1995 Honda Civic

Trim: Si
by UncleDom on 10-20-2012
Decent 2 door coupe
Ownership - 2 years

Roomy enough to seat 4 adults, but also have the capacity to seat 5(2 adults in the front and 3 kids in the back). The engine is a 1.6L SOHC, out put was 125hp, paired with a manual transmission was enough around town, and ok on the highway, is no pocket rocket for sure, but will get good fuel economy(average 9L/100km city+hwy). Interior and Exterior design is a bit dated compared to current generation of vehicles, but it's functional. The Civic got great Honda reliability, doing the regular maintenance will ensure the car last a long time.

1999 Honda CR-V

Very reliable small SUV
Ownership - 2 years and still going

This is a surprisingly roomy small SUV, I had no problem fitting a washer in the back, so it will have no problem seating 5 people in the car comfortably. It comes with a 2.0L DOHC In-line 4 engine, so it is just barely enough for this SUV. The fuel economy average about 10km/L, which is city and highway combined. Interior and exterior is just functional, and it will never win any beauty award, but it makes up for it with reliability where similar class SUV will not be able to compete.

1996 Honda Prelude

Trim: SRV
by UncleDom on 10-15-2012
Fun and exciting, sacrifice comfort and space
Ownership - 3 years

This was the best FUN FF car I had with all the Honda cars I owned in many years, I always wanted this model the SRV because I like the look of it and the fact Honda designed this car to be the best handling FF car at the time. I really does deliver when it comes down to it. You will get a 190hp 2.2L DOHC VTEC engine, close ratio 5spd gear box, 4 wheel disc brake, and Honda's double wish bone suspension on all four corners. The interior design was way ahead of it's time, with digital dash strenching the width of the front. The exterior was a lower wide body styling. The only downside to all this was lack of space in the back seats(more like dog seats), and fuel economy is not the greatest, but who drives a sport coupe for great gas mileage??

1994 Acura Integra

Trim: RS
by UncleDom on 10-15-2012
Solid commuter car
Ownership - 1 year

Bought this integra to commute to college. I was car pooling with 2 other classmates, all full size adults and it can get a little bit tight, but still enough room and comfort for 2hrs on the road each day. I drove the manual transmission model, it had enough power on or off the highway, but don't expect it to have the power of a V6 or V8 car, it is after all only 4 cylinders, but that's also the bonus when it comes to fuel economy, it won't cost much. Looks on the interior and exterior is just average, but it sure looks dated compared to some of the new cars of today. Reliability also shines a bit because it is a Honda after all.

1999 Honda Civic

Trim: SiR
by UncleDom on 10-15-2012
Very fun FF coupe
Onwership - 5 years and still going

The comfort in this car is just like the other civic models, which isn't too bad. But where it shines is the engine, a 1.6L DOHC VTEC paired with a close ratio 5spd manual, this was THE tuner car back in the days, and it still is to this day, it can still hold it's own weight with little or no modification. The fuel economy suffers a little compared to the lower model civics because of the close ratio gear box, but it's still no gas guzzler. Honda did design the interior and exterior of this model to be a little stand out from the lower models, which I find to be quite nice. Reliablility is very Honda, nothing to worry about.

Good Solid Car
Ownership - 7 years

This was my first new car, it didn't disappoint me one bit, the car was able to seat 5, and very comfortable if it was 2 adults and 3 children. The power was lacking a bit, since the engine was a 10 year old design (SOHC VTEC) which didn't get much improvement, but the weight of the car got heavier, so there was a lack of performance. I once got +700km(mostly highway) out of 45liters of fuel, so it was great on gas. I find the interior design was average at the time, but the exterior was a nice change from the older rounder civics. It was a very reliable car, I did regular service and the engine had +200k on it and it still felt like the day I bought the car.
