Faults:

My oil pan leaks a bit. The radio makes a weird noise every time I turn it on. The rear window defroster is not working at all.

I have used and abused this car and it still runs perfectly fine. For the age of the car it can still pick up speed and go over 100 Mph. The car engine looks like it's brand new, but it's the same engine that has been in the car ever since it came out in 1989. Everything that is an essential in the car that I need works perfectly fine. The paint is brand new, but the clear gloss on the bumpers are coming off.

Only cost me $900.

I had to replace the master cylinder at 161,000.

At about 165,000, I had to replace the heater core. This was a pain in the neck because I chose to do it myself. However, had I paid someone else to do it, it would have been quite expensive. It was worth it to me.

Other that that, nothing major.

First of all, I deliver pizzas, so I drive the car anywhere from 100-175 miles a day. I have had enough constant road time to say that this is the most dependable car I have ever driven.

The only things I have noticed is that, due to my job, routine things seem to roll around more often. For example oil, brake pads and all of the other "dummy" type of things.

For its moderate 2.0 bbl engine, this car has some serious "get up and go"! She is a 5 speed manual, and from the first time that I drove her, I loved how peppy she is.

The Gas mileage is also great. I usually average 32-36 mpg on regular, which I am very happy with.

For the price, you can't beat it. It is a great first, second, or third car! Over all, I love this Car!

Faults:

Not a thing. There are the tiniest spots where rust might form. The paint is old on this 14 year old car and needs to be redone. The sun has taken its toll over the years. Other than that it must have been maintained. It was a rental car, then owned by some guy who fixed up Hondas, and now I own it.

I love it! Its my first car and I believe I made a great selection. The engine seems to run like the day it was new. The floor has water under the driver side mat all the time, though. As well my passenger's feet are always cold with cold air blowing in on the highway. I believe there must be a leak in the ventilation or something near the firewall. The people who owned it before me must have thought it was the windshield because they put tons of black silicone sealant around the windshield. There don't seem to be any leaks around the sunroof. Theres barely any rust up there at all which is a surprise. The electronics all work perfectly. I have the stock stereo driving brand new 180w replacement speakers (JVCs in the front and Sony X-Plods in the back). It sounds great. I've used it on trips to Toronto and Ottawa from Peterborough without a problem other than the cold feet on the passenger's side.

One other thing. When I first got it a sensor or something must have been dirty or faulty. When I go to park the car and its idling after running for a while it would oscillate between 1k and 2k RPMs and never settle down. This seems to have stopped happening, though.
