1992 Honda Civic CX review from North America
"Inexpensive, reliable, and fun!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The exhaust resonator pipe rotted out and caused the exhaust to rattle and make excessive noise.
The vinyl driver's side seat has worn badly.
The engine takes a little bit longer to start in the cold.
The 5-speed can be hard to shift into reverse when cold.
General comments?
Well, this being the first car I have ever owned, I am deeply impressed with it.
The engine is rather weak at 70 horsepower and 91 pounds of torque, but with the car being only 2,054 pounds, it has very nice performance.
The interior is very nice. The controls are mounted in the right places, and are easy to use, however, the interior is plainly styled.
If I could change some things about this car, I would have included a tachometer as standard equipment. When you have a manual transmission, a tachometer is a must.
