I currently personally own a 1995 Honda Civic LX 4-door sedan and so far, it has served me well and has averaged at roughly 30 mpg, given these times of such volatile fuel prices!

Anyway, in concurrence with a previously posted remark, I find the steering wheel "slow in response" for an automobile that is reputed to be having power steering. I believe that it should be more fluid in control and turning!

Overall, the Honda 1995 Civic I possess is already standing out to be one of the best cars I have ever purchased.

Thanks.

I also have a 1995 Honda Civic LX, 4 doors, Auto, 1.5L engine (no V-Tec).

The car is overheating; I checked everything, but the car still overheating, and the antifreeze becomes so hot to the point it evaporates. I tried to bleed the car for 20 minutes, but after that time air bubbles were still appearing... what's wrong??

One of the best cars I have ever had and have. I am comparing it to BMW 3, Honda Civic 2000 and up, 3000 GT, 2003 Mustang GT, MR2, 2002 Accord, 2002 Merc. 320.

To sum it all up. Great gas mileage, easy to fix, not that I had to, cheap to drive, it's the best car ever. With car like this, there is no need for $30,000 hybrids -- WHY?

1995 Honda Civic DX 1.5

Summary:

Great economy car with room to tune into a fast street machine

Faults:

Needs a new exhaust (probably because of the previous owner.

Rear Seat door handle broken, seems to be a problem with this car.

General Comments:

4/13/07 4pm: Bought car, brought it in for oil change and fuel injection clean.

4/13/07 10pm: Crashed it.

4/13/07 12am: Was driving it around town like nothing happened.

Basically, the crash was a 3 car pile up. My car was sandwiched in between a Lexus and a Toyota, and only my car received damage. Of course... I would expect that. You would think the civic was a tin-can, but that's not the case. This car is a tough little guy. The hood is bent, and the rear bumper is cracked a little bit... that's all. Anyways, later that night I was still driving around like nothing happened. I drive it still with absolutely no problem and I will continue to till I get the hood repaired :) This is my first car and it's a great first car. Civics are great little machines.

Things I don't like...

The interior isn't that great, looks cheap. And this is the DX model, which means it's even worse. This isn't enough to stop me from buying this car though!

Change the oxygen sensor. My VX gets 52-59 MPG most of the time, and as high as 66 MPG. Make sure to get the wideband O2 sensor. They are pricey, but you can find one for $99 instead of the $460 that most places charge. Gassavers.org has a thread that tells you a place to purchase the oxygen sensor for cheap.

1995 Honda Civic LX (4 door sedan)

Summary:

The "Energizer Bunny" of cars, it keeps going and going and..

Faults:

Nothing much to report.

I have changed the brakes, I think, twice so far.

Had to have the starter replaced today (first time since I owned it).

No other major things to replace aside from regular maintenance.

General Comments:

*** GOOD ***

This is just one super reliable car with great gas mileage and great spunk.

It likes to fly off the line (almost too much so) when you hit the gas. Sometimes I can red-line it to 7,000 rpms when hitting the gas hard, if I don't watch myself carefully.

I love the dashboard layout and design. I wish newer cars would mimic it.

*** BAD ***

My only real complaint is I would like to get a larger car next time since its not really great to haul stuff in, but what can you expect when the car was designed to be small and nimble. One advantage to this is I can park almost anywhere even if cars on either side are parked over the line... I can normally squeeze in.

The shifting between gears (this is an automatic) is somewhat jerky, but you get used to it.

Lastly, the power steering is still pretty stiff and I would recommend a good steering wheel cover. I have found that helps a lot and you get used to it pretty quick.

*** Conclusion ***

Otherwise, an overall great car that I can't recommend enough. All of my complaints are pretty minor.

I think I will go for the slightly larger Accord next time.

I'm sorry, but no Civic LX with automatic revs to 7000 rpm.
