This car can handle anything. I went from a 83 Firebird to this Honda and drive it like it is a sports car. It keeps up for the most part.
Dummy oil light works really well. I continuously ran this car low on oil (about 1 - 1 1/2 quarts in it) and the engine never blew!
Takes a licking, keeps on ticking.
Handles on curves really well.
Loves to go over 75 miles per hour.
Very fuel efficient!! When gas was under $1, full tank of gas costs approximately $8 - $9!!!
1 dollar per litre or 1 dollar per gallon? If you were only paying 8 or 9 bucks to fill your car, you must have been pretty full to begin with.
When gasoline was $0.89 per gallon, you could spend eight or nine dollars and fill your tank in a Honda Civic dx, assuming you had a little bit of gas in the tank. If you have absolutely no gas in the tank, the sending unit in the gas tank will read below the empty line on the dashboard gas gauge.
It only has a 10 gallon tank so $8-9 makes perfect sense if gas is under $1.
