1997 Honda Civic EX 2dr review from North America
"Affordability and performance all in one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There have been a few minor problems with the car. The battery needs to be replaced, the drivers front headlight lens has water in it which makes it tacky and the front brake rotors have started to warp.
General comments?
So far this car has been an absolute blast to drive! It gets 30mpg in mixed driving and 35-38 in highway which is great. It also has the VTEC engine that adds a little bit of zip to it. The 5 speed transmission is very smooth and responsive.
