  Honda worksmanship - 1990 Honda Civic
  By hondageek - August 24 - 2:00 am

  Had this car for 13 years. Never sat on the side of the road. Start up everyday in Minnesota winter. No major problems. Just purchased a new 2002 civic coupe. Another 13 years? Sure hope so...

  a great fun small car - 1990 Honda Civic
  By cosmok - August 15 - 2:00 am

  We bought this car new oh some 13 years ago and still love it. Its extremely nimble (saved me from an accident at the last second), simple design (utilitarian), and just looks great. I realized how great the looks were on Hondas/Acuras in the early 90s and how the looks deteriored later on in the 90s... but its starting to get its spunk back.

  go cart on steroids - 1990 Honda Civic
  By jzobie - August 7 - 2:00 am

  The car is excellent it was bought completely bare bones, there is no A/C, p/s p/w p/door locks, pass side mirror, etc. The car was just poorly cared for since day one. When I took delivery on the car it had no oil was a gallon low on coolant and the lack of attention was evident all over the car. Well i get in the car turn the key and boom it starts right up. I have driven it almost 500 miles since owning it and absolutely no motor problems. It is an absolute BLAST to drive and hopefully it will aid in getting me through the next 3 years of college.

  Excellent - 1990 Honda Civic
  By Marty D. - February 28 - 2:00 am

  I totally loved my car, enjoyed it for over 13 years. The car currently has over 222K transmission is starting to give up.. otherwise, the car never gave me any problems. It was totally reliable, I Maintained it properly. I will miss my car terribly. I have a new car, and was still using my Honda Civic DX Sedan because it was my favorite.

  Honda is good - 1990 Honda Civic
  By Johnny528 - February 15 - 2:00 am

  Has gone through mom, sister, and me for 13 years. Ive seen other reviews of LX owners complaining about the lack of horsepower. With 108 on the EX, it is adequate but still lacking. On a brighter note, this cars engine sounds like the day we bought it and it looks to last another 10 years without a hitch. It has even gone through 4 pretty severe accidents but its still going. If you want reliability, dont pass this up.

  Today is a sad day.... - 1990 Honda Civic
  By Lyle - February 13 - 2:00 am

  I have been driving my civic since it was brand new on the dealers lot 13years ago. It has been the best and most reliable car Ive ever owned. I see new vehicles on the side of the road with car trouble all the time and my civic drives on. Excellent in all weather conditions including below zero temps.. she starts up every morning and keeps going and going. Today I sold my beautiful civic for $1700 in order to upgrade to a 4door. I sure hope my new 4door CRV can give me 13 years..

  Wonderful Little Car - 1990 Honda Civic
  By Country Belle - January 7 - 2:00 am

  My husband and I bought our Honda Civic brand new in 1990 when our kids were small. It was great to drive around town and I loved the way that I could squeeze into small spaces. We took trips from Georgia to Ohio in it and never had no problems. We have had to have minor repairs on the car, but nothing real serious. Even though the inside of the car doesnt look so good anymore, it stills runs great. My husband drives it to work as it is so good on gas mileage. My daughter which is now 16 years old would love to have and drive it, but unfortunately she does not know how to drive a stick shift yet. Who knows, she may get it when she learns.

  Honda has a life long customer in me! - 1990 Honda Civic
  By Masso - September 12 - 2:00 am

  I bought my little Honda almost exactly a year ago and I was very impressed, both with its performance and the rock solid build quality. The owner before me installed a newer stronger motor before they traded it into the dealership. I still have the stock 4 spd manual and the car can give MANY cars a BIG surprise. I have showed many cars with V8s and Powerful V6s what these Hondas are truly made of. The build quality is flawless and I trust that my Honda will never leave me stranded.

  Solid - 1990 Honda Civic
  By frank70 - August 13 - 2:00 am

  Simply put, this is a very solid car. 12 years old, 140,000+ miles, starts right up and just keeps going. Very responsive (though not powerful), great handling (especially in bad weather), extremely reliable.
