The exhaust resonator pipe rotted out and caused the exhaust to rattle and make excessive noise.
The vinyl driver's side seat has worn badly.
The engine takes a little bit longer to start in the cold.
The 5-speed can be hard to shift into reverse when cold.
Well, this being the first car I have ever owned, I am deeply impressed with it.
The engine is rather weak at 70 horsepower and 91 pounds of torque, but with the car being only 2,054 pounds, it has very nice performance.
The interior is very nice. The controls are mounted in the right places, and are easy to use, however, the interior is plainly styled.
If I could change some things about this car, I would have included a tachometer as standard equipment. When you have a manual transmission, a tachometer is a must.
I have owned a 1992 Civic DX Sedan and it weighing so much more than the CX model it only had 7 more torque, so I'm looking forward to seeing the performance of this car as I believe it will be rather impressing. As for the lack of a tachometer you eventually learn where to shift even if racing. The maximum torque of the CX is at only 2000 RPM whereas the horsepower extends to 5000 RPM, but as any other dragster knows you shift at torque. All in all I am deeply looking forward to purchasing this car in the near future, but by far not leaving it stock. Look for it at Nopi!!
