1996 Honda Civic from North America - Comments

Lots of things - CV joints, the head gasket cracked.

I'm very disappointed, I bought this car cause everyone bragged about how they were so good, and to think I traded my Festiva in on this thing!

I'm amazed that your Festiva was more reliable than your Civic. I've read hundreds of reports and experiences with the Civics and they seem incredibly reliable (I've never known anyone with a crappy Honda)..

I deliver in a '92 Festiva and it does the job, but it's a piece of crap. My aunt also owns a '92 Festiva and it's also crap.

I know MANY people that have had crappy Civics... Go for the Accord if you want a reliable Honda.

Are you crazy civic is more reliable than accord go to consumer report!!!you are maybe drunk...

I have a crappy honda, accord-- although 225k miles--maybe not so crappy. replaced battery, alternator (x3), fuel pump (w/ hond part) --its failing AGAIN--, catalytic converter, axles, cv's, wheel bearing's shot! 1 head light won't open and shut, sunroof leaks& has ruined head liner, the key only unlocks driver door sometimes, the window relays are crap!, the ac quit, and the cable it open the hood ; well the whole thing came off.i ve had the car2 yr. P.O.S.!

To the person above me, it sounds like you had an 80's Accord. As they get older things will end up wearing out. However, Hondas like any other car, are only are as good as they are taken care of.
