This is the harsh reality of owning a 90's Honda and 5 things I HATE about these cars. In today's video I (for once) focus on the negatives of being a Honda owner rather than the rainbows and unicorns. Feelings might be hurt.

As you all know by now, I love my 1999 Honda Civic Coupe. I talk a lot about how much I enjoy owning this car and modifying it in my videos. However, there are some downsides to owning these iconic cars that I rarely talk about. So I wanted to make this video to highlight the few things I hate (some outside my control) and give some insight from a guy that's learned the hard way. This video will cover 90's Honda's as a whole (not just Honda Civics). This includes the 3 different Generations of 90's Civics (EF, EG, EK), Preludes, CRX, Del Sol, Accord, and even Acura Integra's. Pretty much anything in that popular 90's realm of Honda's!

Honda theft is one of the BIGGEST things that plagues every 90's Honda owner. These cars get stolen or parts stolen from them EVERY SINGLE DAY. Theft is one of the MOST violating things that can happen to a person and leave them with a neverending feeling of anxiety. So I talk about why Honda's get stolen and ways on how to prevent car or part theft. I've been a victim to Honda theft on several occasions and it SUCKS. So let's make the Honda world a better place and talk about why stealing Hondas is simply not worth it.

I talk about build quality and safety of these cars, but this topic is somewhat subjective. I DO think that these cars are built well for the price, but there are some downsides. Honda's are arguably some of the most modded and worked on vehicles in the world. People enjoy modifying these cars and tearing things apart to rebuild them. While the engines are the strong point of this topic, its everything else where the quality is just...Cheaper. Yes I realize that I'm being picky about a sub 20k car and that you get what you pay for. However, the body of these cars are thin and definitely not the safest cars on the market. The interiors can become brittle and break without effort. The paint is lucky to last more than 20 years, and so on.

I lastly talk about the perception of other crappy Honda's and how these cars can inevitably become money pits. I've been a 16 year kid with bad taste in the past and did not spend my money wisely. I've installed bad mods, wasted money, and cried tears over things because I cut corners. The point of me making these Honda Civic project videos is to show people how to build a clean Honda with realistic expectations. I didn't have this kind of content when I was a kid, so I hope my experience and information is passed on to make Honda's clean again. Try not to get too offended about my points in this video, I'm just very passionate about this stuff. With that said, enjoy!
