1991 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"A rice burner that handles like it is burning risotto, not rice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My radiator sprang a leak, easy fix with some cold weld adhesive.
I'm on my 3rd muffler. They keep rusting out.
Constant velocity joints, but it's front wheel drive so that is to be expected.
General comments?
This car has been the best car I have even had.
I'm over 175,000 miles and still on the original clutch.
If looking get a stick, you can't go wrong, it will get up and go when needed.
There are not many cars that can save you money with insurance and still have a little bit of sport to keep it exciting, not to mention great gas mileage.
As a used car you can't go wrong with a Honda product they just won't die.
