Overview & Reviews

Honda deletes the Civic EX Coupe five-speed with ABS model. DX models receive new wheel covers, all 1997 Honda Civic trims get 14-inch wheels, and the LX Sedan gets air conditioning.

• Fun, affordable, and good looking.

• Why are anti-lock brakes only offered on models with an automatic transmission?

  reliable econo-car - 1997 Honda Civic
  By rh&sw - November 3 - 2:00 am

  Weve had this car for over 6 years now. Bought it new. The car is very reliable. It gets decent mileage. Avg about 27MPG in mixed city/hwy. The only problem was the battery failed at about 5 years. This is normal I suppose.

  This is an excellent car, and a great value. I havent had a SINGLE problem with this car. Granted, I am very good at keeping the regular maintenance schedule.

  HARDY HONDA - 1997 Honda Civic
  By John on Long island - September 9 - 2:00 am

  So Far I have 148,000 miles on my Civic DX. So far. The only money I spent on it are for Oil Changes, 2 sets of Brakes. and I just changed into my 3rd set of tires. (I could still get 20K more out of them. but always play it safe to make up for the lack of ABS brakes). Other than that.. CANT ASK for a BETTER CAR.

  Cant Ask for More - 1997 Honda Civic
  By Andie - August 28 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Civic EX brand new in 97 and I still love it. Its about time to move on to something with a bit more comfort - been trying and make it to the Acura dealership to look but somehow I just dont want to part with my Honda. It has given me almost no problems in 6 years (drivers side window got stuck once about 3 years ago replaced the alternator 2 years ago) - otherwise its been a very reliable car. Love the exterior styling and the interior layout. The 5- speed is fun to drive except in stop & go traffic - next car will definitely be an automatic for this reason only!

  A Lesson In Reliability - 1997 Honda Civic
  By heath4braves - August 22 - 2:00 am

  I sold my Nissan Xterra, a huge, lumbering hulk of a car when compared to my Civic. I bought a 1997 Honda Civic LX. Can I say WOW?? I understand now why accolades are always tossed to Honda. It is THE BEST car I have ever had (Nissan, Dodge, Buick, Ford, Lincoln, Crysler all included in auto predecessors). It is small, but surprisingly roomy. True to the Honda name, reliability is standard. You cant go wrong.

  Excellent car - 1997 Honda Civic
  By TS3 - August 14 - 2:00 am

  I have had this car since 1997 and am ready to buy a new one but this one keeps going. Great car, I am at 178000 miles and on the original timing belt. Only replacement I have done is the distributor about 10000 miles ago. I drive this car hard everyday mixed city/highway driving. No complaints
