Oxygen Sensor went out and caused "Check Engine Light" to come on.
A good deal of rattles.
Tailpipe is rusting pretty severely.
We also have a 1997 VW Jetta and both my wife and I prefer it to the Civic. The Honda is economical and performs fairly well, but like other Hondas doesn't have a lot of personality. I think we're going to either get a Mazda or a Subaru next go around... or another Volkswagen...
One thing I don't like about the Civic is that the seats are poorly padded. they're also narrow. I'm very thin and I can hardly imagine someone with a larger posterior fitting it into the seats in this car.
Mazdas are sweet and so much fun to drive... go for one of those.
That's what they said in 1997, 2001, 2004, and now 2006. Mazdas are better than the Civic. But the Civic has held together better in the years than the Mazdas. Guess the critics are just full of it.
Get a Subaru, they are fun, and also reliable!!
