I get around 30-35 miles per gallon in the city and about 35-39 on the highway.
Easy to work on mechanical and electrical parts of the car.
Interior is easy to clean.

Sounds about identical to my 1991 Civic DX. Been a great car! Red paint started going south a few years ago. Headlights and taillights leak water. Replaced muffler at least three times. Radiator just cracked this morning 109,799 miles. Had to replace the cv joints a couple of years ago. Been a great car, but I think it is time to start looking for a new ride. Going to try and find a used Accord with low miles!
