1997 Honda Civic VTi review from UK and Ireland
"A high performance reliable fast car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with this car.
I have to change the cam-belt, but that's part of the service when it became 5 years old and the cam-belt was really cheap for a Japanese car.
General comments?
This car is very fast and have had not much competition as of yet.
I took the car on a test track and got just short of 147mph which is not even on the clock.
The seats are very comfortable and very stylish.
