1979 Honda Civic 1500 DL review from North America
"I love this car and intend to keep it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch went out.
General comments?
I bought this car new for me and my dog in my young, single days. Have since raised a family in it, used it as work vehicle for route work in stop and go traffic and running short distances most of the time in the wet Pacific NW. Rust happens here... It still loves the freeway and performs wonderfully climbing the high passes and going through snowy and ice-slicked roads.
I love the way it maneuvers. It's quick and has guts enough to pull out in heavy city traffic.
