1991 Honda Civic DX review from North America

One high-beam doesn't function.

Hatch struts gave out (normal).

Some issues with the locks.

Ignition is funky.

Parking brake is a non-factor.

Holes worn through seat fabric.

Moderate sun-fading of body and fabric.

Some fabric is falling apart.

Not sure if the rear window defroster works.

This is a 1991 Honda Civic DX hatchback with a 1993 Honda Civic engine. Haven't had the car long, but I've driven it enough to learn a bit about it.

My Honda is probably one of the smallest, lowest to the ground cars I've ever driven in. THIS THING FEELS LIKE A GO-KART WITH EXTRA "GO".

My Honda or "Thunderfury" as I like to call it is my first car, and I think it has some excellent features for a first time car owner;

Reliable.

Reasonably comfortable.

Not bad looking.

And it has just enough get-up-and-go.

Additionally, this being the DX model, it's the most bare bones thing you can imagine. So there's very little to break. It has power nothing. Not even the stereo (The after market stereo that was in it at purchase is broken). My dad calls the car "Manuel" pronounced "Manwell" because everything is manual.

The only major this that is wrong with the car (knock on wood) is the parking brake. This is pretty lame because it's a standard.

Plenty of room in the back for stuff.

It seems to be extremely quiet in the cabin, no wind noise at all.
