Overview & Reviews

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.

• 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.

• Si goes bye-bye, gotta get the EX or GX for ABS, vanilla-flavored sedan styling.

  Very close to perfect! - 2001 Honda Civic
  By Bob - March 20 - 9:22 am

  This car manages to keep my long commute fun even though it doesn’t have much power. The 5-speed manual transmission still shifts like butter even with 120k of hard driving in southern California traffic. This car really doesn’t feel like it has the miles that it does. It still handles very well but could use new struts (they are a bit weak). This car has aged very well and I plan to keep it for at least 4 more years. The only repair other then routine maintenance so far on this car was the headlight switch under warranty.

  By Richard - March 8 - 6:44 pm

  Was lucky to find an 01 with only 17 K miles, ride and build quality outstanding. Handles great, lots of room easy to park. Get 34 mpg in city.

  Not what I expect from a Honda - 2001 Honda Civic
  By fehansen - February 25 - 2:00 am

  I owned a 1992 Accord EX sedan and loved it so when I was looking for a new car, I figured I couldnt go wrong with another one. This civic has been horrible. There is a real problem with the front end. Almost every 6 months, I need new struts oup front, Ive had the control arm replaced and the control arm bushings replaced. Honda has upped the warranty on the struts to 200,000km. I guess they recognize there is a front end problem with the 2001s but instead of fixing it, they are prepared to throw free parts at it for the time being. Free parts are nice but its a real headache to take a new car in for surgery every 6 months.

  I love my Honda - 2001 Honda Civic
  By Nancy - January 19 - 3:17 pm

  The only problem Ive had with my Honda Civic is the cruise control and the air bag sensor light. My cruise control has worked intermittently for the last 2 years, and the air bag sensor has been an issue since before my warranty expired. I just never got it fixed. I have had it checked and their is truly something wrong with the sensor. But I have A LOT of miles on my Honda so overall I would never complain. I dont know very many cars that can stand up to what my car has.

  Civics rock - 2001 Honda Civic
  By anne337 - January 6 - 10:00 am

  I think this is the best car -- by performance and looks -- for the price. Great gas mileage, gets a lot of looks, and the easiest to customize.

  Great Car - 2001 Honda Civic
  By egprice - December 14 - 10:00 am

  Had this car almost 2 years. No problems at all. HX gets 39!mpg mixed driving. Thought car was weak at first, but light body and high-geared engine very capable and fun to drive. Excellent interior, much better than other comperable cars. Roomy for a coupe. Exterior prone to dings though.
