1997 Honda Civic EX review from North America
"Good car but a little disapointed in some of the repairs."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both passenger and driver power windows broke. One was under warranty, the other was not. One was at about 40,000 miles the other at about 65,000 miles.
My transmission started making a bad noise in 2nd gear at 80,000 miles.
My clutch started to make a noise at 88,000 miles. Had both problems fixed for about 1,200 dollars.
General comments?
The car handles o.k. It's quick enough. Road noise is pretty loud, but I won't fall asleep, so I do not mind.
