1999 Acura 1.6 EL review from North America
"A pretty Civic (basically)!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear struts leaked.
Oil leak.
Passenger front seat would not move, had to replace the seat track.
Starting problem. Needed new cap and rotor! Old technology for something that has V-TEC!
I though the tires wore prematurely.
General comments?
Lots of fun!
Great 5-speed manual!
Only available in Canada, so it has some exclusivity!
Handles very well.
Good fuel economy.
Very nice for long-distance driving (which I do a lot of).
