  • Great car - 1994 Honda Civic
    By -

    3 years of constant driving an average of 45 miles per day never gave me any problems besides going thru a couple of clutches was never taken into the shop for mechanical problems only maintenance. The fuel mileage on this car is outstanding I usually filled the tank with 8 – 10 dollars and lasted around 360 miles a full tank. I recently sold my Honda, which after already having a new used Mitsubishi eclipse ‘99 still was hart broken when the happy new owners drove of in my Honda. I love my new car but after a month I still miss my Honda which never let me down.

  • Very fun and Sporty - 1994 Honda Civic
    By -

    I love my Civic EX, Its very fun to drive and reliabe. All I do are oil changes and the usual maintence. Has great performance for the price. Parts are also reasonably priced, not that youll every buy any (unless parts of yer car gets stolen).

  • Troublesome and uncomfortable - 1994 Honda Civic
    By -

    Uncomfortable drivers seat. Limited seat adjustments, awful slope to the back of the seat. At 80k miles the temperature selector knob failed due to a broken linkage cable behind the dash. Expensive repair required remove the entire dashboard. Entire air conditioner failed, resulting in $1,300 repair bill. ABS pump makes scary noises and the ABS idiot light flickers at times. yet dealer insists nothing is wrong. Brakes are inadequate, despite servicing from Honda who claimed they performed to specs. The factory stereo system is anemic. The 1.5L engine, even with manual transmission, is barely able to get out of its own way.

  • Econobox - 1994 Honda Civic
    By -

    Overall, OK car for a cheap daily commuter. Just dont expect much from this econobox. Weak engine, poor performance, major understeer, soft suspension, ugly 13" steel wheels, no grip 175 70R13 tires, ... Has great potential though. Many aftermarket bolt-on parts for this car if you are willing to spend the money.

  • VXs before Insights - 1994 Honda Civic
    By -

    In the aftermath of Desert Storm, Honda came out with the V-tec engine, a marvel of automotive precision and efficiency. Putting it in the little Civic proved to be a winner for fuel efficiency. Boasting 45-48 MPG, these engines were turning out specs the new gas/electric Insights and VW TDI technology are only now surpassing. If zippy performance is a key to car enjoyment, forget the VX. Its mainstrength comes at the pump when years after year of ownership will be favored by stingy fuel bills. In an era of gas-guzzling SUVs, look for the VX model for a find that will reward you with reliability and incredible fuel efficiency.

  • UNCOMFORTABLE!!! - 1994 Honda Civic
    By -

    If it wasnt for being the most uncomfortable car ever to exist, this car would be great.I have sinced sold my car because of this.It was a very reliable car, it is a shame it was so uncomfortable. The seat was so sloped it was like sitting in a hole. I started suffering from coccyx pain not long after I bought it. I had to see a physical therapist who said I will probably have this pain for the rest of my life (I am in my 20s). Now every time I drive,I am uncomfortable and have pain(and I drive a minivan). I don t think I could bring myself to ever buy a Honda again, even though they are probably one of the most reliable cars on the road.

  • Great little car - 1994 Honda Civic
    By -

    Bought mine from a private seller in April 2000 with 95,000 miles on it for $6,800. Ive been very pleased with it. Clutch went out at 115,000 miles after dropping it at high revs a few hundered times racing on it.. Today it has 138,000 miles on it and its starting to burn some oil, probably worn valve guides. Ive upgraded the ignition, intake, exhaust and camshaft. Very zippy little 1.6L engine, even stock. I love VTEC. The car has never been garage-kept in its life and the paint is still very vivid bright red. Car has lived in the rains of Miami and the salt of winters in Chicago and New Jersey and dosent have a speck of rust on her.

  • Honda-the-wonder-car - 1994 Honda Civic
    By -

    My 3rd Civic. Purchased in 1997 with 45,000 miles on it. Now has 245,000 and still gets 35-37 mpg and uses no oil. Ultra-reliable. Two clutch replacements at about 90,000 miles ea. Nothing else except preventive maintenance (brakes, tires, timing belt, etc.) Power windows and sunroof still work like new. Lived much of its life in Seattle but still no rust.

  • The most reliable car ever! - 1994 Honda Civic
    By -

    I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 6 YEARS AND ONLY HAD A FEW MINOR PROBLEMS WITH IT. IT HAS 130000 MILES ON IT AND STILL RUNS GREAT. IT IS A VERY LOW MAINTENCE CAR. IT ONLY NEEDS GAS AND OIL CHANGES. PERFECT FOR HEAVY DAILY COMMUTING. MY FAVORITE LOOKING MODEL OF THE CIVIC INTERIOR/EXTERIOR SO FAR. WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT MY EX MODEL DID NOT COME WITH A/C. HONDAS AND TOYOTAS ARE THE BEST MADE AND LONGEST LASTING CARS.
