1989 Honda Civic CX review from North America
"An economic small car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car doesn't start when it too hot, the engine turns but it seems that no fuel comes in, so I have to wait a couple of minutes before the car wants to start.
I bought the car in 1998 and I have changed the muffler three times.
The gas pedal stays jammed and I have to bring it back with my foot, so the car turns 2000-2500 RPM when I'm stop. I replaced the clutch six months ago and I don't want to replace it again.
It's a Civic Hatchback and the trunk cylinders don't work good when it's cold outside.
General comments?
This car is not bad anyway, I never had to tow this car and it always start, at least after five minutes.
It costs me about 25 Canadian dollars of gas to go 550km, it's very cheap.
This car is also good in traffic.
