1990 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"You get what you pay for"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car just leaks a little oil here and there, but it's no big deal, it's because the block is so old.
Other than that, it's fine.
General comments?
This car does handle well due to me lowering the suspension.
The motor isn't all that bad.
I can keep up with stock V6 Mustangs until 3rd gear.
It really has no low-end torque. The motor starts making power close to its redline.
