How reliable is the 92 honda civic hatch?

He want to trade for my 99 ram the car has a fresh b20 vtec with a gsr transmission and i'm wondering if it would be worth it or if I should see what other offers come. He also said almost every mechanical part in the car is new.

Don't trade unless you know what you are getting yourself into. You'll never know if the "built" car was half a**ed or not, especially a frankenstein build like a b20Vtec.

The hatch itself is pretty reliable. Its' only function is to open and close. The rest of the car is so-so.

Almost every mechanical part is new

I think you should go for saloon instead of a hatch.
