1991 Honda Civic DX 3-Door Hatchback review from North America
"Slow but economical!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The body was extremely fragile and dented very easily. Also it rusted easily, especially around the undercarriage area.
The 92 horsepower 1.5L DOHC engine was not very sufficient if speed is what you're looking for. In other words the DX model provides a very powerless engine with no guts!
The timing belt needed to be replaced before its time and also the car started to make a weird noise just before I sold it.
General comments?
A great car if your looking to save on gas but if speed is your thing, this car is far from what you're looking for. Its engine though is very reliable and durable, unlike the body frame.
