  • Civic's Lesson

    Though I drove a '77 Toyota longbed five speed for 25 years with few repairs, I finally sold it when I had a chance to buy a '90 Honda Civic Wagon, five speed from an older woman who was tired of shifting gears.

    Though the Civic has 160,000 miles, it runs beautifully and uses no oil.  I love the car because of its great economy and the way it still drives like it is hardly broken in.  I prefer the shifting on the old Toyota, but the Civic is practical, economical, and comfortable.  My only regret is that Honda no longer makes a Civic wagon. And I do wonder why.

    I don't plan to buy a new car since my Civic Wagon is very cherry.  It is so much more useful than the Morris but is fun to drive.

    I know we are supposed to believe in progress, but the '90 Civic Wagon is a classic. On Umbra on used cars posted 4 years, 1 month ago 16 Responses
