1986 Honda Civic review from North America
"A relatively reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The driver side drive axle was bad.
The seats were worn out.
The rear brakes were dangerously worn.
The door panels were torn up.
The headliner had holes throughout it.
The radiator cooling fan switch broke.
General comments?
This car is relatively safe, but at 20 miles per hour the front end crushes relatively easily.
However the interior stays intact during the crash.
