1990 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"Perfect for college kids!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car kept stalling out on me while I was driving, just random stalls here and there. It was very aggravating because I go to school and work also, as I put 360+ miles on it a week. Turned out to be distributor cap gone haywire. Just fixed, we will see what will happen.
General comments?
Great gas mileage.
5 speed manual creates a "missile" effect.
Incredible city traffic capabilities.
Hatchback gives lots and lots of room.
Room in back for 3 adults to sit comfortably.
Lacks high end horsepower.
Overall, if this sucker runs at all, it runs well. Reliable car!
