1990 Honda Civic Si Hatchback review from North America
"A very good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator went and tried to fix it myself (big mistake), you have to take the left front axle off to get it out of the engine compartment.
Gas tank began to leak, was replaced.
Distributor rotor went twice in two weeks.
Finally called it quits when some valve springs got loose.
Burn two quarts a week.
General comments?
For the km and how I drove it, this car is probably the best manufactured car on the market. I would get one just like it in a heart beat, although I will probably get one with A/C.
