Adequate -- But Merely That, January 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Honda Civic & CR-V Acura Integra Automotive Repair Manual (Haynes Repair Manuals) (Paperback)
The devil is in the details and this book simply lacks the details. It's not a bad deal if all you want to do is change brake lining and replace broken bulbs -- but thats about all it's good for.
It is not an acceptable reference for heavy duty repair. If you want to overhaul your engine, get the genuine factory service manual from Helms. The mechanical manual alone is expensive, but it contains more useful and accurate information than anything else out there.
So if you want to do it right, get the real factory service manual. If all you want to do really light duty stuff like brake pads, oil changes, and removing seats so that you can get a vacuum in there to clean out french fries, this book will work.

I don't think it's paid for itself..., August 12, 2003
This review is from: Honda Civic & CR-V Acura Integra Automotive Repair Manual (Haynes Repair Manuals) (Paperback)
...but that could be because I don't know too much about cars. I suppose you could get more out of it if you're a pro...
In most cases, there are better directions (including diagrams, exploded views of parts, etc.) on lots of different online sites. The 96-00 Civic is one of the most modified cars around today, and there are a thousand sites with the info you need. This manual wasn't even helpful with wiring the optional cigarette lighter/ashtray console. It's okay to have it along with the real instructions, but don't try to use it as a replacement. If you're thinking of buying this because you want to tinker with your car a little bit... don't..

honda repair book, January 5, 2012
This review is from: Honda Civic & CR-V Acura Integra Automotive Repair Manual (Haynes Repair Manuals) (Paperback)
this book isn't the best manual. Doesn't go into detail and changing parts. The picture in the manual are not that good. It just gives basic info not much more.
