2001 Honda Civic EX review from North America
"I love it even with its issues!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver seat rocks.
Panel behind drivers seat rattles with the stereo on, the car is loud in general.
Shocks/Struts.
E-break need to be tightend on a regular basis.
Head lights have blown and this is a known recall.
When down shifting to pass a slower car the trans with pop out of gear and go into neutral.
General comments?
This is the 3rd Honda I have purchased and I do love it.
I was thinking that I was a over worried consumer till I read this page, every thing that I have noticed in my car is listed here, how frustrating!
This car is great on gas. Handles well when the weather is good, but add some rain or snow and stay in the slow lane, Tires are less than desirable and I'm sure aid in the handing.
With all the issues I have had with this car the dealer is still helpful and all I can say is thank gosh for the purchase of the 100k warranty! 1000 bucks well spent!
