Why do you love Honda's?

[Uncle John]

And I'm saying that after a breakdown... now (fingers crossed) fixed.

Me?

I love the intuative design, the usability and above all the outstanding engines.

You?

[Heathwood]

Bought mine initially for the legendary engineering

Still got it because of the legendary reliability

[Civil_to_a_point]

8200 rpm

[tumbleweed]

vtec pure and simple

[peterperkins]

100mpg

[pbirkett]

Well I love mine due to its mix of handling, speed, noise, rawness, reliability, practicality, looks and running costs.

However, I doubt I'd feel the same way about a 1.4 Civic somehow

[fido]

well-engineered, but without the bling factor of a beemer, or c0ck factor of an Audi.
slightly cool in an uncool way.

[TaylotS2K]

I love mine for the looks, reliabilty and you don't see too many about compared to the Z4 and Boxster.

[SkinnyBoy]

I just love them, 90's honda's were their finest models.

When was the last time they made a car as sexy as this!

You might be surprised - a pre-2000 1.4 Civic is so far ahead of any other 1.4 cars of its era, and arguably anything today, it would tick most of those boxes too.

The prelude is a fine car but the s2000 and NSX are better looking.

Value for money.

To get the same performance with reliability in another marque, you'd need to spend double.

Totally agree mate, but look at their current line up, compared to the days when Honda made really desirable cars. Yeah a jap spec Civic Type R is cool, but compared to the old EK version, its kind of second best.

Saw a 1991 Honda NSX yesterday, stock but immaculate, everyone turned their heads it still looks so damn good!

The UK Civic Type R although a great car to drive, looks like a turtle on 19" rims!

^^It's the same story with all Japanese manufacturers...the glory days of the 90's is long gone. I could happily own all performance cars from 90's Japan...but would think twice about modern day.

[Yugguy]

Dunno what new ones are like as I have only had a 1999 Honda, an Accord, but it is the most logically designed and easy to work on car I have ever had, and parts don't seem to cost any more than Ford or VX ones, at least for stuff like filters/pads/disks.

[ferrisbueller]

Honda's what?

I loved my 2000 "EK3" 1.4 Civic, it was a fantastic car, did the jobs I wanted it to, got me from A to B via C very safely. I was sad to see it go but life goes on.

Really? Pretty good car IME. And thought of highly by all the magazines at the time. What didn't you like about it?
