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.

Love it - 2001 Honda Civic
By Emmy - May 15 - 11:48 ami cant imagine saying anything bad about this car. i recently purhcased it and i love it! the ride is awesome, it drives as smooth as my fathers bmw. it is comfortable, and the back seats are suprisingly roomy. the gas mileage is great and the styling is too. I was used to driving a 92 volvo station wagon, so the styling couldnt get much better if you ask me. it has been very reliable and seems quick on the road. i love the interior, and while driving, the car is very quiet, there was one rattle, but the dealership took care of it for me. other than that, the car makes barely any noise at all. overall a great car!

Honda EX Coupe - 2001 Honda Civic
By Linda Clay - May 13 - 10:00 amOver the last 13 years, Ive owned four new and three used Civics. Ive had no maintenance problems with my new Civics. Theyre awesome cars and dirt cheap for the excellent quality that you get. They are classy inside and out. I cant find a comparable vehicle. Ive compared the Civic to the Celica and the Eclipse, both of which look great but cost thousands more and dont have the extras that the Civic EX comes equipped with (power everything, sunroof). Thats why I keep buying them!

The BEST OF THE BEST !! - 2001 Honda Civic
By MDBoy - May 7 - 10:00 amExcellent car in its class or perhaps in any other class...for mere $14,000. I bought my Civic brand new in its first production year.(usually first production years are troublesome.) So far the car has given me nothing but pure happiness. I have driven a cross the country 2 times with it. I am falling in love with this car. The handling is great, the design is superb, re-sale value is topnotch, reliability is somthing to brag about..and not to mention, its safty beats Mercedes Benz C-Class sedan (Check out National Highway and Traffic Safty Association website @ www.nhtsa.dot.gov).

Same old, same old - 2001 Honda Civic
By mrf - March 31 - 2:00 amSame old, same old reliable Honda. Overall, I would have to rate this new Civic as excellent, as all Honda products tend to be. Maybe a bit bland in some areas, but fun to drive and very rliable. Some cost-cutting is evendent in the newer models however...but just go down to a GM dealership and sit in one of their POSs (any...Chevy to Cadillac) and youll think you just went to heaven.

worth the money - 2001 Honda Civic
By janie_super - January 13 - 10:56 pmThis is my second Civic,and a tremedous improvement of the interior noise of the 99 LX sedan. In fact, I have to sell one of my civics, and I would much rather keep the 01 EX, even for the extra $5K. For the first two years the acceleration was sluggish, and the brakes required alot of force, I felt like I was diving, however, after driving 30,000 miles and a brake job, things are much improved, perhaps needed a good break in period. Long distance trips are very comfortable, and the car is extremely stable at fast speeds (no spoiler needed). 6 speakers is indispensible, and I have no interest in replacing the standard stereo.

Tops in the Class!! - 2001 Honda Civic
By pff - January 3 - 2:53 pmReplaced a 97 Civic LX for this lease return. Styling, space, interior conveniences and power/tranny combo seem better than the 97. Suspension not as responsive & sone additional road noise than the 97. Overall a fantastic West Coast Canadian commuter. Very pleased. PS Still own a 90 Accord EXR for longer road trips.

Great car but that CVT tranny - 2001 Honda Civic
By Slide666 - December 1 - 10:00 amLove the miliage.Easy controls.Timeless style that will look great for years!I had the car for 2 years and not a glitch to cry about except for the CVT tranny. The starter clutch assembly was worn! Never abused or pushed to the limit! Just regular driving! Strange. Honda replaced the clutch under warranty. Overall quality is top notch! I know the HX is hard to find, but I think it found me! I walk into a dealer and there it was! In the show room! The dealer said that many people who dont know any better,dont like it because it has no power windows! So what! I installed after market power windows! Problem solved! I highly recommend the HX! Thanks Honda!

By thecuteone1302 - December 1 - 10:00 amThe Honda Civic EX is one of the best cars I have ever owned. It runs well is an eye catcher and has some of the best gas milage ever.
