1993 Honda Civic Coupe EX review from North America
"The undisputed king of the 4 bangers!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator cracked at around 145,00 miles as a result of the thermal fuse going bad.
The back struts had to be changed at 242,000 miles.
Outside paint is beginning to wear along the top and hood, but no more than any other 9 yr old car on the Gulf Coast.
General comments?
This car is everything that the other "economy" imports and domestics are not. Hence the 9 yrs of ownership.
After every routine servicing the car seems quicker.
Although this car is going on a decade yrs old its not even showing its age. (and me either).
The only thing that I would change about this car would be the front -end headlights (which Honda did in 1996) but a front end mask gives it a better appearance.
