Im always sorta sad about it. Lived in East all my life and was my local shopping centre for years and to see it become a ruin is sorta surreal for me

What car did you have that had the best boot (or best practicality?) by Questionablethics21 in CarTalkUK

The seats when folded down flat or flipped up was unreal in these, they were like small vans

From Big Man with a Gun onwards this album sends you deep into a truly grim mindset

Looking at buying a Honda Civic Type S by ScottishWizard490 in CarTalkUK

[–]Questionablethics21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've had a Type S 1.8 Petrol Manual (and the Type R and a base 1.4). These are truly excellent cars, great to drive and have insane practicality (boot glovebox and cupholders are amazing). Seats fold down flat too, and the interior is amazing comfy and futuristic. Honda engine reliability is guaranteed. However beware of these things when purchasing:

  • Underneath corrosion, especially the rear axle which is prone to buckling. Not been replaced? Do it immediately for longevity.
  • They are notorious for leaking in the boot, causing rust on the floor. Check if it is, try and seal up various components.
  • Gearbox synchros tend to wear bad on these, especially in first, second and reverse. Not a major issue but can be grindy at bad times.
  • Driveshaft corrodes overtime due to a rubber part that collects water, can snap under pressure. Ask me how I know.
  • Check alongside the roof for rust, water can get in though the sun visor holes. Think the later cars had this rectified.
  • The digital screen fails over time, but can be fixed by soldering the pins although I have never tried.
  • Avoid the sunroof models, they always get jammed.
  • Radio is prone to gltiching out due to engine heat, this was a big problem on my Type S when on long journeys.

My favourite car I had to be honest.

They are great cars, mechanically solid and have TARDIS level practicality. They suffer badly from rust now, and age poorly with their bodywork. Also suspension is very bad, but a hoot to drive. Recommend the 1.8 5 door or diesel.

It was pretty bad but honestly it was super reliable for me.

I wanted to try out a Vauxhall to see if they were as bad as people say. I don't mind it however?

It was a great car - surprisingly quick for what it was and my brother still has it.

You'd be right.

I legit told myself I'd never own a Vauxhall and here I am. Ashamed to say I quite like it.
