2001 Honda Civic LX review from North America

Things are so troublesome with this car that I felt it was my duty to update my previous complaint with this one. Started having continuous problems with "check engine" light at 63,000 k.m. Extremely intermittent air conditioner problems (dealer was unable to duplicate and took 3 months and 3 visits to fix) occurred at 102,000 k.m. Cable that allows you to control opening of gas tank broke at 103,000 k.m. (prevented me from refueling car). Alternator failed at 105,000 k.m. Both front struts failed at 144,000 k.m. Air conditioner started having problems again at 160,000 k.m. I have spent over $2400.00 in non-scheduled repairs on this car in the last 60,000 k.m! This car is very unreliable and I would definitely not buy another Honda due to their uncooperative attitude! FYI. Any body having problems with Honda when car is out of warranty should contact "c.a.m.v.a.p." vehicle arbitration (Canada only) at 1-800-207-0685 and file your complaint - It has worked wonders for me recovering a substantial amount of money spent on repairs!

The only good thing I can say about this car is that it is "extremely" fuel efficient. However, this car is a BIG regret and really hate this car! I have never owned any make of car that has been as unreliable as this car has been! Anybody looking for a good quality car should look at Toyota Corolla.
