1999 Honda Civic LX` review from North America

"Honda lemons do exist. I had one."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

1,200 miles, there was a recall on this car regarding the alternator or something to the likes of it.

30,000 miles, there was another recall concerning the airbags, or the airbag sensor.

37,000 miles, ignition failure, needed to replace coils and switch which totalled about $800. It was just out of warranty.

60,000 miles, airbag light came on and stayed on. $400 to reset the sensor.

97,000 miles, car completely died. I'm not sure what happened, but there is no electrical power whatsoever to the car. I replaced the battery, but that didn't work. I tried a lot of things and still haven't been able to fix the problem. I gave the car away to my dad, who still can't figure out what's wrong.

General comments?

I don't like this car. I never did, I assume I never will.

I bought it because my with my credit and 0 down, it cost me only $197 a month.

This car gets great gas mileage, 34-39 mpg, and it has a lot of pep for a little four banger.

I don't like how the seats are (hard), just because I am used to the giant plush American cars.

I don't like how noisy this thing is, whether it be on the freeway or anywhere for that matter.

I am quite disappointed with the reliability of this car, just because "after all, it's a Honda." It hasn't given me a ton of problems, but it hasn't been what I expected either.

I assume I received a lemon. Everyone seems to love their Honda's, so I hope this review is just a reminder that every lineup of cars has their lemons. I'm not criticizing Honda or shooting them down, I'm just saying that I'll go elsewhere next time for a vehicle.
