Buying Guide - Honda Civic Es1 2002

[Madhawa007]

Hi All,

I am new to this forum and let me make it a chance to thank all of you for your valuable contribution

I am planning to buy a Honda Civic ES1 YOM 2002 and this is my first car. Please advice me on the below points

1. Fuel efficiency

2. Maintenance cost

3. Planning to buy around 2.25m. Is it worth the money? Or do I have the option to bargain more

4. Are there any specific areas which I need to consider when buying a ES1?

Thanks a lot

ES1/8 cvt model is very efficient.  I owned an ES8 for 2 years and it gave me above 15kmpl long run. Dont go for non evts,  they are thirstier than cvt

check whether CVT oil change history,  need to do it in every 15000km. cost would be about 7500-8000/=

Check CVT box before buying.  If gear engagement is delayed in cold start, or floor it and check if it jerks too much.  Minimal jerky acceleration should be acceptable
