1997 Honda Civic VTEC-E 1.5 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
If you want comfort and reliability, I doubt you could do better
Faults:
Nothing other than the odd rattle and squeak.
General Comments:
This has been a fabulous car. Coming up to 6 years old, nearly 120,000 miles on the clock and I will be really sorry to see it go.
Even now I still get 50 mpg out of it (I once got over 60 to the gallon after spending a week driving really economically).
It's a really comfortable car, SO easy to drive - I can see why so many old folks like them.
Services every 6,000 miles makes it a bit expensive to run (although I've only done mine each 10,000).
Just about to invest in a nearly new 1.4 or 1.6 new-style Civic - just hope that whatever I choose it comes close to the value I've had from this car.
Superb.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I'm glad you are happy with your civc DX, so I'm too. 93000 miles and still running great. I feel bad because I haven't send it for its service (30k,60k and now due at 90k) I promise to send it to dealer for its 90k miles, it well deserve it my little honda..
