1995 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"An awesome car that is a bastion of reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 100,000 miles the ignition module died. I replaced it myself for $270.00 bought at Auto-Zone with Lifetime warranty.
The battery has been replaced.
Nothing bad has gone wrong.
After 8 years the "paint" has chipped off the factory plastic hubcaps.
The drink holder broke.
The tint peeled off the back glass.
The CV Boot tore after 100K, but this is not unusual for any car. Rubber wears out.
Brake pads were replaced at 150,000 miles.
The car has 156,000 miles and has the original clutch!
It has had to be aligned several times. Pot holes seem to affect it a lot being it has small tires and is low to the ground.
General comments?
This car is an excellent vehicle. It never lets me down. It is super reliable. It is predictable. I would recommend this car to anyone. The handling is precise. It is fairly quiet in the cabin. I only wish we had bought the 4 door as we now have 2 kids.
