1992 Honda Civic DX Sedan review from North America

"A very dependable and low cost car to own"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

2002 - Replaced timing belt, water pump, and drive belts. Replaced A/C compressor and distributor base all at 88k. Front wheel alignment.

2003 - New oxygen sensor at 101k.

General comments?

My dad originally bought this car because of the good gas mileage to use for his 60 mile commute. When I turned 16 he bought a new car and let me use this car. I love this car even though it has its little design flaws. This car has been a very low maintenance car and barely ever needs repairing or fluids added. I feel that this car is very well built and no trim pieces ever snap off or break. It corners really well and is fun to drive even though I would appreciate more horsepower that 102. The biggest design flaw is probably the climate control system. It is not powerful enough and the fans click on the highest speed. I have also had a lot of problems with the window squirter's getting clogged from build up. The automatic transmission also has some flaws when shifting and sometimes jerks, but this could be from wear. The fabric in the interior could also be a bit more durable because now mine is stretched out and there are some small holes in it. I would recommend a new sound system because the factory one is not powerful at all. You can't really listen to the radio on the freeway because the road is so loud. Even with these few quirks I would still recommend this car to anyone who needs a very dependable car for a commute or a student. I feel very lucky to have this car and it would make a great street racer conversion because there are many parts available for it out there.
