1998 Honda Civic EX review from North America

Nothing has gone wrong yet.

This has been a good car. My second Honda Civic in a row. Same problem areas are:

Low power for merging or going uphill.

Rear fender on both cars is sort of 'off' track a bit, very strange.

Does tend to hydroplane in big puddles.

Visor material starts wearing out quickly and the stuffing/padding in there will start flaking. Get a cover for both asap!

Same thing with the sun roof, that material covering it wears out quickly and you get dust in your eyes when you open it.

Otherwise, fabulous car. Never fails to start ::crossing fingers:: is totally reliable.

Changing the oil is a BEAR. I have to take it to a service station.

Would want my kids to have one when they are ready to drive if they were not so expensive.

Paint, seats, engine, everything is just great.

Don't get one if you are just starting your family though, getting car seats in/out buckled/unbuckled for years in a row was such a bad decision. I should have gotten a van or such. TOO SMALL to climb back there all the time. And the latch to move seats forward/back is on the inside of the seat, not outside by the doors. So whenever you want to move your seat back, you have to scrunch down and practically climb in the car to do so.
