Mourning my little Civic - 1997 Honda Civic
By I miss my little car - August 28 - 10:20 pmI recently totalled my little hatch. I blew a front tire going downhill on the freeway and hit a concrete retaining wall doing about 65 mph. My passenger and I walked away shaken, but unscathed. Im so sad! That car was my little buddy! It may not have been a fancy car, but it was reliable, fun, and above all, safe. Im buying another Civic with the money I get for my car...but I really just want the one I had. It was great!

One Major Problem, Otherwise Great - 1997 Honda Civic
By Bill - April 26 - 12:01 pmThis has been a great car. I bought it new and drive less than 10,000 miles per year. I have had a major problem with the exhaust system. I have had to have the exhaust pipe replaced twice and the muffler replaced once. I just had the pipe replaced 4000 miles ago and its beginning to rattle again. The mechanic says that short trips tend to do this to an exhaust (condensation does not have a chance to evaporate and rots the pipes) but I dont know. One minor problem is that the window fell off track and had to be replaced. Overall the car is great, and I have had no engine problems at all.

Brilliant! - 1997 Honda Civic
By Train2219 - March 26 - 3:22 pmI purchased my 97 Civic LX 5 speed when my 87 Pathfinder died w/170k on it. I purchased it used 83k on it. This car has been everything that I need it to be. Flawless reliability, outstanding fuel economy, and surprisingly fun to drive despite only having 106 horses to work with. The 5 speed manual makes all the difference in this car. Its a total dog with an autotragic transmission. I have just turned 100k and have no doubt that it will run for another 100.

gas mileage!!! - 1997 Honda Civic
By amanda=) - December 24 - 10:00 amI bought this car strictly for the gas mileage. I commute quite a bit and this was important to me. The Idea that $10 will pretty much fill your tank, and I can almost all week on that tank. that really does alot for me. I can pretty much whatever I want in it. my civic is very versitile!!!! I didnt even like it when I bought it. but I think its growing on me.

Honda = Reliability - 1997 Honda Civic
By Honda_Owner - August 6 - 2:00 amThis was my first major investment and I have no regrets with my purchase. I plan to drive this until it cant go anymore. I have had to do minimal maintenance. I added a Honda spoiler, tint and fog lights and just love the look!

Very Reliable! - 1997 Honda Civic
By Honda Lover - July 12 - 10:00 amI had one less thing to worry about! I never had any problems with the car; just its average maintenance. It was very fun to modify - there are so many new things you can to do to personalize it. I am now a Civic enthusiast!

daughters first car - 1997 Honda Civic
By djm - June 15 - 2:00 amId seen this car in the neighborhood. My wife and daughter were looking for Jeeps. This car went on the market in the morning and I knew this was the perfect car. Reliable and low maintenance. Fun but practical. I think Ill drive it around town for the economy
