What things have gone wrong with the car?

Lots of things - CV joints, the head gasket cracked.

General comments?

I'm very disappointed, I bought this car cause everyone bragged about how they were so good, and to think I traded my Festiva in on this thing!

I'm amazed that your Festiva was more reliable than your Civic. I've read hundreds of reports and experiences with the Civics and they seem incredibly reliable (I've never known anyone with a crappy Honda)..

I deliver in a '92 Festiva and it does the job, but it's a piece of crap. My aunt also owns a '92 Festiva and it's also crap.

I know MANY people that have had crappy Civics... Go for the Accord if you want a reliable Honda.
