2001 Honda Civic LX-G review from North America
"Already starting to pay for itself"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with the mechanical aspects of this vehicle.
General comments?
Dials and knobs placed well.
I like the shift to 3rd option.
Air Conditioning works quite well.
The only thing I don't like about the ventilation system is the fact you have to have the Air Conditioning on to have the windshield defogger on.
I just wanted to say that I use this car as a delivery vehicle, and with the price of gas at almost a dollar a liter, I am still making money where a lot of my co-workers are suffering.
I too have had the mysterious right-front noise when going through puddles, and was told by a mechanic I trust that it is the ABS sensor 'shaking itself dry'. The only problem I have had with the car is the window tinting on the rear passenger side is peeling off, but this is an easily remedied problem. Overall, I am very impressed by this car, and barring any unforeseen difficulties, I will be driving it about 80,000 km a year for the next 10 years.
