1986 Honda Civic wagon review from Australia and New Zealand
"This is a weapon of a car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car it had minor surface rust, but since washing, cutting back and polishing the car there is virtually no rust at all.
Considering this car has been living near the beach for a long time this is great.
The seat belt buckles are a worry, but nothing major yet.
General comments?
My car now has a bed in the back when the seats are down and converts into a nice little room for sleeping after big nights.
This car provides the recquired room when the seats are down, but is really much smaller than an ordinary wagon.
This is a great car and I am going to keep it till it dies on me.
