Hi Dan,

We're assuming that you mean the 'new' Civic that was launched that year - the space-age looking one? If so then the answer is very reliable.

The steering system can give issues and some owners have reported a problem where the steering warning light comes on and all power assistance is lost. Handbrakes can also be a bit fiddly and watch for stone chips or paint damage as rust can get in where the bare metal is uncovered.

Other than that they're a safe buy
