1990 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"If one is in the market for an economical and reliable sports car, this is it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine had a "knock" when cold ever since I owned it.
It started to burn oil and developed a minor oil leak at about 230,000k.
Sometimes, as I am trying to start it, the engine light will go on, thus not allowing it to start. I then have to give it a lot of gas for it to eventually start.
General comments?
Other than the above mentioned "quirks", it is an excellent car!
It is economical, handles like a sports car, and VERY reliable!
I LOVE IT!!!
