1979 Honda Civic review from North America
"Awesome, reliable little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 5000 miles, the float stuck disabling the fuel pump. Took 3 days to diagnose and repair.
No other repairs in the next 139,000 miles!!!
Though at around 125,000 miles it could have used a ring job.
General comments?
This was a perfect little car.
Gas mileage was as high as 39 and was 32 around town... consistent for 10 years.
