2001 Honda Civic LX review from North America
"I will NEVER buy Honda as long as I live and I will certainly recommend that no one else does"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Horrible gas mileage.
Struts went out at 30,000 and 75,000 miles and are starting to wear out again.
Brake pads have to be changed constantly.
Alignment always needs to be adjusted.
Transmission finally went completely out last weekend.
Interior material is very cheap and does not hold up well.
General comments?
This car is a serious piece of junk!
I always heard from people how reliable Honda is, so I jumped to buy one as soon as I was ready for a new car. The first few months were great, after that, all hell broke loose. I pride myself on taking good care of my vehicles, so I expected this car to last forever.
The few times I have called the dealership, I was treated so rudely, that I just gave up and had the work done myself.
The final straw was when the transmission went out the other day! The car is only 4 years old - this is ridiculous!!! I plan on having a tow truck come get it and tow it to the nearest Honda dealership and they can have it back. It's not even worth putting the money out to fix it!
