Re: Just got 93 civic lx
 

My wife has been driving a 93 Civic EX for the past 5 years, and all I
can say about this car is nothing but negative comments.

Underpowered, noisy, rattles, vibrating, and not exactly 30 mpg gas
mileage; but that may be due to the 130K miles it has on it.

Auto or manual transmission? 1.5 liter or 1.6 liter?

Everything else you mention is reflected in the low price of the Civic, as far
as I am concerned.

>but that may be due to the 130K miles it has on it.

How's the maintenance been on it over these 130k miles?

The long-life of Honda engines is not something reflected in the low price.

Sorry you're not happy with the car. :-(

Re: Just got 93 civic lx
 

I checked it out and the mounts seem fine, the vibration was just new to me
and I hear that it is a normal thing so I guess I'll just have to get used
to that.
