3.0 out of 5 stars Good help for Civics in general, but not for 92-95 ones., November 12, 1997

This review is from: Honda Civic, CRX, and Del Sol, 1984-95 Repair Manual (Chilton Automotive Books) (Paperback)

I was looking for help for my 94 Civic.

Good:
- Clear diagrams/illustrations.
- Clear index.

Bad:
Compared with the diagrams shown for other years of Civic, I'd say there are fewer diagrams and illustrations for the 92-95 one. For example, the book shows a diagram on removing the fan/heating switch from the front panel of a model before 92, but no diagram for the 92-95 one. Also some terms used in the illustrations are not explained clearly, so I was not sure which part(s) they're referring to.

I'd rate this book better if it included a better help for the 92-95 model.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor graphics, lack of detail, poor coverage of all models., October 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Honda Civic, CRX, and Del Sol, 1984-95 Repair Manual (Chilton Automotive Books) (Paperback)

This was disappointing. The "Total Car Care" repair manual had non-detailed drawings instead of photos leaving you with only a vague idea of where the part that you are looking for is in relation to the rest of your car. The text was about as good as the graphics... it could have been more detailed and/or descriptive. Another probelm was that the graphics gave only a single example of the procedure being described (as shown for the '84-'87 CRX... not very helpful to orient you to a 95 Civic). Compared to the other manuals that I have seen (Haynes and Clymer mostly) this one left alot to be desired at about twice the price. This one will give you a ballpark idea of what you will need to do to fix your Honda, but I would consider purchasing a single-model specific repair manual at a cheaper price.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad Reference!!, October 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Honda Civic, CRX, and Del Sol, 1984-95 Repair Manual (Chilton Automotive Books) (Paperback)

This book is chock full of errors. I don't have any faith in the contents of this book. Color codes of wires are incorrect in troubleshooting areas, and there is poor coverage of all model years, especially newer ones. The book tells you what fault codes are but it does not tell you how to access them. I own two Hondas and I end up using the internet to get the information this book, more often than not, neglects to include. Purchase at your own risk -- it's too bad that it is the only book on the market for many Honda models.
