Howdy!
I just got an 02 Civic LX 5 speed. Frankly I've been too long with no Honda in my life so I'm REAL happy to be back in the Civic world.
My previous nightmare was an 02 Hyundai Accent I LIVED under that disaster almost every day for 9 months until the automatic transmission started to fail. I was going to convert the vehicle to a standard transmission but 2 days before the tranny was delivered the engine broke the timing belt (I had replaced the timing belt over the summer).
Before the Hyundai I had a Mitsubishi Lancer and it was fine, I really had no major complaints about that vehicle but I wrapped it around a tree and got rather stuck with the Hyundai.
SO WTH!? This is a CIVIC forum... I'm getting there...
Before the Lancer I had a Canadian 1993 Civic 3 door DX 5 speed. Best car I have EVER owned! PERIOD. It got 49.8 MPG, but unfortunately it lost compression in cylinder 3 and I just got tired of fixing it so I traded it in for the 06 Lancer.
I have kicked myself in the butt every time I think about giving up that car.
Previous to the 93 DX I was overseas and didn't have a car at all, but before my worldly treks I had as my first car an 84 Civic Wagon.
Any way, I'm not a mechanic by trade, but I am very familiar with car repair and fairly well tooled. Looks like it's a good thing too, because I'm broke and my 02 Civic needs some repairs. Looking forward to interacting with this Forum.
I'll post a thread with the current issues I'm up against in one of the other subs.
