1997 Honda Civic LSi review from UK and Ireland
"An all round good bargain performer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replacement of brake pads at 70,000 miles.
No major faults.
General comments?
Handles well.
Good acceleration and had 120mph top speed even though limiter set to 112mph.
Looking to modify already taken wheels from standard 14'inch to 16'inch alloys with 205/45 tyres.
I am a complete honda fanatic and would greatly recommend buying this car unless you have the money to go one better and get the 1.6vti model which I am looking to get next.
With a bit of work this car can be doubled in from its 115bhp.
