1994 Honda Civic review from North America
"Headache on wheels"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Paint faded and chipped.
Windshield wiper blades squeak.
Lighter takes too long to turn hot.
Window motor is slower than when I bought it.
Makes wide turns, which makes it hard to do a U-turn on small roads.
Can't find the seat adjuster.
Engine turned black and grimy.
Steering wheel gets extremely hot when the car sits out in the sun, it burns my hands.
The car gets bad mileage - I have to fill it up all the time.
The muffler fell off while on I-95.
Needed to replace hub caps at 200,000 miles.
Gas tank leaks fuel.
The seats are ripped and torn.
Cheap interior.
I tried to sell it for 4K and nobody bought it, so I'm losing money.
The car cries when I drive over 60.
The seat belts stopped working.
The tires constantly blow out.
The gas pedal sticks.
General comments?
I really dislike this vehicle, it drives me crazy and stresses me out. I'm glad I gave it to my son for his graduation present. This way I don't have to see that lemon anymore.
