1994 Honda Civic EX review from North America
"Great entry level first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cheap factory speakers deteriorated in 2001. That's it! A wonderful little vehicle!
General comments?
Excellent reliability. It did not break even once. It may be underpowered (doesn't go like a Ferrari), but does very well compared to other 4 cyl. automatic vehicles that are not sporty.
I had lots of fun driving the little vehicle, especially during my high school and early college years. You can parallel, zip-zap, back park the car sooo EASILY in the tiniest space.
And Civic doesn't break, it seems... with routine filter/oil change. And gas wise, my automatic car did 35/39 mpg. Awesome. And beautiful finish for 94 model civic.
