1989 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"Can't go wrong reliable money saver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the car for $50.00 it needed a radiator and a front bumper, got the radiator, since then the cv joints went out, the valves, started to stick, started leaking oil. Keeping in mind that I am a teenager and I made it through 17 wrecks and it's just keeps on going. About 6 months ago the timing belt broke poor maintenance by me..
General comments?
Great gas mileage in stop and go traffic is got 50 MILES to the gallon. It was mainly city driven.
Cheap to maintain.
Very reliable.
The car would do 70mph in 1/4 mile.
Seat are comfortable.
Back seat very roomy I am 240 lbs and I can get in and out with even touching the front seat with it all the way back.
