1980 Honda Civic Base from North America
Summary:
Hats off to Honda
Faults:
Nothing wrong; just needs annual tune ups, and valve adjustments are crucial for smooth running Civics. Brakes and oil changes.
General Comments:
I purchased this car from a man moving out of the country, and it always ran perfectly with just normal maintenance.
Then there was the day it got broadsided by a bus in downtown Los Angeles, The passenger side was V'd in and the glass broken the doors no longer met the sills of the car, and was now open to the elements. Luckily no one was in the passenger seat when the accident occurred, nor was I injured either.
So what does this have to do with my comments? As bad as this car was hit, it kept driving without a hitch. I kept it two years longer, and never had the damage repaired.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Please keep the car in good condition. They have become nearly non-existant in many parts of the country. Blame rust.Whatever, theyre a dying breed. Youre fortunate to have found one.
