How reliable is a 1993 Honda Civic?

[William08]

I guess what I was asking is: How was that year overall for those cars? I’ve heard of some civics accruing 600,000 miles; have you heard the same stories? That’s all. I know a 25 year old car is not reliable in the sense that it’s a 25 year old car. But this Civic only has 178,000 miles on it, or the odometer rolled over. In either case, I’ve had it a month and all ready put 1500 miles on it, so I was just wondering what to look for to keep it going until I can afford something newer. Timing belt problems for example. Should I get a preventative timing belt change?
