1991 Honda Civic Si Hatchback review from North America
"Low-budget Porsche!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The igniter would stop working when the engine warmed up. I replaced it myself for $122.00.
No other problems!!!
General comments?
I have owned this car for 9 years now, and I have driven it like a racehorse on methamphetamines being chased by a hungry cheetah, and it has never let me down!!!
Through all of the hard, abusive driving I have put this poor little car through, it still performs beautifully.
It still gets 33MPG.
It accelerates with the spirit of a Porsche.
The paint still looks decent.
Everything still works, including the A/C.
I got the car at a good price, because it had a salvaged title. This made me a little wary at first, because salvaged cars might have been severely damaged and so might have a much lower resale value. But this never mattered, as I have never wanted to sell it. Several people have asked me to sell it to them, but I like this car too much to let it go.
