Pros

It's built complex, yer simple.

Cons

Interier noise, tires etc. big factor. But it happens in many front wheel drives.

Reliable, And Well Thought Of. — For a straight 4 cylinder engine, with 2.2 liters, it's gives a reasonable amount of power. But still, made on fuel economy, unlike some newer models with a V6 3.0 Liter engine! So yeah, the tyranny also comes with a sport, and what I believe is a 4, or 5 speed, which is now failing on me, and jumping, with more than 300,000 Km which I'll soon replace, along with many other things, but you could see it's a long lasting car, that's easy to fall in love with!

Pros

It's a Honda.  Fun to drive.  Solid.  Fuel mileage is excellent.

Cons

This one is older, so it has some normal aging problems.

Back To The Honda — Firstly, is the overall concept that it is a Honda. The fuel mileage in a car that is not only fun to drive, but low maintenance and comfortable. If I never sell this, so much the better. For the money: carefree as it gets.

Pros

It should have gotten decent gas mileage, mine wasn't impressive, but i'm sure it did when it was new.

Cons

There are much better $800 rust buckets out there

25

Even If It Had Been New, It Wasn't My Type Of Car — I'm sure this car had its better days, but I never liked it a bit. It was a hand-me- down rust bucket from my brother. It was a brown/tan color, rusted out, and dirty, but it got me to school throughout high school. The engine had a sensor issue where it pulsated at idle, and the brakes never had much pressure, even after bleeding them. I was very happy to get rid of this car.

It'll Get You There — I put 32k miles on in a year and a half. Only had to replace the muffler, and driver's side door latch seized shut (not an easy fix), on this 20 year old car. Otherwise a reliable car. Much quieter and smoother ride compared to what I am used to, but not as lively and fun either.

1990 Cb7 5spd — This is a great fun car to drive. Since it's a Honda, it's also very easy to modify. The gas is great since mine was a 5 speed. Easy handling and a great solid engine. The interior was ok, but i would have changed it out.
