1990 Honda Civic LX review from North America
"Reliable, low maintenance, economical car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I purchased my 1990 Honda Civic,
the radiator has blown.
The muffler fell off.
My alternator has gone bad twice.
My compressor cannot hold freon.
Brake pedal got stuck, burnt up brake pads, routers, calipers.
General comments?
This car is very reliable over all.
Considering the car is almost as old as I am, I would have to say it has held up pretty well.
It has a large amount of room inside despite it's small appearance.
The only down point would be that I live in Louisiana and have no air conditioning, which makes the comfort level low in the summer months.
