1995 Honda Civic DX 1.6 VTEC d16z6 from North America

Summary:

Very reliable sardine can

Faults:

This car is a junkyard zombie, so it's needed some work. I have replaced the alternator, timing belt, and a few front end things. Exhaust and suspension are due.

Some kid or the junkyard put 15" rims on it, which makes the tires cost 2x as much. Want to go back to steelies this year.

General Comments:

Kind of underpowered, but the VTEC motor is awesome. If something happens to the car, I would keep the engine. I am honestly expecting the engine to go at least another 150,000-200,000 miles. The body will probably be rusted away by then.

I don't like the ride of the bigger 15" rims, and the seats are uncomfortable for long trips. But I plan to change those things and drive this car hundreds of thousands more miles. It is very reliable and gets around 30 MPG. Most reliable car I've ever owned.

I also have the solar panel in the back window to trickle charge the battery all the time.

1995 Honda Civic EX VTEC 1.6 SOHC from Costa Rica

Summary:

Astonishing

Faults:

This is my fifth Honda Civic. I've had a 99 DX hatchback, 2003 EX coupe. 97 LX coupe, 92 SI hatchback, and finally a 1995 EX coupe.

To be absolutely honest with you, and as you can notice, I love Honda Civics. The best one I had was the 2003 coupe, which I had to sell because I got married, but that´s a totally different story.

There's nothing wrong going on with my 1995 Civic right now, except for a very small oil leak below the distributor. I've taken the car to a couple of technicians, and they haven't found the cause.

Other than that, it's a great car, with great performance and great fuel economy, as long as I don´t step too hard on the gas!

Everything else works as good as new, including the sunroof and all the electrical stuff (windows, door locks and side mirrors).

General Comments:

One of the best Hondas ever made, and I would highly recommend anyone to buy one. Some of the spare parts are a little bit expensive, but they are worth it. Try and get your own Honda Civic!

1995 Honda Civic CX 1.5 from North America

Summary:

I would buy one today if they still made them

Faults:

Had to replace the rusty exhaust.

Horn died.

Clutch master cylinder went.

Rear wiper died.

General Comments:

Really the greatest car ever. That's why I came here after losing her a year ago. I still love that car. Nine years and over 200,000 kilometers, and I spent less than a thousand dollars on non-maintenance related work. Only left me stranded when I left the lights on (no buzzer) and killed the battery.

Zippy, go-cart-like handling, and fuel economy that looks like the numbers for a diesel.

I had to get rid of her because I changed provinces, and safety and emissions work on a 15 year old car with 352,000 kms on her would have been ridiculous. I was forced to get a cheap, non-Civic as a replacement, and it's just not the same.

Hold on to your Civics boys and girls. Never let them go.

1995 Honda Civic Hatchback 1.5 from North America

Summary:

The best car I have ever owned

Faults:

Nothing at all. This has been the best car I have ever had.

General Comments:

This has been the best car I have ever owned. I just sold it cause I need a bigger car, and I sold it to a kid that is going to school, and he loves the car.

When I first got the car, it had 112,000kms, and when I sold it this week, it had 161,200Kms.

I drove it lots. Have been to a lot of places with it. I took some good trips with the car.

The only things I have done to the car are maintained it, do its oil changes every 3 to 5 thousand Kms, and just look after it.

Man I miss the car so much already. Nothing lasts forever. Oh well, I just bought a 2003 Mazda Protege LX loaded. I hope this car treats me good; it only has 77,000 kms.
