My passenger mirror (automatic) is very slow, I plan to lubricate it, and if that doesn't work then it looks like a new motor, but that isn't too bad of a problem, and I have heard of many other Civic owners with the same complaint.
Other than that, nothing much has gone wrong with the car, only minor problems at this point, and I don't expect anything major.
I love this car, I am 17 and have already been thru a jeep with a bad trans., and 2 classic "beaters", and I couldn't be happier with anything other that my civic, I even turned down a Jetta for it. It's a wonderful riding car, a little bit of noise on the freeway, but that's to be expected of a small car, and its certainly peppy for a 1.6. I can't wait to see how she'll ride when I put a f20 (S200 motor) under the hood.
You have the 1997 HONDA CIVIC EX 2 doors or 4 doors?... I will buy a 5 Speed Standard 1997 HONDA CIVIC EX 4 DOORS... don't know much about the car... can anyone help give me any advice if this year model is good or not? So many thanks...
