Purchasing 95 Civic DX

Hi, I'm new to Honda Civic and am going to look at a 95 DX. Are there consistent significant problems with this make/model I should be looking for with engine/trans/cooling/other that I should be aware of and look for ?

Honda makes a solid car..i think it would be a good purchase depending on the asking price, miles etc..

Look at how many miles are on the car in relation to any mechanical work done on it in the past. 200,000 miles and never had a head gasket changed? Guess who might be changing a head gasket soon? Or even more, trying to find a new engine because of blown rings or scrapped bearings? If you buy it, that's you. Not trying to scare you, it's just what happened to me, and I like the car enough and I'm too stubborn to admit defeat.
Best of luck!
