2001 Honda Civic Si review from North America
"Good, reliable transportation without ANY driving passion"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's seat bushings wore out twice in 60,000 km
Part of driver's seat internal frame broke
All four struts were faulty.
General comments?
Good seats, but the dash and console was sourced from Mattel
Great on gas, poor on passing power
WORST suspension! Rear end seems as if it's hinged to the front on bumpy roads, and jackhammers over imperfect pavement.
