1988 Honda Civic LX review from North America
"Great car and was just fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems with car. It was 20 years old but ran great. The heat didn't work but I bought it like that. And since it was spring/summer I never replaced the heater blower. It died out once and that was because I left the lights on. Other than that, the car was good. There was rust on a quarter panel but it was less than an inch big. Couldn't even notice it.
General comments?
Great gas mileage. Good thing because gas was over $4 a gallon. I could put $15 in and last all week, driving it everyday back and forth to work.
I had some 2000 Si wheels, tinted windows, lowered, mugen steering wheel, Aem intake, and window visors. Car was old but looked really good.
