1997 Honda Civic consumer reviews

My husband's Grandma passed this car down to us with 72,000 miles. She kept it in the garage its whole life and barely drove it. No rust, looks like it just pulled off the lot. It is crazy how much it gets to the gallon. We are getting rid of it because we are a family of 6 but definitely recommend. Great commute car.

After buying it for 500 bucks with 140,000 miles on it, I didn't even drive it for a couple months, just let it sit there in my driveway. Battery died on me but after a quick charge, it was rolling. Great car that don't expect to die out anytime soon. If you see one of these cars on the market at a low price don't hesitate to buy even if the mileage is breaking 200,000. I honestly expect these cars in a couple years to go up in value for the nostalgia effect.

Man... this car. This car got me through high school and college. bought it at 16 with $1500 in my pocket from a minimum wage job, 186,000 miles. 6 years later, with a total of 240,000 on it. I was too broke to properly maintain, drove it while it was overheating, bam, blown head gasket. Get this car with less than 200k miles and you’re golden for year if you take care of it. I think it the last 6 years I had maybe spent $1200-1500 on general repairs. Try to snag an EX or LX, my DX didn’t even come with AC. Best first car!!

I am the original owner of a 1997 Honda Civic LX and have owned it for 23 years . OMG I just love this car. Both my kids drove it to college and graduated from college. The car is very good on gas and has 138531 miles on it at present. Since this car has been very reliable and very little maintenance was required I ended up upgrading to a Honda Accord. Honda's all the way.

Love this car. It is so fun, and it sounds amazing once you get it running. Would definitely recommend to anybody who sees this car.

Great interior and starts right up. Definitely served me well for 2 years and still does. This is a perfect commenting car or just having fun on twisty roads

This being an older vehicle, things needed to be replaced from time to time and this car is very easy to work on. The layout is very well thought out and makes things accessible to get to and replace.

Great little car and very dependable. To bad all car manufacturers cant build them this good.this little car fets right at 35 miles per gallon.

If you need to move around. This is your car cheap and very reliable. It comes with very different options.

I had this car for 17 years and 320,000 miles. Only reason I got rid of it was that I took a job overseas. Sold the car to my brother in law, who loves it. When I get back to the states, I intend to buy it back from him. No matter the price!
