1st owner. 80K mi. I push the car to the red line nearly every shift to get the power that I like, and the car seems to like the abuse. Oil changes and one a/c fix have been the extent of the repairs. Avg mpg=36. Predictable and fun to drive when the snow flies, as long as you put better tires on it. Stable and purring at 100mph, but engine unlikely to go over 105. Be ready to rev on uphill climbs.
still works

I'm 66 and this car has been the most cost effective vehicle I've owned including motorcycles and as old as it is now I still consider it a beautiful frog and believe it will last as long as I. Thanks Honda
Great car

Great car. Gets great mileage even when I beat on it. Took out the rear interior and ran a 17.4 on bald street tires at Bristol Motor Dragway. Paint was crappy from previous owner but it was repainted after hail damage and looks great.
Great potential

Honda Civics from 1996-2000 are the best! My 1999 DX hatchback was stolen with over 411,000 original miles. I just kept it maintained and replaced parts according to recommendations. The clutch lasted 398,000 miles. I bought a used 1996 CX that had two previous owners. It wasn't as well cared for as mine, but my mechanic is getting me caught up on overdue maintenance. There are lots of these cars still running and available, but they sell quickly. They are also easily stolen--I will need to get theft protection on the new car. I love driving this car. It's fun, it corners well, it's stable, it has good visibility, it has great gas mileage, and it's reliable.
