Faults:

Air conditioner completely replaced.

General Comments:

About 80,000 miles air conditioner problems just had replaced for $1200.00.

Dealer waited to diagnose problem correctly so that it would fall out of warranty. Also dealer wanted to replace the alternator seems to be another problem with the Honda Civic. I'll bet it's on all the Honda service bulletins.

Faults:

Brakes needed rotors and drums turned at 108,000.

General Comments:

I bought my 2001 Civic EX sedan new in June 2001. It is the 5 speed model. I just passed 112,500 Miles and am very pleased with the car.

The only repairs I have needed done were new brake linings and resurfacing (not replacing) of the rotors and drums. The dealer just replaced the timing belt at 110,000 as required by the Honda maintenance schedule.

I do agree with some of the other reviews about the problem with windshield wipers. It seems to always be substandard even when blades are fresh.

I occasionally drive a friends 2001 LX automatic. That car has only about 14,000. It is also trouble free.

Faults:

Front struts failed at 20K miles.

Clutch master cylinder failed at 20K miles.

Car handles very poorly in general and feels unsafe. It wanders and does not handle irregularities in the road well. Steering wheel feels very "light" and is off centered, even after alignment.

Upholstery is coming off door panels.

Cup holder grip detached and fell inside console.

Glove box rattles annoyingly when traversing all, but smooth roads.

General Comments:

I have treated this car like a newborn. Carwashes once a week, wax every 3 months, oil changes every 3K miles with only Honda oil filters. Only rarely driven over 60mph.

Guess what? For all I have put into it, I have grown to absolutely despise this car.

Honda does not manufacture the same quality vehicles they once did. My advice, stay clear of ALL new models!

Faults:

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.
