2000 Honda Civic LX from North America - Comments

I've had nothing but routine maintenance on this car. The only thing I've had to do are oil changes and regular scheduled visits.

I just changed the wiper inserts at 43000 miles.

I've found this car to be peppy and reliable.

I've taken several long trips, including one from Detroit to California and back in the winter without a whiff of any problem.

My 2000 Civic the engine rear main seal leaked. out of warranty and the Honda Dealer wanted $3000 to fix. The other complaint I have with this car was it took forever for the heater to blow hot air, I live in a cold climate, and I need my heater to defrost the windshield, the only time it would heat up is when I ran it hard, at low speeds and idle the heater blew cold air, and this car was bad driving through deep snow, or heavy slush on the roads, the slush would pull this car side to side. Bad winter car.

I have had my Civic for almost 4 years. I have put about 48,000 miles on it in that time. It has 80,000 miles now. Zero problems so far, and I know I ran it hard, but last week the check engine light came on. Anyone know what that could be? I'll keep you posted when I find out.

All Hondas have the check engine light coming on at high mileage. Either the catalyser have lost its efficiency either the oxygen sensors are worn out.
