1996 Honda Civic CX Hatchback review from North America
"A totally reliable car for a minimum of 5 years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's window got stuck; left horn button is dead; and the check engine light has been on for 2 years; otherwise, it happily starts every morning.
General comments?
This car was painless until year 5 (when the warranty wore out). After that, the car started to need the big ticket repairs. I spent >nothing< on repairs for the first 5 years. Not bad.
