1999 Honda Civic EX review from North America
"Pefect for first time buyer, have to crawl before you learn how to walk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is my first car, its slow, but for a civic its not bad, the following things that are wrong with it are pretty small, other than that the main thing I love about this car is the ability to take a 40mph turn in it like nothing. I recommend first time student drivers to purchase one, they'll look cool driving it and parents won't have to worry about them racing and crashing since it only has 127 hp at the crank!
First thing I noticed was an irritating rattle by the back seat speakers still have not had it fixed.
Cruise control light went out.
Cup holders really suck, barely step on it and your drink is all over the floor.
Driver side window motor went out at about 85k miles.
Steering wheel is showing some pretty good wear, probably from the sun.
Some weather stripping on the drivers door and on the moon roof has fallen off or is getting ready to.
Other than that it's a-OK!
General comments?
Some minor problems.
Handles pretty good for an economic vehicle.
