Changed rotors and pads to new OEM-type at 47,000 miles. Cost: $300. Original rotors were warped and so they pulsed when braking. The new ones are perfect after 12,000 miles.
I'm on my third set of tires. They always wear unevenly. Admittedly, I drive the car in a "sporting" manner much of the time.
The seats are typical Japanese -- not very comfortable for cross-country drives, although I've seen worse.
Fuel economy is EPA 32/38 mpg, but all I ever seem to get is around 30 mpg in mixed driving. That's 7.8 l / 100 km for those outside the USA. (I doubt this car was ever available outside the USA.)
Road noise is considerable at 75 mph. Even so, I've done several cross-country drives and would not hesitate to do one again. The car is dead reliable.
I love the suspension on this car. It seems to keep the tires in contact with the road surface, even when cornering hard over uneven pavement.
I have a 94 civic EX and have been taking some of those long trips. I just love the way the tires grip the ground when cornering. Each time I return from my trip, I will step out, look at the little beast and just laugh... Great car!
