1994 Honda Civic LX review from North America

Radiator went around 117500 miles.

The lights on the heat/ac controls went out.

The muffler rusted off.

This car is a bullet on wheels, it can take a serious beating and still deliver. I got the car, and a few hundred miles after, while going slightly too fast on a dirt road, I went off the road, plowing over 2 wood fence poles and catching a bit of air. Amazingly the front bumper was still in one piece and only pushed out the corners on the sides of the car, which is easily fixed with 2 screws. After getting a tow out, I drove around and realized that everything was great still.

Radiator went and the heat gauge got well past the H before I got home (close enough and it was 2am so). Had to go buy a new one and hope that nothing was wrong, cause it got real real hot. So we slide in a new radiator, hook it up and it works fantastic still. It runs just as good as it did the day I got it.

Muffler rusted out on the pipe, age related fixed easily should hold till I need a whole new pipe.

Overall this is a fantastic car, no issues that aren't expected of a 14 year old car really. Hopes are to run this through college until I can afford a new car, and there's no reason it can't happen.

It drives fantastic through corners, brakes are pretty good, acceleration is acceptable depending on what you're trying to do; it loves everything but uphill is my rule of thumb.

Great little car though, no complaints other than it requires gas to go, thankfully it's great on that too.
