1989 Honda Civic LX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Muffler problems. Have had to replace 4 times in two years.(Thank God for George Foreman!).
Brakes are constantly squeaking...loudly. Good handling.
Subpar acceleration. Timing belt lasted for 100K. Car has appx 135K. No rust, original paint in great condition, easy to drive. A/C coolant has never been replaced and it still blows cold! Go figure.
