  • Money well spent! - 1997 Honda Civic

    I have owned 2 new civic. The first civic lasted for 221,000 miles in 10 years. My second civic has 160,000 miles on it in 7 years and does not show any signs of slowing down. They are and were worth more to me than the sticker price I paid for them. Reliability is the best feature of the civic. They are not the fanciest vehicle out there but they cover every base very well for the everyday person or the traveling type.

    The only problem I had, was the radio & CD player. The CD player is a 6-CD changer in trunk. The connecting cable becomes loose at the radio & makes the CD player fade in & out. This has been repaired 4 times & is now starting to act up again. The rest of the car has been great.I realy like the fuel economy, it averages 42-HWY. 33-CTY. Also the AC will freeze even the hottest person.

  • My Civic is the bomb! - 1997 Honda Civic
    By -

    I bought my Civic when it was a year old and have loved it every day sense. I moved to Hawaii and could not part with it, so it took a cruise over and made it fine. Ive never had a problem with it, outside of the drivers side window getting stuck last year (although this may have to do with after-factory tint I had put on at that time) and this was easily fixed. I wish it had more power going up mountains, but it is worth it to have the awesome gas mileage (30 - 34 mpg even with city driving). I love my car and have not once regretted this purchase. It has never let me down.

  • Great First Car - 1997 Honda Civic

    This is the first car I bought on my own. I have been really happy with it. The reliability is fantastic, nothing frustrates me more than bringing my car into the shop. When I have my second child Ill have to trade this one in, two kids and a Golden Retriever would not fit comfortably in the back seat. Hey, maybe Ill save it for when my kid can drive. Its got a lot of years left in it!

    Im writing this review if only to get through my mourning of the loss of my 1997 Honda Civic EX... I was hit and the car was totaled and Im thinking of suing for emotional distress. Gawd I loved that car.

  • HARDY HONDA - 1997 Honda Civic
    By -

    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.

  • Overall a excellent vehicle to drive - 1997 Honda Civic
