Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly engines, reputation for durability, neato CVT transmission, likely to retain a healthy chunk of original value, impressive crash-test scores.
Cons
- Si goes bye-bye, gotta get the EX or GX for ABS, vanilla-flavored sedan styling.
What’s new
Honda redesigns its cars and trucks every four to five years, whether they need it or not. For 2001, it's the Honda Civic's turn. Larger inside and out, with more powerful engines but a less sophisticated suspension, coupes and sedans return in familiar DX, LX and EX trims, while HX models come with two doors only. The GX Sedan is powered by natural gas. Unfortunately, the hatchback dies just when Americans are once again figuring out how useful they can be, and the sporty Si goes on hiatus for a year or two.
Edmunds says
If you're shopping for a small car and you skip the redesigned 2001 Honda Civic, you're doing yourself a tremendous disservice.

Vehicle overview
Who's your daddy? That should be the 2001 Civic's advertising tagline. Just when the old model began to get a little moldy around the edges in comparison to the Ford Focus, Mazda Protege and Nissan Sentra, Honda drives an all-new Civic off the drawing board and into showrooms, making the job of choosing a competent compact that much more difficult.
Engineers wanted to make the Civic more fun to drive while simultaneously increasing fuel economy with more-efficient engines. Improved crashworthiness, a larger cabin and a bigger trunk were also design goals. Added refinement and standard equipment would increase value in the eyes of the consumer, Honda thought. Finally, the company wanted to improve quality 10 times over the old Civic, which sounds damn near impossible to us. Last year's car was already known to be one of the most reliable and tightly assembled vehicles on the planet.
Unfortunately, the hatchback model got the axe and the zippy Si Coupe disappeared in the process, leaving two- and four-door models available in a wide variety of trim levels. Like last year, base models are known as DX, and include a tilt steering wheel and an AM/FM four-speaker stereo, among other items. Mid-level LX comes with air conditioning (includes a micron air filter), power windows and locks, cruise control and a cassette deck. Top-of-the-line EX receives antilock brakes, a moonroof, 15-inch wheels, a CD player and a more powerful VTEC engine. If fuel economy is a priority, get the HX Coupe, available with an optional continuously variable transmission (CVT) and lightweight alloy wheels. Got an Ed Begley Jr. complex? Try the CVT-equipped GX Sedan, which runs on natural gas and meets super ultra low emission vehicle (SULEV) standards. GX can be equipped with lightweight alloy wheels and ABS.
DX and LX are powered by a 115-horsepower 1.7-liter four-cylinder engine with more torque than last year's 1.6-liter motor. EX continues with a 127-horse VTEC, sized 1.7 liters this year and boasting added twisting force for 2001. Either engine can be mated to a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission except in the GX, which comes with a standard CVT. HX gets a VTEC-E Lean Burn 1.7-liter motor good for 117 horsepower. A five-speed manual is standard on the HX, with the aforementioned CVT tranny available optionally. All gasoline motors meet ultra low emission vehicle (ULEV) standards nationwide, while the CNG-fueled GX manages a SULEV rating and a 200-mile range. Oil changes occur every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Expect a gasoline/electric hybrid Civic to debut for 2002, showcasing technology developed for the Honda Insight.
Coupes and sedans get unique sheetmetal and styling for 2001 to help differentiate between the sporty Civic and the sensible Civic. Engineers targeted a five-star NHTSA crash-test score when designing the Civic's new structure, all while providing more room and greater comfort in a package equivalent in size to the 2000 model. They succeeded -- both the coupe and sedan receive the government's highest score in frontal crash tests.
Dual seatbelt pre-tensioners, dual-stage airbag inflators, three-point seatbelts for all five occupants and optional side airbags with a cutoff system that can detect a child or occupant out of position will help the Civic provide the anticipated level of passenger protection. Yet, despite this dedication to making Civic safe, ABS is still available only on the most expensive model, the EX, or the GX natural gas model. A real head-scratcher, that.
Rounding out the highlights of the redesign, Civic has a larger cabin and trunk, due in part to a shorter nose made possible by the adoption of a relatively mundane MacPherson strut front suspension arrangement. Sophisticated double-wishbone underpinnings continue to support the rear of the car, but last year's trailing arms are gone to make room for a flat rear floor. Spring rates have been reduced all around to produce a softer, more comfortable ride. Finally, noise, vibration and harshness have been quelled in an effort to bring unparalleled refinement to the economy car class.
If you're shopping for a small car and you skip the redesigned 2001 Honda Civic, you're doing yourself a tremendous disservice.
Owners' Opinions
What Owners Like
Owners consistently appreciate the 2001 Honda Civic for its remarkable fuel efficiency. Drivers frequently report achieving impressive gas mileage, with some claiming up to 40 miles per gallon on highway trips. This thriftiness at the pump is complemented by the car's reliability, as many have driven their Civics well beyond the 100,000-mile mark with minimal issues. The manual transmission models, in particular, receive praise for their durability and engaging driving experience—ideal for those who enjoy shifting gears. Owners find the Civic to be a cost-effective vehicle, not only due to its fuel economy but also because of its relatively low maintenance needs when properly cared for. The roomy interior and practical trunk space are other highlighted features, making the Civic a versatile choice for both daily commutes and longer journeys. Many drivers also commend the Civic's straightforward and intuitive design, which simplifies any minor repairs and enhances ease of use. Despite its age, the Civic's seating remains comfortable, and its handling continues to be commendable, offering a blend of responsiveness and stability. Overall, the 2001 Honda Civic regularly earns admiration for being a dependable, economical, and user-friendly vehicle that provides excellent value over the long term.
Common Issues
The 2001 Honda Civic often faces issues with its automatic transmission, which can become problematic under heavy use or over time. Owners report that transmission failures typically emerge at relatively low mileage, sometimes necessitating costly repairs or replacements. Additionally, the vehicle's air conditioning system sometimes fails unexpectedly, leaving drivers to contend with uncomfortable conditions, especially during warmer months. Suspension problems are frequently mentioned, with many owners experiencing a need to replace the struts or dealing with a bumpy ride that fails to absorb road imperfections smoothly. The headliner is also known to sag or detach over time, creating an unsightly and potentially distracting interior. Electrical issues such as burnt-out headlight bulbs and malfunctioning power windows can become a persistent nuisance, often requiring attention. Rust is another common complaint, particularly affecting the undercarriage and parts exposed to the elements. Some drivers find the Civic's braking system less than adequate, reporting frequent replacements and less-than-confident stopping power on wet surfaces. Overall, while the 2001 Honda Civic is generally reliable, these recurring issues can detract from the overall ownership experience, especially as the vehicle ages.
Final Takeaways from Everyday Drivers
Everyday drivers find the 2001 Honda Civic to be a mixed bag when it comes to reliability and daily satisfaction. While many appreciate its fuel efficiency and commendable mileage, others are challenged by transmission woes that can arise unexpectedly. The Civic shines on highways thanks to its efficient yet peppy performance, making long-distance travel economical. However, its suspension system frequently receives criticism for failing to adequately cushion the ride, particularly over uneven surfaces. Most owners agree that maintenance costs tend to stay low, as long as regular servicing is observed. The practicality of its design, with a spacious trunk and manageable size, makes it a convenient choice for urban driving and tight parking situations. Drivers tend to enjoy its classic manual transmission option, which enhances driving engagement despite being a bit laborious in heavy traffic. Interior wear is a common theme, with the headliner and upholstery proving vulnerable to time and the elements. Enthusiasts appreciate the car’s straightforward DIY repair potential, but issues like rust can detract from the overall enjoyment.

2001 Honda Civic LX 2dr Coupe (1.7L 4cyl 5M)
Bought this car in 2014, with 127k miles, i am a pizza delivery driver and it now has 171k miles. I've read a lot of other reviews and i can agree that when putting the car in gear from park to drive, or reverse to drive, it can slip if you step on the gas. My advice to you is: to make your tranny last, go easy on the accelerator right when you get into gear, giving your car this little … time cushion will be alot safer on the transmission. you should be able feel the car drop in gear after going into drive. Other than preventative maintenance like the timing belt, water pump, oil changes, new tranny fluid, the best thing you can do is to take care of your car! do the oil changes every 5,000 miles. i started using fully synthetic oil in my car, but its up to you. I'm happy with my honda! <3

2001 Honda Civic EX 2dr Coupe (1.7L 4cyl 4A)
I bought this car just to get me through college thinking I would get something better once I got a decent job. I have said decent job but the car is hard to give up. I have been in 2 accidents with it both I was fine after and the car was running. Its never had any major repairs aside from a radiator after one accident. Fun to drive easy to upgrade. Compared to the 2002 corolla and 2006 … acura RL I drove before the Civic by far was the best vehicle
Wouldn't trade it for the world.

2001 Honda Civic LX 4dr Sedan (1.7L 4cyl 5M)
I bought my Civic back in 2005 with roughly 55,000 miles on it. It currently has 165,000 miles. Up until 150,000 there were rarely any problems aside from the general maintenance and the airbag/seatbelt recalls. Around 150,000 I had to change the driver side CV axle assembly as the boots were leaking lubricant.
The worst thing about the interior is that the headliner is drooping … which started about four years ago.
The car is currently running well and I look forward to the next 100,000 miles.
