1992 Honda Civic ESi review from Singapore
"A petrol Dracula"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air-con not reliable.
Rubber linings came off.
Tyre alignments get shifted easily.
Cam head is very prone to dust and rust.
Drinks petrol like water, very thirsty.
Cooler fan electrical connection always face problems.
Radiator overheats on hot days.
General comments?
A remarkably fast car considering that it is only 1.6.
The SOHC system works very well with the VITEC distruptor switch.
The pick up speed can further be improved.
A cheap version of Sir model.
