1980 Honda Civic 5 speed base model review from North America
"I love my 1980 Honda Civic Wagon, wish I owned 5 of them!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
General wear and tear for a 24 year old car. Things replaced in the 4 years I've owned it. Both front axles, water pump, radiator hoses, front and rear brakes. Things that need to be done, seats replaced or re-furbished. I can't really say "things that have gone wrong" it really has been nothing major.
General comments?
This little car with it's little engine, has get up and go like an old dog being taught some new tricks. I paid $1000 for it in 1-2000 and have spent maybe $1000 towards parts and whatnot. I could not ask for a better used car. I would buy another "Japanese Honda" in a heartbeat!
