2001 honda civic reliablity?

I'm looking at buying a 2001 honda civic. Great looking condition, inside and out. 135k original miles, had a tech look at it seems to have no major issues just needs basic matience. I've done research tho and apparently the 2001 civic is the worst civic ever and maybe one of hondas worst cars ever due to so many transmission failures (1000s to fix) Anyone have any experience with these? My first car i'm only 17 and this is all my money i've saved. Id hate to see 3000 cash go down the drain like that.

Keep looking, 135k is a little high in my experience if you want this car to last you. Mine gave out on me just before 170k.

  • How much would it cost to change front struts/ shocks on a honda civic 2001? I think that it would cost no more than or a little over $300 (parts + labor). I went to one mechanic that gave me a quote for $575 ($240 for the parts, the alignment, and labor) lol… Which is ridiculous for a fairly old economy car.
  • 2001 honda civic Fog lights stopped working? I installed fog lights on my car but I forgot to ziptie them to the car so the wiring got loose and burned on the engine. I tryed rewiring but I don't know what's wrong help please.
  • 2001 Honda civic EX or 2000 Acura Integra? The honda has 134k for $3,500 and the Acura is a 4 cylinder with 166k for $3,500. I don't know which one to choose. Any suggestions? And why or why not you chose that car.
  • 2001 honda civic check engine light goes on then turns off? I have a 2001 honda civic with high mileage. I just took it on for an oil change and put summer tires back on. A few days later the check engine light came on and then shut off and then came back on and goes on and off every few days. The car doesn't seem to be driving bad although it does seem to shake a little bit. What could this be?
