1989 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"A great deal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew at 125,000 miles. Cost $500 to replace, besides that it has been great.
General comments?
The seats are hard as rock.
Cannot move the steering wheel up or down, not a car for tall people.
I love my Honda DX and I plan to keep this car until it dies.
