1991 Honda Civic Si review from North America
"Best darn car out there"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The seats are a little worn, but it is a 1991.
My alternator's original and it finally failed on me, so I'm trying to get it off. It's awkwardly placed; I have to take the front left tire and a mud-shield off to access the bolt.
Engine burns oil; not much, but enough. Runs better than mother's 1.5 1988 though, despite the burn.
AC leaks, but it's been switched to new stuff.
General comments?
This Honda has been a dream. Since the steering is so tight, I can park my car ANYWHERE.
Seats are old, but still firm.
Gas mileage is superb. 12 dollars fills a 3/4 empty tank with ease.
All the controls are easy and within reach.
Power brakes and power steering are not needed on such a small car. The lack gives a nice race car feeling to it.
