2003 Honda Civic LX review from Mexico
"Excellent quality for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brake pedal clicks sometimes. A Honda technician told it may be the switch which opens the transmission (it lets you move it out of the Parking position when you press the brakes), but unfortunately it had not made the noise when visiting the dealer.
General comments?
Just a great car, with excellent driving feel which I qualify as addictive. The only weak point is that Honda could have done a better job in noise insulation.
The engine responds quickly, and the gas mileage is excellent, even in a city where traffic jams are part of everyday life. The steering and the brakes feel safe and accurate.
