1990 Honda Civic review from North America

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Well I got it from a friend, it broke down on him a few days ago (mar 1st 2005) he knew nothing about cars so I went and checked it out, it would start, but once the rpm went back down to idle it would stall, so driving it from where it was parked, I had to put it in nutreal and keep it above the idle so it wouldn't stall, so the whole way there I was usin g2 feet driving :p so I we got to teh garage and I was like how long has the oil light been on for, and hes like I unno like, 1..2..3..4...5 or 6 weeks :o so I'm like wow.. so we get it into the garage for an oil change, the guy pulls out teh dip stick, and he said there wasnt a drop of oil left in the car. so I was laughing and so was the mechanic actually he said if it was anythign else other than a honda teh engine would have gone a while ago. other than that the muffler rusted off, now it sounds like a race car hahaha.

General comments?

I love how it handles, its small and zippy, has no problems accelerating, once it gets upto 130-140km/h it starts slowing down, where as my buick century will go upto 150-160 befor it starts accelerating slower. another feature I like is the hand break and once again, how small it is. the seating is cramped in the back.. and the front is buckets, so there won't be much shagging going on in this car :p over all I love this car.
