1992 Honda Civic LX review from North America
"Pricey, but reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the car used and had almost four years problem free. In the last year I have replaced the computer and alternator.
Body problems I am having appear to be universal with the 1992 Civics. The rear bumper is falling off and rust is forming at the wheel base and spreading. I observe other cars like mine on the road withe the exact same issues. This must be a defect if we're all losing our bumpers.
General comments?
This has been a reliable car and for the most part I have been pleased with it.
The interior is comfortable and instruments on dash are easily accessible. Factory stereo with tape deck has not lasted however, the LED is no longer readable.
I have not been happy with the way the body has held up and it will surely decrease the value of the car when I want to sell it. It may also have an impact on my decision to buy another Honda vehicle in the future.
