1994 Honda Civic EX review from North America
"Best car ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The biggest problem I have is with rust; the darn thing is rusting everywhere, so go to Florida (or somewhere with no salt) to avoid this.
The exhaust seems to rust out every 2 years. Besides that, all I've had to replace are the radiator, distributer cap, and the A/C, which was broken when I bought it.
This car is resiliant and more reliable than many newer cars.
General comments?
Pros: Highly reliable and attractive looking car. I got a black coupe with tinted windows, a Vtec engine, and a 5 speed for $3,200.00, and thought I was the luckiest man alive.
I'm about to graduate from college and thought of upgrading to a BMW or Mercedes, but I don't think I could let the car go. It's no Porsche, but it can keep up with traffic easily.
I love the exhaust tone and the interior is classy and still contemporary. The car looks new to this day, and people have asked if it's a 2001.
The mileage is the best part, and I can get everywhere without losing half of my pay cheque at the pump.
For value, a '92-'95 Civic will look good, perform well, and is cheap.
