1990 Honda Civic Base model review from North America
"Looks like a pile of crap, but out performs the Geo's"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My clutch went out because of letting a friend drive to the store, only $500 worth of damage. Other than that, the leather (if that) seats have worn down and cracked, and the end of my exhaust fell off, but now has a nice full exhaust sound to it.
General comments?
For having a small 1.5 I4 and 200,000+ miles, it still has potential to go 120 MPH. I just recommend not getting the base model as I did, no AC or power options. The seats are pretty comfortable, but could be better.
