Overview & Reviews

A driver airbag is standard on all new Civics. Unfortunately, the wagon body style is dropped from the lineup. VTEC power is available by way of the top-end EX model. All sedans now have power steering added to their standard equipment list.

  Finally, a place to praise her! - 1992 Honda Civic
  By Ray C - November 28 - 11:35 pm

  Purchasing her was a nightmare, but owning her is a dream. This car has seen: 5 roundtrip treks from Chicago to L.A., plowed through 2 ft deep snow (clearing a path for a Blazer for 4 miles), ran into the side of a mountain (friend borrowed her), carried everything I owned as a bachelor, beats camaros through intersections (then loses a block later, lol), looks great, runs better, and is still ready for more. I realize no one will probably see this because of the year, but she is worth the effort to type a few words of praise. I will look back on the time i owned her, and smile. I will always compare future cars to her. My children will drive Civic HBs as their startup cars if I can convince them.

  My 2nd VX and better than the 1st !!! - 1992 Honda Civic
  By Ken was IL now MI - November 17 - 11:41 pm

  I owned my 1st VX for 10 years - see my 5/2002 review in this section. I was very sad when I sold it but I did because it started to rust badly in several areas. While looking at the bargain section of the car classifieds of the Detroit newspaper I found another 92 VX! for only $1500! Whats great about this one? NO SERIOUS RUST!! Three years later????? Anyway the new one (14 years young next month) is really fantastic. It has only 128,000 miles, doesnt leak/burn/use oil, the engine runs like new and the interior is in better shape than my 1st VX - seats and carpeting are mint. Still has the same advantages and disadvantages as the old one but if I could find another 92 Id buy it!!

  What a Great Car - 1992 Honda Civic
  By beaker - March 11 - 3:15 pm

  With gas prices so high only Hybrids can do better for mileage. This car has high interior noise, the seats are not that comfortable and rust is showing up in the rear quater panels but that is about the end of the bad stuff. Almost 283K miles, no major engine work and average mileage is around 40 MPG. It handles well and keeps up in city traffic no problem. I have seen several civics customized but this one wont see that kind of work until the engine goes.

  Best Car I Have Owned - 1992 Honda Civic
  By RedLT1 - November 19 - 2:00 am

  I have owned over 30 cars in 36 years and this is the best car quality wise I have owned. It is still going strong after 146,000 miles. It has survived by daughter and two teenage sons. The only thing I dont like about it is that it does not have enough power.

  Good car for those with shallow pockets - 1992 Honda Civic
  By ChillyWilly - September 25 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car after wrecking a late model luxury car. Though it has been a great downgrade, the Cvic is a good, reliable car. Its driver friendly, well-built and fun to drive. Performance is the one negative remark. Expect to be the last pulling off a light. On the plus side, Honda performance parts are widely available, if you are looking to increase horsepower. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. 120K and going strong.

  Lasts Forever - 1992 Honda Civic
  By Happy Civic ownre - May 8 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Honda LX 4 door with 55,000 miles on it.I now have over 340,000 miles on it. I maintain car as recommended. It does not consume/burn any oil. The last two sets of tires averaged 75,000 miles due to me not rotating them regularly. I have not yet had to replace the clutch or shock absorbers. I have had to replace the front brake rotors on two different occasions due to warpage and have had to replace the distributor and the alternator. This has been a phenomenally reliable and inexpensive car to own. I am wondering how many miles I can get on this engine. Has anyone heard of a Civic engine with more than 340,000 miles on it?

  Superb 1992 Honda Civic VX - 1992 Honda Civic
  By H. Pierce - May 4 - 2:00 am

  In 11 years of ownership, only four items have broken, two under warranty. A heat shield loosened and rattled, interior locking latches broke on both doors, the distributor cap cracked. Total repair bills: $353 (including 1 tow). All other items have been scheduled maintenance and expected replacements (e.g. battery, tires, CV boots, exhaust system) Overall average efficiency is 46 mpg in my mix of city and suburban freeway driving.

  Great fuel economy car - 1992 Honda Civic
  By cheese9988 - April 30 - 2:00 am

  Great fuel efficient and reliable car, am buying a 91 crx now. Car usually got around 36-38mpg and stick shift makes it fun to drive. Very easy to work on and easy to find parts for even for an import. Usual tune up parts was all that needed fixing. I would definitely recommed.

  Not bad, not great either - 1992 Honda Civic
  By Rizzo21 - March 3 - 2:00 am

  I was rather disappointed with the reliability of this Honda and probably spent more in repairs than would normally be expected. It started burning/leaking oil around 150K and I finally had to let it go at 174k with barely any residual value. Electrical fixes cost me quite a bit over the years too. The brakes seemed to have nice longevity as did the A/C unit and never any problems with the transmission/clutch.

  great car - 1992 Honda Civic
  By fdg456 - November 26 - 2:00 am

  bought car with 9k and 10years and 227000 miles later lost it to a rear- end collision. Never a problem with it, maintenance was minimal/routine/cheap. Fantastic fuel economy: always 40-44mpg mixed city/hwy, even after 200,000+miles! Inside and out stayed looking great.
