1991 Honda Civic review from UK and Ireland
"A cheap car to by second hand"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The hand brake failed whilst parked on a hill.
The CV joint on the left side has had to be replaced twice.
Right side brake bulb constantly blows.
Stereo Shortage, caused whole electrial system to fail.
Radiator fan switch faulty.
Uses quite a lot of oil due to problem above.
Electrial system charging problems, this had occured 3 times.
Brakes became jammed during a 2 week holiday, new brakes had to be purchased.
Problems starting.
Fuel pump leak.
Faulty horn.
Broken door hinge.
General comments?
I have had quite a lot wrong with this car. The problems have occured mainly by the electrical system. I probabaly would not buy another Honda as my next car as I have found this one too unreliable. However, I would say that when it does work it is a nippy little car. Unfortunately my car is just a bad one.
