1994 Honda Civic Bali review from Japan
"Later model Civics just haven't made the grade. European cars are miles ahead"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Failed emissions test.
Uses excessive fuel for such a car (30-32mpg).
Power steering pump leaked oil.
Poor performance.
General comments?
Ventilation in the car is very poor, especially on a warm day on the motorway. Heater controls & window winder heavy.
A lot of cost cutting evident in the build quality. Noisy on the motorway & poor seats. Nice to drive & a nice looker though.
