  This little car wont die - 1990 Honda Civic
  By Lmack - November 18 - 2:00 am

  I have driven this car since September 1989 and have had only minor problems: 1) Something I found out later was common to Civics of this age -- a faulty relay that caused it to not re- start on hot days after I had driven it a short time. Cost of repair: Less than $200. 2) A warped light panel in the rear of the car that affected the lighting in the rear when it rained. This was a bit more substantial but less than $400 to repair. I have done regular servicing -- not necessarily with the dealer and am craving a new car. Cant manage to do it yet as Im still getting 40 mpg and it purrs along with no problems....

  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.

  Old Faithful - 1990 Honda Civic
  By SeaKayaker - July 24 - 2:00 am

  Weve owned this car since it had 15 miles on it and still love it. We have had a string of ignition system failures (burned distributors), but I think this is behind us. We also had a vexing clutch chatter problem that Honda couldnt fix, but our local garage finally figured out. Found that if the sun roof leaks, getting the drains cleaned fixes the problem. Weve had Bridgestones, Goodyears and Michelins on the car. Michelins are best.

  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.
