  My First and only - 1997 Honda Civic
  By beavetm - September 8 - 2:00 am

  I have driving my car for over seven years and have only had it in the shop for a major repair one time. I must say that this car has got me through high school, college and beyond. It is a wonderful first car for young drivers because it looks sharp and is relatively inexpensive. I will never buy another car except a Honda in the future, but I plan to keep my Civic forever.

  Honda = Reliability - 1997 Honda Civic
  By Honda_Owner - August 6 - 2:00 am

  This 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 am

  I 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!

  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.

  daughters first car - 1997 Honda Civic
  By djm - June 15 - 2:00 am

  Id 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

  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!!!

  Review - 1997 Honda Civic
  By Twilightx - May 30 - 10:00 am

  For 1st time buyer, this car is the one. The DX model is not fast, but it holds its own straight off the line if you have a manual transmission.

  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.
