honda civic esi

[yudyin]

what are the differences of honda civic esi's? preferably automatics ('93, '94, '95)

[squala]

92-94 ESi - no 3rd brake light, no defogger, 13" mags only
95 - more colors, 14" mags, defogger, 3rd brake light

All don't have cupholders, center consoles, split-fold rear seats, airbag and ABS, but most of them do feature rust on the roof and fender.

Also not very good friends with a Pajero!

Kalawangin po ang civic esi, half-open pa yung rear window

so if you were to buy an esi for just 100k in good condition you wouldn't buy it?

thanks for your replies guys, planning to buy d esi of my friend that's why... :P

I used to own 94 esi...i sold it to my friend. he is still driving it and still working fine...one click start..no problem with idling..still smooth.

as one member posted, esi roof is prone to rust. thats the bad part of it.

but if you can get a good condition esi...i think it will be great...good power, ride. my esi had 3rd breaklight standard..but no rear defogger. i bought that optional cup holder..nice car overall.

what part of the roof are there initial signs of rusting? just want to know where to look... :P

could someone post the rust problem of the esi? I'm encountering rust problem on the 96 vti also. thanks

Double, post.

I've heard 93 models were still SKD units from Japan with black top engine,
while 94-95 had the silvertop engine and with more local parts already including windshields, also assembled locally na at the Honda plant in Laguna.

I'm encountering rust problem on the 96 vti also. thanks

I've noticed nga two of our neighbor's 96 vti/lxi also having the roof rust problem. Seems to start coming out when the car turns 10yrs.
