1989 Honda Civic Base review from North America
"This is a wonderful car to have"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch was replaced at 140,000 miles by the previous owner.
Driver seat wore out and has been replaced at 280,000 miles.
General comments?
My, Honda Civic, has been the best car that I could ever own.
Other than the wear and tear of a car near 300,000 miles... The car still needs just regular maintenance.
