. Plus Type R badges and 'Powered by Honda' (duh) on the window. Pretty chav to me!

Hardly chaved up when you look at the cars in the link above!!!

 

[BREMBO]

lol ^ now thats chaved up

 

[bmh.01]

Looks OK to me hardly chavved up, its probably the 1.5 e-VTEC engine and there about 100bhp as far as I know. Being a honda the miles shouldn't be a problem as there generally pretty bulletproof engines. A friends got one same year not sure about the miliage but hes had it a few years and its seen plenty of (ab)use its never gone wrong once.

 

[BREMBO]

Thanks bmh.01, think I might try and have a look at it.
