1990 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"Good car if it had less miles, still a strong car tho"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver side seat belt buckle didn't latch, got one from a local junkyard.
Front Door Jamb Switch (both) went out. Door Ajar light on the dash stayed on after replacing The driver side switch. Just kept the Dome light off.
Main Relay went out (big problem with the gen 4 Civics).
Had to replace both outer tierod ends.
Brakelight Switch grommet on the pedal arm fell out so I had to put a bolt in it AFTER replacing the switch.
Clutch started slipping.
Alternator started going out.
General comments?
Good little car, fun with the 5 Spd, but to much work, I put a grand into it in the 6 months that I owned it.
