1992 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"The 1992 Civic dx hatchback is the best car I have owned for under $2,500!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Body rust around rear wheel openings was a problem, so I had bodywork done to repair the quarter panels.
The radiator fins began falling out and getting caught in the electric fan. Though the radiator didn't leak I replaced it with a new one.
My front brakes were worn, so I replaced them with high-performance aftermarket parts.
General comments?
My Civic is an amazing car. It is efficient, powerful, dependable, and it handles well.
To increase its safety, I installed B.F. Goodrich Comp TA tires, mounted on 14" steel wheels, with "SI" style wheel covers.
I added window tint, vent shades, a Momo shift knob and a Grant steering wheel styling ring.
