1998 Honda Civic CX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oxygen sensor at 80 000 KM - $350 CAD.
Trunk gasket preventing rain water from getting into the trunk - 30 000 KM - Replaced under the warranty. I heard it is typical problem for a hatchback.
General comments?
Good and affordable commuter. Seat is little harsh on my back (could be just me).
Great engine and transmission, sporty suspension. Handling is crisp and predictable.
Gas consumption is really nice, good bonus with today's gas prices.
Interior materials are OK for the price - not the best, but also there is no cheap feel inside..
