I have a 1997 Honda Civic 1.5i. Usually a great and reliable car.Had severeal problems with it within the last year though. (it was my fathers who passed away and stood for abit last year, until I passed my test and took it on, couldn't bear to part with it). It has had several parts replaced: battery, oxygent filter thinggys (don't ask me, don't know the technical side of cars being a woman!) and lately it doesnt seem to be as nippy, you know; doesn't seem as fast.. and getting up hills is like driving a tractor! But yet nothing has been picked up on nay tests it's had. Any mechanics out there or anyone with good car knowledge to know what might be up with her? (yes, shes a she!).Can bear to part with her... as she has huge sentimental values...
