2001 Acura 1.7 EL Premium review from North America
"It's much more than a civic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car so far. It currently has 47000 kilometers, and runs like new.
The only negative point would be the stock tires, they have worn out rather quickly and are going to need replacement soon.
General comments?
I chose this car over the honda civic because in Canada, the 4 door civic did not come with a v-tec engine until 2004. At that time, the only 4 door v-tec available was the EL. In the US, honda offered a comparable civic EX.
The EL drove quiter than the civic, and had many econo-luxury features such as keyless entry with trunk release, leather, heated seats, power sunroof, 15" alloy wheels, 4-wheel disc braks (a big plus), more sound deadning, and much more.
