Overview
This year, 1979, marks the last of the first generation Honda Civics. The year brought only a few changes to the Civic or CVCC, mostly just an increase in horsepower to 55.
People are still driving it — even now. In fact, last year, someone commented that his '79 Honda Civic was the most "functional and utilitarian vehicle" he'd ever owned and he compared it to a workhorse, calling it "a faithful, sturdy, always capable, and sure-footed little vehicle."
All drivers of the Honda Civic love its gas efficiency, its reliability, and its amazing ability to keep on going, though alternator replacements, new engines, and more.

This was the worst car I ever owned. Problems started a week after I bought it. The rear wheel bearings were grinding and the dealer would not believe me. I brought it in 5 times before the stupid car made the noise in front of them. They kept telling me I was crazy and imagining it. They finally had to eat their words. It was a semi-automatic and had no pep at all. I was afraid every time I drove it. At the end I had to put in a quart of oil every time I gassed up. What a nightmare. I know Hondas are supposed to be great cars but I sure got a lemon. Still won't buy a Honda because of this car.
