The only things that really went wrong with the car was that we had to replace the CV joints at about 65000 miles. There is also a problem with the Master Cylinder. Other than that though it was pretty reliable.
I LOVE this car. It is not really a sports car, but let me tell you, I put some Mustangs to shame in it!
I would recommend Honda to any one. They are decent, safe reliable and very versatile. My personal opinion is that most Hondas look great already, but they are very easy to modify as well.
Most of the people that I know who own Hondas own them for years and years with very little trouble. In fact our neightbors sold their aging Honda and bought a much newer American Luxury SUV and guess what happened, the person that they sold their little Honda to ended up picking them up as they were broke down on the side of the road with their 60000 vehicle! Ha Ha!
My 93 civic ex has been the best car I ever owned. It now has 249,000 miles on it and get 32 mpg. I change the oil every 3,000 miles and have kept records on all work done. It does have some minor oil leaks and started around 200,000 miles. One leak was the "O" ring on the distributor. The other leaks are on the valve cover and oil pan. I bought this car new in 93 and everything still works. Plan to drive it until it blows.
My '93 Honda Civic EX is at 280,000 miles and still going strong. It has had NO major repairs; just little things to replace as it gets older. I would trade this car for anything.
My Civic EX Manual has 205000 miles. Still drives GREAT. I love it. Very zippy car. I prefer this car over a non-vtec integra any time. I driven Integras, 1993 and 1998, and I did not like them AT ALL.
