  Great Used Car - 1997 Honda Civic
  By GoGators - July 6 - 2:00 am

  Bought this car from a high school buddy with 78k miles. Put in some fresh plugs, runs great. 5 spd tranny is essential. I fully expect to get another 100k miles out of this puppy with minor repairs. Drove 300 miles going 75-80mph with the AC blowing and still got 32 mpg (205 size tires!). Im sure without the AC at a slower speed you could easily get mid 30s.

  Car of the times! - 1997 Honda Civic
  By markerickson - July 2 - 2:00 am

  Better real world gas mileage than the the other four seat hybrid competitors: 37 in the city and 44 on the Highway. I get closer to 40/45 because I overinflate the tires slightly and Im easy on the throttle. With Hondas reliability, its like driving for free! Great car in these $2-3 per gallon times.

  love it! - 1997 Honda Civic
  By jevans - June 14 - 2:00 am

  This was my first new car and I love it! I agree with the other review about road noise... but thats about the only flaw. My next purchase will probably be an Accord or Acura. So durable, I drive it like a pickup. And for such a "small" car, it has a ton of cargo space... moved to and from college in it. love it, love it, love it!!!

  Best car Ive ever owned, period. - 1997 Honda Civic
  By NWTransplant - May 30 - 2:00 am

  Ive had mine since 3,300 miles and couldnt be happier. No reliability issues whatsoever. Built like a fine Swiss watch. Follow the maintenance schedule according to the owners manual (as I do) and the car reward you with amazingly trouble-free motoring. If deprived of my Civic, I would immediately seek another one just like it with no hesitation. Its like a premium motorcar in a smaller, less expensive package.

  The Civic - 1997 Honda Civic
  By Weasel661 - April 21 - 2:00 am

  My Civic was the second car I ever bought, and it is really fun to drive, It isnt the fastest car out there, but it sure is not the slowest. I really enjoy my Civic, and am extremely glad that I bought it!

  As Good as Any Honda - 1997 Honda Civic
  By FinalHeven - April 11 - 2:00 am

  This car is just what youd expect in a Honda. It gets great gas mileage and plenty of power. There have been some minor annoyances with sounds and accessories, but nothing major. When I drove my car after a very cold night the thermostat broke and caused the car to overheat, but there was no damage besides the broken piece. I had the side panels repaired after someone hit me in a parking lot and now it looks better than it did before it was hit, though the doors creak a little. Overall a really good used car and one that is well worth the $4800 I paid for it.

  Dont want to give up - 1997 Honda Civic
  By partingsweetsorrow - April 9 - 2:00 am

  Fell in love with car from moment saw and first drove it.Searched for Hondas due to reliabilty and high fuel ecomony. This car is great for city and/or suburbia. Love having a manual but soon give up sadly to a condition that allows me to drive automatic at maximum. I intend to find another Honda. I had to replace muffler,due to the large amount of erosion caused in Chicago winters, and an unavoidable pothole/debris incident (Chicago streets -{ hurt radiator but the new one will outlast the engine YEARS from now if possible. I adore paying so little in comparison once every 2 weeks for gas even for a job that requires me to drive daily!

  One of the best... - 1997 Honda Civic
  By MrBusiness TT - April 5 - 2:00 am

  There are cars that get better fuel economy (but only a handful that seat four people), and there are more powerful cars, but only the HX delivers 115 HP in 2324 lbs with fuel economy over 40 MPG. The best of efficiency and reliability. A liitle noisy due to lack of sound deadoning material (which saves weight).
