1988 Honda Civic Hatchback review from North America
"A very quick little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far, nothing has gone wrong with the car.
General comments?
I bought it from a friend who bought the car in '88. It was just routinely taken care of, and never abused more than burn-outs. Compared to my last car, this is heaven.
If you find a car like this in good condition, I seriously recommend you buy it. I only bought the car because my brother had an '88 Civic DX hatchback, and said it was the best car he has ever owned.
