1995 Honda Civic DX from North America - Comments

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.

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.

That is because you bought a DX model, get the EX and you will know what people mean when they say performance, or EVEN better try a SI how's entering the freeway now LOL!!!

For the first commenter, performance is Mustang, Camaro etc. you should be familiar with their tail lights by now. :) Try one of these and you'll know what performance is! LOL.

I am also very satisfied with my Honda 1995 EX. It has with me for last 3 years and now 103000 KM done. The only problem I faced for last 5 month with my Honda is it's main pulley, which connected, with Crankshaft and it has controlling AC, power generator and power belts. It's started first from noise coming from pulley, and then suddenly on my way to mechanic it broke up. Then I spent $150 on buying new pulley, belt and repaired engine shaft. Then just on last weekend it happen again, but this time it's not worst like before, it only Pulley Cartar, so It cost me $ 50. Now I am very much concern with this, what mechanics told me that this is manufacturing fault in HONDA civic EX. Now the current status is that I am confused, because now this car seems to me unreliable. But the problem is that I love this car very much and do not want to sell. It's beautiful and perfect in driving and in fuel consumption. Ashar Khan (ashar_khan_pk@yahoo.com)

You are crazy!! I owned a 95 Civic ex for 6 years and it was the best car I had ever owned, Now I own a 2006 Civic and it is the best car I have ever owned!! I love Civics!!!

Dude the Honda civic isn't meant to be a performance car, it's a cheap economical car.

Hello all!

This review sounds like someone who bought a lemon or dud. There are lemons and duds in all types of vehicle makes. I have a 1995 civic sedan EG model its not the most reliable car, but it certainly isn't the worst out there. I have to admit that a daihatsu charade was better for reliability, but the mechanics are so much more simple in cars like that. The DX, like the civic breeze in australia, was a despecified model, it's a shame that honda offered such low rent examples of a good car, however, it was their way of creating an entry model into the segment. It's really sparse, but I'm probably guessing that your didn't pay much for it. So you get what you pay for at the end.
