1994 Honda Civic DX Sedan D1.5 SOHC non vtec from North America
Summary:
Buy it if you can, but don't spend more than 2,000. These cars are plentiful and reliable
Faults:
The paint seems to fade rather quickly for a 13 year old car.
Windows don't seal particularly well, there is a lot of whistling occurring at high speeds (75+).
Head lights are extremely dim while on low beams.
The glove box handle broke within a week of my purchasing the vehicle.
General Comments:
The car has a lot of get up and go, but it is very noticeable on gas. I can spend twice the amount on gas driving to work aggressively as if I would mildly.
I would highly recommend this car for commuters!
First gear is ungodly short, if you plan to drive mildly, you will need to up shift by 15 at the most, or aggressively by 25.
The drivers seat has tons of room!!! I myself am 6'4" and it is more than sufficient.
I don't necessarily like the DX model; manual windows and locks can be a pain.
The trunk hardly opens, giving you about a foot and a half of space; However, the compartment itself is rather spacious.
The climate control is absolutely amazing!!! I've never had A/C this cold, or a heater this warm...
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

"I have driven, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and they are all nice, but my Civic drives nicer than most of em,... " and you "drag race" it to boot!
That must be one heck of a '94 Honda. Are we supposed to take this review seriously?
