We purchased this 2001 honda civic ex because of the honda brand supposedly being so synonymous with quality and longevity. If i would have researched on the internet for prevalent problems with the 2001 honda civic, i would have come across the "transmission failure" issue and never would have purchased this vehicle. And i would advise anyone who is thinking about purchasing a 2001 - 2005 honda civic, beware, the…

The transmission failed on my/my mother's car. This car was honda serviced and very well maintained throughout our ownership. The car was also very gently used. It did no long distance driving, the most it drove was 15 minutes to and from my mother's job. There is no reason for this car to fail other than the car being improperly designed and put together. *tr
