1998 Honda Civic Si review from North America
"A big piece of garbage that should be driven off a cliff"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlight broke.
Seats ripped apart.
Floor fell off.
Exhaust came apart.
Gas pedal stuck (which almost killed me).
Brakes went out (same time as above).
Paint chipped everywhere.
Taillight fell apart.
Honda emblems fell also.
General comments?
I wouldn't buy this car if you paid me. I traded my Mustang Cobra for this thing and I was depressed when I popped the hood to see a pathetic 4 cylinder engine that only boasted 140hp. This car is horrible at everything. Yeah, it's good on gas mileage, but who cares. Please, all of you teenagers hoping to buy a car that you can "pimp" out. Please buy something else besides a Honda/Acura.
