Pros: Cheap to get and keep, spacious, easy parking, cheap insurance, fun to drive
Cons: Too low, mufflers don't last, seats not too comfortable. Disbelieving looks from drivers I pass!
The Bottom Line: It's the FUEL ECONOMY, stupid! This is one of the great used car buys, DO IT!
My Honda is an '89 but Epinions has no category for this model year, so here it is under 1990. My beloved Baby Blue has a manual transmission with almost 230,000 miles on it, and it still gets 40-45 mpg on the highway, and 25-30 mpg in L.A. stop-n-crawl...

I bought a Honda Civic Si brand new in 1990 and I was very saddened by it's death in 1992 when I was in an accident and my car was totalled.
My car was a 5-speed and everything on it was STANDARD except for the air conditioning and the radio....

Pros: Economical, Sporty, and Reliable

The Bottom Line: I was thoroughly impressed by this car, and consider it one of the best auto purchases I have made in years.
I recently purchased a 1990 Honda Civic 3 Door Hatchback from a local used car dealer. I was not immediately attracted to this car, but after a test drive up the meanest canyon in Utah (Parley's), I was convinced it was a great car. This is always my...

Pros: Affordable, great gas mileage, reliable, practical
Cons: Safety, small
The Bottom Line: For someone who doesn't need anything flashy and just need something that can get them around at a great price this is an ideal car.

Pros: Cute, Roomy, Fairly Economical, Si model is sporty
Cons: None!
The Bottom Line: If you need a reliable daily-driver go for this car! If you want to fix up a car, go for the Civic! It's a great car all around!
The answer to the above question? More than you'd think.
We have a 1990 Honda Civic Si. That is the sports-issue edition of the Civic, which was originally intended to be a purely economical car. However, Honda quickly noticed that their...

Pros: reliable, economical,fun to drive

The Bottom Line: Buy one, especially an Si. You can't go wrong with the Civic.
I had a 1990 Civic Si which I purchased new in November 1990. The Si is the sport edition of the economical Civic hatchback. It's not just sportier in looks, but it also has a slightly larger motor as well.
The car was extremely roomy inside...

Pros: Economical, "Roomy", Reliable.
Cons: Defrost Problem, Noisy
I bought my little civic in 1993. It was 3 years old at the time and seemed to be in great shape. Since that time I have put 100K miles and it has only required regular oil and filter changes a tune up and new brakes. Pretty much what you could expect...

Pros: Won't die, fun car (when it's low enough on miles)
Cons: Won't die, looses it's "guts" at 300k miles
The Bottom Line: Really reliable car, cheap and easy to work on, won't die, but don't buy it if it's over 300k miles
This car won't die for anything, I mean anything! It has almost 400k miles and still works (sorta). it has trouble on the freeway getting up to speed, but it can hold the speed once it reaches it. We've had this car for a good 5 years now and it has ...

The Bottom Line: If you're short on cash and don't mind a slow driver, choose this reliable compact car.
I owned a 1990 Civic for 12 years. On the whole, it was a tremendously dependable and enjoyable car. Only after 225,000 miles did it fail to start. When I sold it, it had the original engine, transmission, drive train, and electrical system. The only...

I bought my '90 Hatchback as a commuter being that I drive 100 miles a day 3 days a week to San Diego and back. I paid a mere $2800 for it when I bought it and since it's a Honda I can sell it anyday for more than I have in it! I do have several...

This review might be a bit dated, but I wanted to share so that all would know that the Civics are good, dependable cars.
My 1990 Honda Civic was my first car, I bought it secondhand off of my mom. This car was the best. I put so many miles...
