1999 Honda Civic LX review from North America
"The best purchase I've ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car the pull-latch for the hood was broken (I have to use needle-nose-pliers to "pop" my hood). I've had the car for 5 months now, and I just recently had to replace the windshield wipers. Otherwise, nothing has gone wrong yet; the car has been wonderful.
General comments?
I've read a few other reviews, and every one has said this car drives horribly in the winter.
I had to drive to work in nearly a foot of snow on uncleared roads; the car handled beautifully. Maybe it's the driver.
I found it handles better if you shift into D2, instead of keeping it in D4 in the deep snow.
