Best first car ever

I loved this car. this was my first car and it's been absolutely amazing. Its got nearly 250k miles and still works great. I've had a few oil leaks over the years and had to replace the coolant thermostat, but that's really just maintenance stuff.

Reliable eco car

I absolutely love my 2001 model, I personally have a 220000 mile body from New England and the body has held up decently well for not being garaged, the motor was rebuild 80k ago along with a clutch, motor was rebuilt at the same time because it was tired after 160000 k worth of beatings,came from my brother who bought it at 18 years old and drove it like a typical teenage boy, Since the motor and clutch was new I finally got to experience the mighty little 1.7 at its best and with the 5 speed transmission and a k&n cold air intake and its plenty enough to put a smile on my face when I put my foot down, not a super fast car by any means but it is very nimble in the corners, I haven't had any issues with it other then brake lines due to the salty roads and the evap box I believe its called a charcoal box started to become an issue at 214000 witch does throw a engine light because the evap system seal is broken, but i haven't noticed and drop in power, haven't had any problems with cold starts, it runs great the reason I haven't replaced it is because is over 130$ witch is ridiculous seeing as how you can buy struts all around for that but in the end I love my car and I'd recommend this to any driver

Best and forgotten civic

Never left me on the side of the road. You take care of this car and it will give 0 issues. Mine has 230k miles and still running on the original transmission and most original mechanical components. No paint fade nothing. The ride quality is amazing and insane gas mileage. Drove from San Francisco to LA in ONE tank! Still own and plan to keep for as long as I can

A no-frills workhouse

This is the little engine that could. The small dog with the biggest bark. She's not fast, she's not fancy, but she beats away at every day with the best of them and never backs down.

Simply the BEST

I love my Honda civic. Eventhough it is an older model it is very comfortable. It would be great as a first car or as a daily in-town driver. Ive never been left stranded in mine. It is very reliable even in old age.

Strongest and most reliable car I've ever owned

The 2001 Honda Civic Ex manual transmission sedan is the most reliable car I've ever owned. The car is very solid and tough for the bad roads in Ghana. It's been about 6years since I bought it used from a colleague but the engine runs like new; no heating problems, no lugging and a perfect fit for long journeys. I've made a few repairs with the a/c, power windows , locks and the usual servicing : engine oil replacement, transmission fluid replacement, spark plugs, power steering fluid replacement. There's a squealing noise when I depress the clutch pedal but it's not a big deal, I heard a ball joint connecting the clutch cable needs a bit of greasing and that's all. I love this car and can't help but hope to keep it forever.

Has been such a reliable car!

I absolutely love this vehicle. It feels like a new car but I know it’s not a 2019. Fully liaded with all a modern car has . I can’t say enough good about it. The only reason I have to let her go is because I have 5 in my family and it will hold that many. However 4 people in it gets you max comfort. I wish I could keep it but it’s off to buy a family vehicle.
