1995 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"Overrated and Under Performing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced a head gasket.
Automatic transmission rebuilt.
Replaced 2 wheel bearings.
The interior dash lights occasionally flicker when the car hits bumps.
Most features on this model were cheap for example it didn't come with a trunk light and the radio buttons don't light up at night.
Acceleration is horrible.
General comments?
Aside from the gas savings this car has been very expensive to maintain. In fact this car has cost me more than any domestic I or my family has ever owned.
I will never buy Honda again not just because of the poor product, but because of my poor dealership experience.
Anyone who gave these cars a high performance mark probably never owned another car before. I found it almost anemic and a nightmare when trying to gather enough speed to enter a busy freeway.
