1998 Honda Civic LX review from North America
"Not good value and lacks quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. Had to replace the alternator at 20,000 miles after the car died on me a few times. Covered by the warranty
2. The car gets very very easily dented. To prove it both side doors have dents made from other car doors.
3. Paint tends to chip very easily. I have to apply touch up paint very regularly.
General comments?
Overall comfortable car to drive although the interior is a little noisy at highway speeds.
Major gripes:
1. Easily dented (should be called Civic "soda can")
2. Brakes wear out frequently.
