2000 Honda Civic CX Hatchback review from North America
"The worst purchase I have ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sealing on the doors had to be replaced.
The wrong size pistons were put in the car when it was manufactured. The engine was rebuilt at 19,000 km.
Difficult to get the key out of the ignition when the car is in park.
The Crank pulley came off while driving. The crank is damaged as well as the bearings. This happened at 42,000 km.
The engine always makes a pinging noise.
General comments?
This car is very unreliable.
The engine is always making pinging noises.
Basically, the car is a serious lemon.
