1992 Honda Civic DX review from North America

Bought car with mostly cosmetic flaws. Biggest and most baffling is why is keeps overheating. Had the thermostat replaced. Radiator flushed and checked for leaks, water pump checked for leaks, basically had the whole cooling system worked over, and still it overheated. Other than that the ac does not work due to a leaky compressor, the transmission jerks a little, and it seems to strain on the freeway. The body and interior is in fair condition. Radio works, but speakers are cooked. So far I have spent 400 dollars on repairs. Plan on spending another 600 or so to fix the ac.

This car is a great gas saver in these days of 3.00 a gallon gas. Small, agile and comfortable. Reliability has yet to be proven since I have not owned it that long. But it's history precedes it. I believe this is a great car that I got for a great price, and after the initial repairing and tweaking are taken care of I think it will run for at least another 200,000 miles. Every Mechanic I have shown it to says it is I fabulous condition, and can't understand why is is overheating. Honda Civics are one of the best cars made.
