2008 Honda Civic DX-A review from North America
"Reliability is not everything"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not a thing.
General comments?
Reliable but absolutely not comfortable.
My young sons love it as it is definitely made for them, if you take the look and the design of the body and digitalized dashboard.
This tiny car is only good for fuel economy and a good means of transportation, but if I want to go on vacation, I will definitely not in any way take this car. It's too hard on my old body and ears.
I wanted to do like many have told me. But after months of owning this car, I think I will sell it to one of my sons, who will enjoy this little tiny uncomfortable car, and I'll buy a big American car like I use to have, even knowing they are less reliable but enjoyable. I am a real car lover, not an user.
