1996 Honda Civic review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lots of things - CV joints, the head gasket cracked.
General comments?
I'm very disappointed, I bought this car cause everyone bragged about how they were so good, and to think I traded my Festiva in on this thing!
