  Why can,t they all be 90 Civics? - 1990 Honda Civic
  By Doug - June 11 - 9:43 pm

  I bought this car from my brother-in-law with 75,000 miles. It has been a great car. In summer I get 40+ mpg although I do mostly highway miles. No gizmos just basic transportation. The mileage is comparable to hybrids but this vehicle was built 18 years ago. I wish Honda would offer an updated version of the 90 Civic with simplicity, convenience, and quality in mind. This is probably the best car I ever owned.

  My beater - 1990 Honda Civic
  By knemt - June 4 - 9:48 pm

  I have had this car for 6 yrs now. Still running strong. I have replaced many part on it my self. The clutch was the hardest thing to do. Other then that afew things here and there and mostly for under $100. I have stripped the car inside and out many times. I love this car. I get around 32-38 mpg but thats after taking the ac and dash out. Next will be turning it in to a mini truck. Hope to get even better mpg. All in all a great little car. Easy to work on.

  You cant complain with 267,000 miles - 1990 Honda Civic
  By ShanaRlene - April 24 - 3:56 pm

  I had this car as a gift from my Uncle. He had been using this to drive to work 120 miles a day until I had it 10 years ago where I drove 110 miles a day. Never had any major problems. Engine is phenomenal - never been repaired since we got it. On top of that, the engine still sounds like brand new, very quiet. Only bad experience with this car was when I had to push it from a freeway to an exit for a gas, it was my fault though - I ran out of gas. However, at an average of 38 miles per gallon with todays gas prices - youll definitely will try looking for this COLLECTIBLE piece of treasure. I love this car!

  Best Honda ever in the world - 1990 Honda Civic
  By mimichar - February 12 - 5:07 pm

  Bought my Civic new, still love it after 252K miles. Nothing but routine maintenance and replacement of parts you would expect after that much mileage! Mostly city and highway driving.

  Tons of Reliability! - 1990 Honda Civic
  By Krissie - September 27 - 6:10 pm

  I purchased this little car in February of 2004, with only 98,000 miles on it! Only fix needed was a new muffler, surprisingly. This car is very warm in the winter (inside heats up fast!) and ice cold a/c in the summer. Excellent fuel economy! I get very close to 35-mpg on highway and easily 30mpg in city! The advantages are super easy to park, gas mileage and most of all, bullet-proof, long-lasting engines. Disadvantages are they say the smaller the car, the un-safer you are! True, but with the excellent reputations these cars have, Ill take the risk and keep her until the wheels fall off! I highly recommended this cute car for anyone seeking reliability and who is on a budget.

  Over 400,00k and still kicking strong - 1990 Honda Civic
  By veazeyr - September 13 - 1:52 pm

  This is my 3rd civic this generation and I have to tell you they are one of the best Hondas come out with. The body and paint are in excellent shape, nothings wrong with it, pass smog all day long. You can beat the hell out of them and they still keep coming back for some more miles.

  Loved it ! - 1990 Honda Civic
  By UDriveWhat - May 2 - 1:18 pm

  I loved the 90 hatchback that I had. Unfortunately had to sell it in order to make room for the 90 accord I am getting. Something about those old hondas really appeals to me.

  LOVE MY CAR - 1990 Honda Civic
  By Casey - October 20 - 10:49 am

  We bought this car new. That means Ive been driving this car for 17 years now and Im not ready to give it up. Other than needing a new muffler every couple years or so it hasnt need major money output to maintain. I am only just now having the brakes done for the second time. Mileage is wonderful, I still get between 32 and 36 mpg. The head gasket has a tiny crack but leak is all but unnoticeable. I just check my oil level and keep it up. Its a manual and I live in Michigan, I have never had major problems driving in winter conditions. The road clearance is very low so I do have to be careful about bottoming out in some situations (it usually gets the muffler.)
