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.

  Great Car - 2001 Honda Civic
  By Jwill - December 29 - 2:00 am

  The Civic has been basically a trouble free car for the most part. We have had to have the the drivers seat track replaced 2 times under warranty and at 3 years old the right front strut was replaced under warranty. Gas milage has been great with over 30mpg avaraged in town and nearly 40mpg on the highway consistantly. The ride is good and the front leg room and dash design beats Toyota Corolla and others by a mile in my opinion. With the current lease deals by Honda we will get another Civic for sure.

  2001 EX Sedan - 2001 Honda Civic
  By dantheman2 - October 28 - 2:00 am

  Im unsure of why people conplain about the wind noise and tires in the 2001 Civic. I have driven my Civic for a few months now and have yet to hear or expierence anything bad with this car. The gas milage is great, but some complain about the sticker mileage to the actual milage they recieve, this all depends on the way they drive there car. (Going 80 mph will not give you 30 miles to the gallon) The features inside of the Civic are nice and it has great exterior looks. I added the alloy wheels and a spoiler, these add to the good looks for a relitivly low price. Its a great car for a comutor.

  Best car ever - 2001 Honda Civic
  By Seba - July 10 - 9:48 am

  My wife bought this car new back in 2001, it now has 136K miles, never any repairs just regular service like, spark plugs, timing belt, trans service, brake pads and regular oil change every 3-4K miles, great car for the money. Great gas mileage. It still fills like the fist day.

  Happy Owner - 2001 Honda Civic
  By amthax - June 25 - 10:00 am

  Great car for the price. Replaced both front struts at 45K miles--after warranty expired. This is an expensive repair and not uncommon according to the dealership repair department. The quality of the interior material could be better, styling is very nice though. Overall I adore my Civic and would purchase again!

  Excellent Investment - 2001 Honda Civic
  By Angeliz324 - June 21 - 2:00 am

  The car has everything- its both fun and sporty and it is a Honda, so of course its going to be reliable for many years to come. The EX comes with all the conveniences you could ask for.

  Love this car - 2001 Honda Civic
  By Average Joe - June 6 - 4:37 pm

  Been driving this car for 155000 miles.... not a single repair only scheduled maintenance. Absolute performance isnt great, but if you factor in the gas mileage and engine displacement, its 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.

  Extremely Reliable - 2001 Honda Civic
  By BRIAN - April 24 - 6:02 pm

  This vehicle has been great! Other than regular maintenance I have just had the struts replaced. I bought this car new in 2000 and Its still running strong it has over 130000 miles now. I get great gas mileage and the car has adequate power. The steering and brake pedal are too soft. The fuel Economy and the sunroof are nice. I wish the sound system was better, even on the top of the line ex the stereo only has 4 speakers. I highly recommend this vehicle!

  Reliability Champ - 2001 Honda Civic
  By edmcohen - March 31 - 10:00 am

  After 103,000 miles of trouble-free, inconvenience-free driving, this car seems as good as it was when new. I had some of the same trivial build-quality shortcomings that others have described in these early new-generation Civics. I did have to replace one of the rear suspension links with an after-market adjustable link, to get a correct suspension alignment. (I would rather do that, than not have independent rear suspension.) While I covet the detail improvements of the subsequent Civics, I do not see enough reason to replace this car any time soon.

  Great Car! - 2001 Honda Civic
  By MollyJ - March 17 - 10:00 am

  This is my second Civic and I love this one more than the first! The performance is outstanding and the gas mileage is superior to any other car in its class. It is VERY fun to drive - I wish I had purchased it sooner! I would highly recommend this car to anyone considering a four-door sedan.

  Good Commuter - 2001 Honda Civic
  By markr - March 11 - 10:00 am

  We bought our civic 2.5 years ago hoping for a fuel saver. It does pretty well in the gas mileage department although I must admit it seems the gas mileage has declined significantly over the past year or so. Im 61" and it is a tight squeaze, the sunroof is to blame for that. But the back seat in this little two seater is surprisingly roomy. Driver seat is not comfortable at all. It was made for a 20 minute commute at minimal comfort
