Honda Civic: Problems & Solutions

Re: Need advise about Civic maintenance [accord_guy]

Written by: sek4mlk on Mar 19, 2006 09:17 AM

According to the Honda service manual for the 2001-2002 Civic, the timing belt should be replaced at either 110,000 mi or 7 years for both normal and severe driving conditions. The only caveat is if the vehicle has been routinely operated in either extremely hot (110F) or cold (-20F) conditions. Read More...

VW Golf vs Honda Civic

Re: Another Factor in Golf vs. Civic [david62]

Written by: allhorizon on Mar 07, 2006 11:15 PM

My 1985 Golf just (finally) bit the dust. Still it had a better ride than my 2001 Civic - and certainly better handling. No question Honda fit and finish is better and no question that on average, the civic will be a cheaper car to maintain. But my 85 Golf served my very well with nothing more than a fuel pump (or two) needed along the way. The Civic engine should last ... Read More...

Honda Civic Coupe / Civic Si 2006+

Re: was at the dealer today.. my complaints/thoughts [only1harry]

Written by: juliej on Mar 05, 2006 06:52 AM

Just curious, did u buy the Honda Civic? Also, you were correct about the cloth material, I have small tears in my seat due to seat belt usage, which should not be, especially after owning the car only 3 months. And since I also own a 2001 Civic and has not happened on that vehicle, it does appear they have gone "cheap" on some things as you stated. Let me know. Read More...

2006 Honda Civic Coupe (EX) Cloth Seat Problems

Written by: juliej on Mar 05, 2006 06:36 AM

Has anyone out there experienced any tears on the side of the seat from seat belt usage? I have only had the vehicle 3 months and I have noticed small tears on the side of the seat from putting the seat belt on and off. In addition, should Honda pay for this since the car is so new? I own a 2001 Civic w/cloths seats, bought it new as well, and this did not happen. Pls advise, ... Read More...
