1993 Honda Civic from North America - Comments

Windshield and all windows constantly fog up, especially in wet weather. I have to keep the defroster and the air conditioner on at all times to minimize my problem. At times, this doesn't even help! I know three other people with Honda Civics and all of them have this same problem, so I know it's not just me.

I would never in a million years buy any other car made by Honda.

I have owned a 93 Honda Civic EX for about a year and I have not had any problems with my car in any way. The comment you made about the fogging, I feel that it is unreasonable to say that you would not buy another car that is made by Honda. I have made many modifications to my car in order to make it faster and I have not had any problems thus far. I like Hondas and I feel they are good cars for the amount of money they cost.

I know what you're saying about the fogging up. But I got mine fixed very easily. There is a heater fuse or something else that regulates the heat. For defogging the windows put it on heater and open the windows in the summer and close them in winter. The reason I think that they are harder to unfog is that the engines run cooler and have more steady power and last longer. So I would choose to have the foggy windows and a better car.

OK, the fogging of the windows? I had a '93 Civic (DX) and the windows were all tinted I live in Nebraska, and mine hardly ever got foggy or anything. It's not the car, Hondas are the car that runs forever.

I've got a 1984 Civic Hatchback with the same prob: the windows fog up very easily. No tint on glass. Maybe the window glass is thinner causing condensation to occur more rapidly than in another (more expensive) car? Don't know. Try that cream anti-fog stuff you can get for eye glasses and keep a clean rag handy! This a minor peeve for me; otherwise this car has been very very good.

I'm surprised by the window fogging complaint. We have a 1992 Civic LX sedan, and the heater/defroster is outstanding. The AC is a little weak, though.

I have a 1993 civic dx auto with 152000 miles on it.

My windows fog up badly and ther is tint on some of them.

The car wasn't driven so softly, but it held up for quite a while. the problem is... that 151000 miles the transmission only has park, neutral, and 2nd gear.

It will not shift out of 2nd.

I have owned my 1991 Honda Civic for about 8 years now and have never had a problem with the windows fogging up. I think they are very good cars and my next car will definitely be a Honda.

I have a 1993 Civic hatchback GLi (Australia and New Zealand) a 2001 Civic sedan back home in South America as well and both build fog on the windshield very easily. I never thought about it as being a problem inherent to Hondas though, I just switch the AC on or open the window a tad and I'm all set. I think I've never noticed it because I love both of my Hondas so much that I'm reluctant judge them. A little bit of bias on my part :-p. Objectively though, they are great cars for the money.

After your car warms up change it from recirc to fresh air it will still be hot and your windows won't fog up. imagine that.

You may want to check your heater core. It is located behind the glove compartment. I had the same problem until I changed my heater core. P.S. I have 242000+ miles on my 1993 Honda Civic. Love Honda's.

I have owned my rover 216 coupe with 1.6 16v SOHC honda engie for a while now it has never let me down until recently. When upon starting it fired on three cylinders untill it warmed up then ran as normal I have changed plugs leads rotor arm had distributor tested the car was allot better, but still done it intermittently so I replaced cap and new fuel filter it still done it so changed cap back then car would not start put new cap back on nothing tuns over got fuel going in and spark on all four timing may be out, but why would it start, but next day nothing could be fuel problem or wiring or even ecu I'm now stuck as all this is getting expensive please help!!!

I have owned a baby type vti civic for some time now and its crap.

I have a 93 civic hatchback with a F22A4 spolling 14 pounds of boost on stock internals. I have never seen a car react so well with mods.
