2001 Honda Civic LX review from North America
"Silver Bullet Civic!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've owned the car for a month now.
My gas gauge was showing half for 4 days, I thought I was getting excellent gas mileage, and out of the blue, it went to E and the low fuel indicator light came on. It scared me. I filled up. It did that again for 3 days, and went to E. I filled up. I took it to the dealership, found a bad sending system in fuel tank, dealer replaced that, under warranty.
Front passenger window was rolling up very slow. It stopped on me 3 times. Dealer replaced the regulator, under warranty.
Front passenger door, when it's opened, interior light does not come on. But all other 3 doors, it worked fine. Dealer replaced, under warranty.
According to Carfax, my car has never been wrecked. I think someone who had the car before me must have slammed the door hard or that side has been hit, but owner replaced with their own money.
General comments?
So far, I love this car. I still miss my 1998 Honda Civic HX. But I've only had this car for a month, still lots more to go, hopefully it'll be as reliable as my old one. I named it SILVER BULLET.
Lack of center armrest.
Brrr... COLD air conditioner.
No keyless remote. :- (But am getting an aftermarket one.
I think the front seats in my 98 Civic were better.
