1993 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"Good car, but throw it away when it exceeds 150000 miles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 151000 miles the transmission only has park, neutral, and 2nd gear.
It will not shift out of 2nd.
I've had problems with the body easily rusting.
I replaced the alternator three times before I got a reliable one.
Does not brake well at high speeds, (becomes unstable)
General comments?
Generally it is a good car that has been through hell.
It handles good and can be quite fast.
