1996 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"Voted 1996 car of the year"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ignition got jammed and had to be replaced after 2 years.
The drivers side window (manual) would get dislodged and need to be realigned after 4 years.
Other than that a great car.
General comments?
A nice 2-door car with plenty of trunk space for a compact. The car had plenty of speed for a 4 cylinder and could do 110 mph easy. Performed minor manintenance after 3 years with no problems. Gas mileage is excellent.
