The Best Friend a New Driver Could Have!

by felanslvrchild
Jan 17 '06 - Updated Jan 23 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Everything within reach, sleek design, smooth and quiet ride, great sound system and practically unbreakable!
Cons: Lumber in seats hard on the back, difficult for some people to get out of.
The Bottom Line: This's an absolutely trouble free car that went far beyond my hopes in Gas Mileage and Handling. It was more than a car, it was family. It's worth every penny!

Mine was a '97 Coupe EX, Silver with Black interior and Moonroof, automatic everything. It was the love of my life, my first car with the best sound system I have ever heard in any car even up to date. My Mother and Grandmother surprised me with it ...

Great gas saver!

by denniskim
May 28 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great gas mileage, smooth engine and transmission, comfortable for 2
Cons: Lack of power with a/c, slow
The Bottom Line: If your looking for a simple car to get you to and from work or school, this is a great car, and also can be great for your kid.

If you're in the market for a used car, you can't look past a Honda Civic. My dad owned a 1997 Honda Civic CX Hatchback. He drove it everyday to and from work, about 40 miles, and I also used to drive it a fair amount. He had the car until about 2000, ...

Competence for the masses

by bgabel
Oct 15 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Smooth, refined drivetrain; nice ride; stylish; high resale value; Honda reliability
Cons: Weak torque from engine; not the handler it used to be; too common; not cheap

The Honda Civic and its cousin the Acura Integra maintain a cult-like status among the younger generation, particularly college students. That status is mostly deserved since the Civic does a lot of things well and generally lacks any major, showstopper...

Jan 25 '00 - Updated Apr 13 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Very reliable, easy and fun to drive, good resale value
Cons: not all models have ABS brakes

The Civic Hatchback is a great little car for commuters. My parents bought a 1997 DX model with automatic transmission, AC, and cassette player to drive to work, and we never had a problem. I drove it myself for 9 months between San Diego and my college...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Reliable and practical
Cons: Small

The Honda Civic isn't the most exciting car in the world. And it doesn't claim to be. What it is, however, is a practical and reliable car that you can depend on. I have a 1997 Civic, and it drives as well at 3 years old as it did when it was new. I've...

Pros: dependable, cute
Cons: small

I have owned two Honda Civics. Sadly, I do not own either one any more, through no fault of their own. The first one was a used 1986 hatchback we bought as a second family car. It was wonderful. It came to a sad end in a wreck in 1997 but in the...

Virtually Problem-free

Oct 23 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Excellent value and performance
Cons: CD option was too pricey

The first Honda that I ever purchased was a Prelude, back in 1992 or so. It was one of the most problem-free cars I've owned. When it came time to buy another car in 1997 I decided to head back to the Honda dealership. I really liked the looks and style...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: cute, nimble, and great on gas!
Cons: Don't count on a high speed race...

Let me start out by saying that I have recently been traumatized in a car accident. I was rear-ended by a careless teenager at high speeds. It was physically harmful and it made me think about safety in automobiles.

I loved my Ford and thought...

Jul 18 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Reliable, Affordable Ride (especially for students)
Cons: Lacks horsepower, not a luxury car

I absolutely LOVE my Black 2-door 1997 Honda Civic EX coupe. It's automatic and I have a CD player. It's small enough for me to park and handles easily. It's cute and stylish, and best yet, it was totally affordable! :) I bought my car used, with 37,000...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Cheap, Reliable, Sporty

After owning a few North American vehicles with less then pleasurable results, I was talked into looking at Honda; I will never look back.

My first Honda is a 1997 Civic DX Coup, Black, tinted windows, “Pop Up” sun roof and a nose bra, the...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: It's Not an SUV!
Cons: It's a Honda, there are no Cons!!

Before I got a car I swore that I would get a Honda, and that after I got mine all my friends would have one as well. Well, that wasn't just wishful thinking, I got my Honda Civic DX in April of 1997, and soon thereafter the four people I told that to...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Good feel, great economy, nice design
Cons: Not very easy access to rear speakers

Let me start by saying I am 18 years old, so my reasons for liking/disliking this car will most likely vary from most people.

I bought this car about 6 months ago used, and have changed the oil once, and the battery once (the battery was my...
