CV boots failed after driving 6,000 miles in two weeks. Replaced timing belt at 60,000 miles per standard maintenance. Still on original clutch at 150,000 miles.
Very dependable and solid. Worth much more than its resale value, and it has held onto value very well at that.
I agree.
My car has taken a beating and at 145K is still running fine.
This is an amazing machine.
I bought my Honda Civic in April of this year. It had been thrashed when I bought it, and desperately needed maintenance. I put a new steering rack, inner and outer tie rods, upper and lower ball joints, alternator, battery, radiator, lower control arm bushings, new timing belt, alternator belt, rotors and rocker panels onto this vehicle. Apart from the rotors rocker panels, and lower control arm bushings, everything else was bought used from a breakers yard. The engine and gearbox was replaced prior to me buying the car for $500 Canadian. The car flew through its Inspection last month. I have just put 4,000 Kilometres onto this car since I had it. The car drives like a dream, its five speed gearbox makes it a little pocket rocket if you want it to be, and the gas mileage is second to a bicycle. I cannot say enough about this car. All in all with the repairs this car has cost a little more than $1200.00 to get onto the road. I should be able to sell it for around $1800.00. The car had a small windshield leak, but removal and re-fixture of the outer seal has totally cured the problem. Car corners like its on rails, and is plenty roomy for me being over six foot.
I agree that the car is very dependable my car has well over 500,000 miles and runs like new don't ask me why its quiet and every thing still works.
