1986 Honda Civic 4 door sedan review from North America
"Fun cool looking car. But.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I paid $500 for the car when my first car died and needed a car to go back and fourth to school and work. when I first got the car I had to replace the entire brake system which was 800 bucks. Car would stall and stutter and would not start back up several times. we have a feeling it is the carburetor and don't know if it is worth fixing. I love this car but it is extremely un reliable. I was on my way to an interview and it died on the L.I.E. exit ramp, very dangerous. I was able to drive it after 30 seconds of waiting but when I did it would not go past 50 and was always stuttering.
General comments?
I enjoy the car it is pretty roomy and would by another newer edition of the civic. I had for about a good year and just can't figure why it stalls.
