1994 Honda Civic LX review from North America
"One hell of a good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator went bad at 239000.
Had to buy a new heater core.
No air conditioner.
Had to buy new water pump and timing belt.
General comments?
This has to be the best car I've ever owned. It's the most reliable car I think I've ever driven or ridden in.
The heater core was VERY difficult to put in. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most difficult, definitely a 9, and had to buy new water pump because of weak antifreeze; it made it form a chunk of ice in the water pump and just tore it up..
The dash dimmer switch has a short in it.. and the heat guard for the catalytic converter rusted off, and I have a rust spot above the rear left tire, and a slight leak in the trunk, but other than those few minor problems, it's great car for 241000 miles. I'd say it has another 100000 miles to go, if not more.
