"A high-matiance great-potential traction-addicting speed-pleasing wallet-busting beauty.. GO 1997+"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Thought I bought a great car, it was a true gem when purchased and I treat my cars like gold.

57000 miles - passenger wheel bearing

57000 miles - drivers axle

57000 miles - clutch pedal

59000 miles - clutch slave cylinder

60000 miles - AWD transmission clicking (needs rebuild - but still drives OK)

60000 miles - new rear rotors and pads (brakes squeak loud, constantly)

60000 miles - sunroof rattles and would need new tracks to fix, but still works OK.

General comments?

Little odds and ends over my 97' Honda Civic EX coupe...

Eclipse windows rattle

Eclipse sunroof rattles

Long trips not easy on the body

Seats wear easily

Rattles all over the car in general

EATS OIL

EATS GAS.

The only good thing about this car is the ability to attract attention and go fast (even in the rain the traction is great)

Would I buy again?

I would only if I could have been the first owner back in 1998 when the car came off the lot...

I fully agree!

Owned a 98 GST and the thing was a piece of...

Looked great/ran fast/chick magnet When it wasn't in the shop busting the wallet or sitting dead in the driveway.
