2001 Honda Civic LX review from North America
"This car is not meant for speed, its to get you from point A to point B"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car is great. Although I have heard from many 2001 Honda civic owners that the struts go bad. I have started to experience this problem. It began at 90,000 miles.
Honda has a recall on the light switch to turn on the headlights. it seems a fuse burns out and Honda changed it for free.
The headliner is starting to sag in the back. not a big problem.
Changed stock tires because they were horrible.
Transmission "pops" out of second sometimes to a horrible grinding sound. But they are all minor problems I paid 8,000 for the car and I am very happy!!
General comments?
Overall I love the car. It is a civic so I can pimp it out and do to it my liking. gas mileage is great 38 on the highway and I think 32 in the city. it is not very powerful because like I said before it lacks a v-tech, but it still puts out a potent 115 horsepower.
The four doors are ugly, but the two doors look very sporty. Many people who write to this website about the 01 Honda civic say they are very disappointed. however I am a very happy Honda owner and I will stick with them my whole life. however it handles like a mini-van.
