General Comments:

This car has been extremely reliable and trouble-free.

The maintenance and fuel economy have been more than expected.

The exterior size has been perfect for parking. At the same time, the interior has been spacious enough for all my needs.

Faults:

Put in a carb kit twice, it had some hesitation, this fixed the problem. Each kit cost around $20.00.

Put on a new front axle for about $60.00.

Put in a new timing belt for about $150.00.

New alternator for About $45.00.

Seats started looking bad around the 250000 km mark give or take a year, so I bought some seat covers.

General Comments:

This car is still running fine today under another owner. It was a great little car that just never stops going. I took it everywhere, from going to work, to going to the mountains for a holiday. The car never let me down once.

I traded it in on a Chevrolet Blazer and regretted it almost instantly. The blazer cost me more money in 3 months the the Civic did in 3 years. I loved that car and am going to buy my son one for his first car. If you have one, keep it. If you want one, buy it.

Faults:

Being 20 years old of course it's very beat up and worn out.

Body work is still OK - a little rust

Back seat is ripped up

Water pump needed replacing at 275000k's other wise no major problems in 20 years!

Old and tired.

General Comments:

I got this car when it was 21 years old and it still goes! It has obvious faults with age, but for an old small engined car it runs surprisingly well. Shame I couldn't get one when it was new. It may not look like much now, but it just keeps running and running despite it's age. It is also VERY economical and cheap to run. It is still going even though every part of it is original. But of course it is on it's last legs.
