Used 2001 Honda Civic Consumer Reviews
Love this car
Been driving this car for 155000 miles.... not a single repair; only scheduled maintenance. Absolute performance isn't great, but if you factor in the gas mileage and engine displacement, it's quite good and all I really need for around the town driving. Interior is holding up extremely well for its age. All the trim pieces are as tight as the day I bought it and the soft touch material on the dash exudes quality. The ride is very smooth though the wind and engine noise can be slightly obtrusive at high rpm and speed. Lots of rear leg room and large trunk. This car has aged like fine wine whereas my old Saturn SL1 aged like stale beer.
2dr EX
Excellent car for the price. Quite roomy for the class, 127 hp is more than enough for daily driving. It gets out of its own way without a problem. Braking is excellent. The VTech engine just purrs. It alone is worth the difference in price over the LX/DX models. Seats are comfortable, although at 5'10" I just have enough headroom with the seat lowered all the way. The shifter is sublime
OPINION
VERY GOOD FAMILY CAR
Honda EX Coupe
Over the last 13 years, I've owned four new and three used Civics. I've had no maintenance problems with my new Civics. They're awesome cars and dirt cheap for the excellent quality that you get. They are classy inside and out. I can't find a comparable vehicle. I've compared the Civic to the Celica and the Eclipse, both of which look great but cost thousands more and don't have the extras that the Civic EX comes equipped with (power everything, sunroof). That's why I keep buying them!
What happened???
This latest edition CIVIC fetures a very bouncy rear suspension, rattle prone interior, Sluggish engine thumpy transmission and questionable interior design quality standards. It will hold it's value as all HONDa's due. This is the only real plus about this car. The exterior design is beyond Vanilla especially on the very ugly sedan. Stay with a used model 97 - 00, an example of the finest CIVIC ever made.
