1992 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"Best car I have ever owned, hands down"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Distributor Cap replaced twice, computer board had to be replaced (I think that an after-market cruise control caused it).
Both front CV joints had to be replaced.
The LCD in the radio failed and I replaced the radio rather than having it repaired.
As far as I can remember, that is the extent of the repairs.
General comments?
I believe that the 110 hp rating was a gross understatement, I was driving on I-95 one afternoon and needed to get out of the way of traffic, I didn't even down shift and it went from 70 to 100 mph and still climbing in a flash! Very good handling and the hatchback would carry almost anything!
