Looking at buying an EG, quick couple of Q's

[Manusdei]

Hi all,

First off, I'm new to these forums, so be easy on me :P

I'm currently thinking of buying a used 94 EG Civic, and have a couple of quick Q's about them in general...

First off, the clutch on the car, was extremely light, and every time i depressed the pedal, there may have been a slight rattle/metal on metal grinding noise (unable to confirm 100% if this was every time, as it had an annoyingly loud exhaust system, which I'll prolly take off...) What is the most likely cause of such a noise? Are these cars prone to having clutch issues? How hard is it to change the clutches in these cars? (Keep in mind i have very little mechanical knowledge when it comes to 1:1 scale cars - I'm into my remote control cars...)

The sunroof on the car wouldnt open by its self, i had to push it up first, is this normal? (never had a sunroof in a car...) would close by itself fine though...

Are Civics a reliable car? I currently drive approx 20kms to work and another 20k back every day, and dont have another reliable way of getting to work, So it is very important the car be reliable...further on that note, what are the common faults on these cars?

Thanks for all the advice in advance, really appreciate it!
