1997 Honda Civic

As with all Civics, fuel economy is excellent in the HX coupe. Our bright red test car delivered 37 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway.

The Civic's four-wheel independent suspension system is tuned to deliver a semi-soft, semi-sporty ride. The car is fun to drive and able to handle some sporting maneuvers, such as quick cornering on tight curves. The power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering is exceptionally smooth, and it gives the driver just the right amount of feel for the road.

Honda kept the cost of the Civic down by decreasing content. Instead of four-wheel disc brakes, which were available on previous Civics, the '97 line offers power-assisted discs up front and less-expensive drum brakes on the rear. No matter, because stopping power is excellent. This is one change that saved Honda some money on manufacturing but did not affect the car's overall performance.

Cup holder and MAYBE a LITTLE softer ride. ONLY Complaints I have other I WISH they would start making them AGAIN! Yes the S2000 is nice but not enough money in my bank account yet!
