2001 Honda Civic EX review from North America

Brakes failed twice within the first year and less than 10,000 miles.

Gas gauge is inaccurate.

Knuckle bars had to be replaced.

Seats rock.

Emission light continues to come on.

The car has numerous rattles, unlike any Honda I've ever owned.

My gas mileage is far below what was advertised for the car.

I have owned Honda's for the past twenty years. I have never had any trouble with my Honda's until I purchased this 2001 Civic EX. The word "lemon" comes to mind.

I do not like the clutch on this car either. It does not have much play and the car is constantly dying. I've been driving manual cars for 30 plus years and I have never seen a clutch like this one!

I just took my Honda into the shop for a clanking noise that it continues to make. I finally got a response as to the nature of this noise. I was told that Honda is aware of the noise and they don't know what it is, or how to fix it, but they are "researching" it. He said that it does have something to do with the brakes. My dealer tells me that it is not a safety threat. I am concerned since my brakes did go out twice within the first year.

If you add all the service calls for all the Honda's I've ever owned, they would not add up to the number of problems I've had with this Honda.
