1997 Honda Civic LS review from UK and Ireland
"Speedy bargain machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far. Only had it a few weeks.
General comments?
The best feature of this car is the engine. It is very economical, but get it above 4000 rpm and it just rockets.
The interior is a let down (slide controls for ventilation, but it looks good from the outside (fat, low profile tyres).
Feels solid and composed around town and on twisty B-roads.
