  The Honda Civic is simply the best car in its class. Super reliable, low maintenance, awesome gas milages and very stylish look. You can do so much to upgrade this baby!

  Wonderful vehicle, I love it! Only negative comment is the paint on the red models wears out fast, but thats the colors fault, not the car!

  Good fun - 1997 Honda Civic
  By austin_engr - April 4 - 2:00 am

  Ive had a 97 Civic EX coupe for about three weeks now, and Ive been generally happy with it so far. The build quality is excellent, and even at high speeds on the freeway the car feels quite solid. Road noise is a tad high. Last week I replaced the OEM Firestone tires with new Michelins, and the road noise dropped to half. My car has a stickshift, which is fun to drive, and has cruise control too. Unfortunately, there is no ABS option with the stickshift models. Except for these minor gotchas, the Civic is a great buy overall.

  Best car I ever had - 1997 Honda Civic
  By SMHuskie - November 21 - 2:00 am

  7th year with this car. I bought it new in 97 and have put 160000 miles on it. It has never had a major problem and still runs like it has 30,000 miles on it. Still no creeks, rattles or clunks and the car is still more firm feeling than any American car I ever owned. I made it 90,000 miles on the original tires, 150,000 miles on the original brakes (and still had some left to go). Im itching for a new car but this one acts like it can go another 100,000 without breaking a sweat. Couldnt ask for a better mode of transportation- cheap on gas, insurance, tires and Ive put 10 lumber in a 2 door coupe (thanks to the 60/40 fold down). Just awesome!

  My civic is the first car i bought, the aftermarket for this car is crazy. There is so much to do with this car. The vtec is great to i wish a had the cash for the SiR though. My car gets good gas mileage, (better than any american performance car).

  Great Car for The Price - 1997 Honda Civic
  By SSS - February 26 - 9:50 am

  This car gets fantastic mileage averaging 32 miles per gallon in city driving. The hatchback offers a lot of space considering its compact size (always easy to find parking)! Great performance without a high price tag.

  Awesome car - 1997 Honda Civic
  By buckeyedrifter86 - January 21 - 9:37 pm

  This was my first car. I bought it when I was 16 and kept for 9 years and simply needed a change. This is a car for anyone, be it your first car, a project car, or a commuter car. By no means was the car fast, but it took corners like it was on rails and it was very lively; especially compared to V6/V8 Toyota/Lexus that my parents own. My only grip was the placement of the cup holders. To access them, you would have to open a flap which in turn covered the slot to the CD/tape player. Great car to blast around a track and the best part was I still got solid gas mileage regardless of how aggressively I drove. Very easy/cheap to repair, own, and soup up. Very sad that Honda doesnt make their cars like this anymore.
