1997 Honda Civic LX review from North America
"Perfect"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The "Check Engine" light came on at about 15,000 miles when it was still under warranty. The dealer said it may have ran some water or dirt through the gas since it sputtered before the light came on and the codes indicated a misfire. They tuned it up for free and it never happened again.
General comments?
This was a perfect car. I keep asking myself why I traded it in. I never paid for any repairs other than scheduled maintenance!
