1991 Civic all wheel drive
I just looked at a somewhat unusual car for my son. A 1991 Honda Civic All Wheel Drive wagon. The letter designation is RT. It looks like the predecessor to the CR-V. Does anyone have any info on reliability for this model? It has 130K miles, which isn't too bad for the year. It is a 5 speed (actiually a six speed as it has a "super low" gear).

Here's a little write-up about it:
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Featu...articleId=68272 Doesn't say much about reliability. A bit more: http://www.smogcheck.ca.gov/StdPage.asp?Bo...fo/AllWheel.htm Some recalls: http://www.internetautoguide.com/auto-reca...base/index.html I actually owned a brand new '91 Civic hatch, CX, but it was only FWD. |
Thanks Dave. There isn't much info on these things.

The biggest problem with them is rust because most of them were sold in areas that see real winter. Check the obvious spots like the wheel wells and rocker panels. But then also pay attention to door jams, bottoms of the doors, the rear hatch, and the A-pillars if it has a sunroof.
The other problem is parts availability as the drivetrain is unique to that model and Honda did not sell too many of them. Andrew |

It weighs more than a regular Civic and would have greater driveline power loss due to the AWD. So yes, it should get worse fuel economy than a regular Civic of the same era.
Honda used to sell AWD versions of both the Civic sedan and Integra sedan in Japan up until around 1998. Andrew |
