1997 Honda Civic SR 5 door review from UK and Ireland
"Wolf in sheep's clothing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator needed replacing due to a bad jump start.
Exhaust back-box needed to be replaced.
Front tyres needed replacing after 14,000 miles.
General comments?
Enjoyable car to drive.
The suspension is set a little hard, I assume for better handling.
A fast car with understated styling.
