1997 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"High quality, reliable vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had no problems with this car yet.
General comments?
The car does get lower gas mileage than quoted, but still good.
It doesn't have a lot of power, but what do you expect from a 1.6L 4 cylinder.
It handles great when your going around turns quickly, it is very responsive.
The interior is very well laid out, and I like the folding rear seats.
I also think the engine is very reliable, all you have to do is give it the regular check up and it will last you even after your done paying for it, which I think is a great deal.
Everything I've heard about how Honda's are great, reliable cars is true so far.
I plan on keeping it for a long time.
