1999 Honda Civic LX` from North America - Comments

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.

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.

I would say that these problems are not that major and you should expect a machine to eventually fail, in one way or another.

Unless you are an able mechanic I would take the car to a repair shop. I have a friend who knows nothing about cars at all and his broke down in September 06. It was a Ford Taurus and it would have probably cost 500$ to fix it, but he had it towed to his brothers home to be fixed where it is still sitting to this day broken down. He has so far spent hundreds of dollars trouble shooting replacing parts that did not need to be replaced. What an idiot! He has been bumming rides off everyone for the past six months and he is almost 30! Save a few hundred dollars--take it to an able mechanic -- it will save time and your friends won't have to hate you.
