1996 Honda Civic Ferio review from Indonesia
"My first attraction to Honda"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the timing belt and tensioner.
Replaced some air conditioning parts (evaporator, pipes) and repaired the compressor.
Replaced car cooling system parts (pipes, water pump).
Replaced shock breakers.
Replaced tie rod and legs.
General comments?
The model looked very attractive at the time I bought it and still looks OK today.
What I liked was its big head lamps with multi reflector/crystal design (the first in 1996).
Fuel efficiency was high, compared to other similar sedans, Civic was the best.
Engine power was high for its relatively small engine (1,600cc).
