Hi, I had a diesel ep2 Civic. Very economical. Was easy to insure and gave very little bother. I put a clutch into it at about 90000 miles but other than that it was normal wear and tear. Dont know anything about the petrols sorry. I would recommend the diesel version but maybe it's not what you're after. Good luck..

The petrols have good reliable engines but the cars themselves are no where near as reliable as the previous model. Power steering issues and rack failures are all too common and can be costly to put right.

Gearbox bearing gives bother on some variants too.
