resale value? Comfortability? speed?
Very good resale value, if you are selling one, but not if you are buying one since the price could be higher than a similarly equipped Nissan or Mitsubishi.
very reliable. durable considering the fact that it's more than a decade old car.
OK naman sya... common problems include:
- Crankshaft pulley/pin damage (laking gastos, I think mga 4 na dito sa Tsikot nagkaganun including my brother in law who spent around 40K fixing that.)
- AC Idle up
- Door rust
- Upholstery tear
- Whitening of the dash/plastic panels.
But as I always say, with second hand cars, depende talaga sa previous owner.
I have none of above problems: in my experience after almost 110thou. Km.Originally Posted by theveed
- replaced radiator (w/ surplus).
- replaced timing belt x2. (freq. excursion to redline eh).
- replaced front brake pads (normal ?).
- replaced brake cylinder.
- replaced all four shocks (normal?).
BTW, still on original clutch and still drives well. but there's definitely alot more road noise now than when new. prolly coming fm. tires, worn bearing, and non-refreshening of anti-rust spray.
based sa post ni theveed, upholstery tear lang sa driver seat sakin. rust wala sa pinto bat dun sa my likod near the bumper. lahat yata ng civic na ganito e dun ang pinakamadaling kalawangin. talagand depende sa owner. btw, 1st owner ako. wla pang napalitan except sa radiator and repair kit ng master.(brake pads di pa napapalitan after 93+tkms)
