2000 Honda Civic LX review from North America
"Slightly less reliable than a Civic should be"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Automatic transmission went at 95,000 miles.
Right strut went at 40,000 miles.
Left strut went at 95,000 miles.
Power locks went at 80,000 miles.
Water Pump went at 95,000 miles.
Breaks went at 40,000 miles.
Air Conditioning Temp sensor went at 90,000 miles.
General comments?
It was an OK car, nothing more or less.
Suspension is pure junk, front and back.
It was not as reliable as I expected a Honda to be. And it has very little power, even with some after market modifications.
I could handle all of the problems except for the transmission going out at 95,000 miles. That really made me angry with Honda. Got a used one for 1500 bucks and it seems to be OK.
I would not buy one of these 01 Civics again. Maybe a newer one, but never this model type.
