Civic Integra CRX Concerto Prelude Accord Aerodeck Legend S2000 NSX CR-V HR-V Shuttle
Jazz Supermini imported between 1984-85. A reliable town car, with a good 1250cc engine. Rare to find one now.
Civic (to 1984) Elderly Supermini, the newer Civics are generally bigger. Bodies are not prone to rust as much as similarly aged cars.
Civic (1984-87) A lot of these were owned by careful private owners, so a lot of this generation are good examples. Shuttle generally has more space.
Civic
(1987-91) 3 door hatchback and 5 door shuttle estate. Above average
rust resistance, nippy and economical engines, with Honda reliability.
Civic
(1991-95) Bigger and better than previous generations, reliable and
willing engines, ESi and VTi performance is reflected in insurance premium.
Civic
(1995-on)The first full range of Civics, including 3,4, 5 door and
'lifestyle' estate (aerodeck) Willing engines are predictably reliable.
Integra
5 door family hatchback, 1.6 engine is brisk, car is generally
reliable. Not to be confused with..
Integra Type-R Scorching race bred stripped out sports coupe with one of Hondas advanced V-Tech engines. A drivers car!
CRX
(1984-92) Little 2+2 with excellent performance and 'limpet'
handling. Rear seats are OK for small kids, or a suitcase.
CRX
(1992-97) Targa topped, improved performance, and definitely a 2
seater, the VTi is even hotter than the ESi.
Concerto Practical family hatchback and saloon, sharing a common ancestry with the Rover 2/400 series. Extremely reliable, and the 1.6i engine is quite nippy. Rover derivative is more common.
Prelude
(1983-92) 2 door, 4 seat coupe liked by the more mature driver. This
equates to plenty of well kept survivors about. Regular servicing
avoids costly cambelt and consequential crackshaft damage. One of the
few cars available with 4 wheel steering.
Prelude
(1992-96) Sporty 2+2 coupe, a nice drive, but small kids only in the
back! Reliable, excellent engines, especially the V-Tech unit.
Prelude
(1997 on) A more conservative styling than it's predecessor, Honda
maintain their superb engines with an excellent chassis. 2.2 VTi
epitomes the wolf in sheeps clothing.
Accord
(1985-89) Aerodeck (1986-89) An upper medium saloon and
'lifestyle' estate derivative, they have few reliability competitors
in class.
Accord
& Aerodeck (1989-94) Moved in to the executive class this
one is bigger than the car it supersedes. Makes a good, larger,
comfortable family car.

Coupe, and Aerodeck (1994-98) Sister to Rovers acclaimed 600
series, the car offers a generally refined ambiance.

standards in reliability, safety, and value. Equipment levels are
excellent for class.

(1986-91) Spacious and comfortable upmarket saloon. Refined engine in
a car that led to the Rover 800

Legend
(1991 on) Prestige executive refined car. Rare in the UK as other
marques took market share based on badge rather than value. A good,
spacious executive saloon.
S2000 (1999 on) Somewhat a bargain against notable rivals like the Boxster Both quicker and cheaper than most, it is backed by Hondas extremely reliable V-Tech engine.
NSX (1991 on) If you are looking for one of these you don't need a picture. Hondas entry in to the supercar league at far less cost than the Ferraris and Porches it competes with. Honda reliability prevails, the car is a drivers dream, probably the biggest problem is finding one for sale!
CR-V
(1997 on) 4x4 family estate, bigger than a RAV4, and nearly as
spacious as a Discovery, but without attendant running costs.
HR-V (1999 on) 4x4 hatchback aimed at a younger market. Refined road manners for type, and more desirable than others in class.
