1989 Honda Civic DX review from North America

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The clutch had to be replaced at 190,000 miles. Extreme vibration of the steering wheel occurs when applying the brakes. The rotors probably need to be replaced. The AC Compressor went out at 185,000 miles.

General comments?

After 200,000 miles the car still runs great. It still has plenty of pep and the engine sounds great.
