Re: MT compares 8 compacts [lilengineerboy]
"I also think its so odd to me that after growing up in Southern California and seeing most Hondas as aspirational vehicles I'd want to own, the Civic really does nothing for me, nor the new Accord, for that matter." I am from one of those "Honda families". I have two cousins with 25+ years as Honda mechanics, my brother-in-law has worked in a Honda/Acura body shop for 21 years and ... Read More

Re: service for 15 year old del sol [late2ride]
Mechanical parts are still plentiful because the engine/transmission and most major components were shared with other Civic models. The '93 del Sol came in two trim levels- S, which shared mechanicals with the Civic DX/LX and the Si, which had the engine/transmission from the Civic EX/Si. I checked several sites and new body parts are also still readily available. For an 18-yr old vehicle, using a site such as car-part.com to ... Read More

Clunkers and Car Prices-
Yes, this Car Clunker program has given consumers less room for negotiation. Before all of this, car dealers were calling me, and believe it or not, I know someone who got a Honda Civic LX 2009 for $13,500. I know of someone else who got the SUV for $17,100. Now I'm lucky if I can get the Honda Civic LX for $17,000 and that's without the sales tax. Sigh!!! I do ... Read More

Honda Civic Vs. Chevy Beretta
Was wondering what your choice would be. Never owned a Honda. I have to decide between a 1991 Honda Civic or 1987 Chevy Beretta. The Civic has 168,000 miles on it. Engine/trans good. Needs front ball joints. Test drived - not bad! Little rust and no dents. Asking $775. 1987 Chevy Beretta has 136,000 miles and some rust. The brakes felt damp (small line where it seeps out a connector) - ... Read More

Re: Question about 2006 Civic GX Wheel Sizes [99civiccng]
What are the full specs on the tire/wheel sizes of the two vehicles? For example, my 1991 Dodge came with 195/70-14 tires, but an alternate size listed on the door sticker was 205/60-15 (which of course required new 15 inch wheels). These two tires have the same outside diameter so the speedometer and odometer would read the same. 195/70-14 OD in inches = (195 mm)(1 in/25.4mm)(0.7)(2) + 14 = 24.74 in ... Read More

Re: Interesting.... [aviboy97]
My point was that Honda over estimated its mpg. I always thought 30/40 was a bit far fetched. I really do not believe everyone who was saying that they were getting 35-40+ mpg.The new EPA adjusted estimates are more in line with what the car really does. Still, the 2.0L Mazda get fuel economy right on par with Honda's 1.8L while producing more power. Granted, its not much, just a few ... Read More

So there! Does that answer your questions now? Actually, no, it doesn't. But it does show me where you're basing your opinion. You are saying Honda has a lot more "value for the money" because Hondas are all you know about. You have never had any experience with Mazda, and you're relying on supposition and personal subjectiveness to make your point. I've purchased five vehicles in the Protege/Mazda3 line since 1991. ...

BTW, I've owned Toyota and Honda products as well. I wonder if legalpenguin has owned all three as well, so he can speaketh from experience and not just hearsay. And yes, this IS a comparison ...

Civic too high!

Re: Honda Civic SI 1/4 mile at 15.2 seconds [filmnews]

Honda Civic SI 1/4 mile at 15.2 seconds
The 1991 Mustang GT stock had a 0-60 time in 7.3 seconds and its 1/4 mile time was 15.6 seconds. So, this means that the SI will be very close to this time. The 2002 Acura RSX Type-S runs a 1/4 mile time of 14.8 seconds. This car has 200 HP, not the current 210. So, I think that the Si will run pretty close to a 15.2. I got this ... Read More

Re: 1991 Honda Civic LX pricing? [isellhondas]

Re: 1991 Honda Civic LX pricing? [acuraman15]
10,000 miles is the MINIMUM oil change interval. That is under ideal driving conditions. I know I would never let a car go that long. I get it done at 4000 miles.

Re: 1991 Honda Civic LX pricing? [acuraman15]
The 3700 mile oil change is if you use petrolium oil. I use nothing but Amsoil. It beats Mobil 1, Castrol, Havoline, Quakerstate and anything you can throw at it. Dealers hate it because they lose a lot of money. With Amsoil 0W30 you can drive 1 year or 35,000 miles before needing to drain the oil. It's recommended that you use the SDF oil filters.

Hi! Your personal experience with American vehicles is, for the most part, positive to say the least. My family, myself included, have had terrible luck with American vehicles; vehicles that are supposed to be on the more reliable side of American automotive manufacturing. Ford, Dodge and Chevy trucks to mention a few. We were plagued by electrical and transmission problems mostly. My father bought an accord in 1991 and never looked ... Read More

Introduction
Hi, I'm Karin from California and I own a 1991 Honda Civic sedan. It's been the most reliable and fuel-efficient car I've ever owned-- I'm at 144,000 miles and still using my original clutch. I recently had my very first breakdown at 11 years and 143,600 miles. I have a five-speed manual transmission and get about 34mpg city/36-40 highway (depends whether my air conditioner is running). If you live in the ... Read More

Honda built in USA
My old honda accord (1990) is built in Japan and I got 280,000 miles out of it (most of it highway). I sold it and is still drivable. The only problem I had when I sold it is a heating proplem after my radiator hose broke and the car overheated. My friend has an accord 1991 and built in Japan with 340,000 miles on it (highway). My new civic 2001 lx ... Read More

catalytic converter
Hi Everyone, I own a 1991 Honda Civic HB STD with 150k miles on it. I'm trying to order a cat. converter from JC Whitney but they need to know some spec's which even the Stevens Creek Honda parts dept. personnel (San Jose, CA) doesn't know. So if you know the following, I'd really appreciate some feedback! * Is it a single in/out or dual in/out? With single or dual air ... Read More

justin: REAL people also say they love their Hyundais and their Hondas. It is very hard to be objective when reviewing a vehicle that you are personally paying money for. Maybe that's why we should look to quality surveys like Consumer Reports, Strategic Vision, and JD Power. Saying that Hondas are tinny and overpriced is an unfair and unjustified statement. Do not get me wrong I can recognize the Jetta as ... Read More

Honda vs Hyundai
When buying our car we tested the civic lx and the elantra . The civic with a 1.6L 106hp was a very good car. It handeled well , accelerated very well (for its class) and it was a good buy for the price . The huyndai had the same features as the civic but it had a 2.0L 123? hp ( I cant recall the hp but its in the 120-130) ... Read More

Okay... let's read the fine print of these links. If you just go by initial impressions you may think the Hyundai is just as reliable. But if you look at the problems that the Civic had they are all insignificant and relatively inexpensive to fix compared to the car's value. The Hyundai on the other hand has costly repairs that cost more than the car is worth. Example: 1991-1993 Honda Civic's ... Read More

How Long?
Albizu, How long do you intend to keep this car. As much as I love our Golf (it's our third VW in 10 years), I don't believe it will hold up as long as a Honda Civic. YMMV, of course. If this is a 3-4 year fling, OK, go with your heart. If it's a 150-200K mile journey, buy a Honda. Of course, the Honda will still require maintenance, and Honda ... Read More
