2000 Honda Civic Coupe Reviews, Pricing & Specs

bought this car used, very close to stock..hehehe, i am the second owner, the previous owner had swapped a b18 motor but yanked it out before he sold it to the dealership. well he was kind enough to put a sohc 1.6 (being sarcastic), well i drove it till a rod completely warped and a cylinder wall cracked, i swapped another sohc 1.6 and the same thing happend to that motor... super weird.well then i ran into a really good deal on a b16 w/ tranny .. too good to be true. the motor lasted a week!! came to find out the previous owner ran high boost on trashed the internals.it could have been rapaired but it would take too long so i took a chance and swapped a jdm d15 motor in it that i picked up really cheap, ever since then ive stayed with that motor. alot of people look down on the singles,i looked at it as a challenge :). but ive now got a high comp/rev build pushing about 300hp to the wheels.naturally aspirated :).after aaaaloot of researching, outsourcing,traveling,calling and countless hours of work and frustration on my wifes part!.. is now paying back :), is extremely reliable , i dont horsebeat it. its just nice knowing i have a 11k rpm powerplant that roars when need to. its my daily driver, my grocery go geter, my commuter, my weekend toy,, everything. im now 24 years old , some suggest i should move on, but i say why??the car is paid off, low insurance cost. ima keep it till it either vanishes...gets taken by a tornado lol ;), or santa wrecks it by hitting it with his sled ... jajaja.. its my first car. and i really enjoy owning it. i guess there is that sentimental attachment , but its been really good to me. i firmly state this is the best year for the civics :) my personal opinion.

Performance- For the stock engine that comes in this car, it is VERY IMPRESSIVE! Handling- This car handles great, especially after you lower it and put a few more mods on it. Exterior Appearance: the SI edition civic looks sick even off the showroom floor. Interior Appearance: They could have made the dash and guages a little bit more updated, digital would have been perfect! When it comes to FUN- i give this car *****5 STARS!

Acceleration very responsive braking could be better handling ok didnt need repairs, had it for a year interior kind of boring, exterior pretty nice gas mileage impressive, drove for 2 weeks on one full tank fun to drive on long highways

I love my civic and would not trade it for the world.

I absolutely Love this car. It couldn't be more reliable and cheap to drive. I have 112,000 miles on it right now and have full confidance that it will go for at least 300,000.

I love the b16 tranny and how well it shifts. the clutch has some life on it you can tell, no slip or anything. I have kept up on maintenance tune ups etc. this thing has been well taken care of and not abused like all these ricer kids are doing to civics

The stick shift version of the Civic is the best for the performance on the road because it can bring out the real acceleration of the vehicle. The cost of maintenance is cheap and the ride is always a trip if you learn the car.

Performance - quick for a small motor, really shines in 3rd gears going 60 mph Build Quality - its excellent with no squeaks or rattles Appearance - still think it looks better than newer models Cost of Ownership - gas mileage is ok, had the car for almost 9 years and have never replaced a single light bulb Fun Factor - still a blast to drive after all these years

stock HP: 127 Current HP: 135 Future Plans: Skunk2 coilovers, swaybars, b16a3 engine, edelbrock turbo, carbon fiber hood, new brakes and rotors, Injen intake, Greddy SUS headers, Skunk 2 throttle body, Skunk 2 Intake manifold. Estimated HP after: 230 Mpg: 27-32 city, 35-40 highway Solid car and never had to take it in for out of the ordinary work.

This car was a great car. Interior was in great condition, The performance was not the best but it was still fun. The cost of the car was kinda steep if you add all the changes together it was expensive. Even after all the changes it was still good on gas lol.

performance- very god for the time, by todays standards only ok...with a few modds she is back in the game though.. build quality-its a honda so great appearance- i think it is the best looking civic to date cost of ownership-low ..its a honda fun-heck yes its got vtec yo lol..no but really this car is nimble and quick which makes it pretty fun to drive

its blue, looks nice, has vtec and an si and is clean for a 2000 really good tuner car for the buck which is nice, very fun to drive and redline at 8,000 is fun lol but overall is a kick ass car

Super estable, economico, gran caballaje para ser un 1.6 lts. 160 HP de agencia. Es una gran carro para carretera, solo en ciudad llega a pegar en los topes, es muy bajito. Algo bueno es que hay muchisimas modificaciones aplicables de super buena calidad. Muy bien valuado para recompra.

Amazing on gas! So easy to mod. this car was light and fast. SO many possibilities for this car! Handling was pretty good for a car of its class (for that year)... a super sexy car, really affordable in terms of maintenance and gas mileage... the only thing that might hurt in the financial area is the cost of insurance because its one of the most stolen cars!

What I like about my car has a 127 hp sohc VTEC motor that loves to rev to the redline. It has a brisk acceleration when merging to the freeway or passing cars. It has nice features for the EX trim level, but does not have anti lock braking or alloy wheels. It gets pretty good gas mileage (about 30 to 33 miles per gallon average) I don't like the slow response of the automatic transmission, it doesn't mate pretty well with the sohc VTEC motor. I would recommend the manual version, of course. It has too much body roll during cornering at high speeds. It's got quirky styling on the exterior with bug eyed headlights showing how strange it looks. Update: I still own this car since 2006 to present. It still runs strong with 128,500 miles on it as of Nov 2, 2011. After all, it's a Honda. The paint is still in good condition but has peeling paint on the rear bumper from the previous minor rear end accident. I had to get a set of 4 new tires last year as well. Power door locks, sunroof, lights, etc all work except the driver side power window is stuck but the passenger side works fine. The rear spoiler has been removed due to damage done to it, probably vandalism.

I honestly love everything about the car. if I had to pick something out to consider bad....I would like to have seen a 6 speed manual transmission into the car. It seems like it could use an extra gear when crusin 70 down the highway

Weak performance. The 2000 coupe (Canadian model: Si; US model: EX) represents a stylish, reliable car that is more refined than the competition. For a model that is marketed as being "sporty," however, performance is weak and unimpressive. While reliable and fuel efficient, the 127-HP VTEC engine just doesn't put out enough power to justify the "Si" badge. Rear drum brakes and small front disks translate into very poor stopping power when pushed hard. Later Si models provide much more power and performance for the money.

8000 rpm screamer from Honda gives you 100 hp per Liter all 1.6 of them. Little suspension tweaking made this FWD civic quite capable of oversteer.

Overall I Love My 2000 Honda Civic Dx Coupe, It Has Great Gas Mileage And Is Fun To Drive Not To Mention Pretty Darn Spacious. My Only Complaints Are No Sunroof And The Cup Holders Suck.! But I Still Say, Its A Great Car. I Will Miss It When I Upgrade Vehicles... I Want A Truck!

I love this car and everything about it if it wasn't so finicky!! I love owning a head turner and love the attention it gets. Great for a single family, if you have bigger friends I would not recomend this car. But other than that its my fav car I have owned to date!

no repairs need. takes a daily beating. fun to drive. acceleratin is kinda week. breaking is great and handles like a dream!i get anywhere from 20-32 MPG depending how i drive it. styling is great on both exterior and interior

as everyone knows, the civic is one of the easiest cars to work on, great engine mods, interior and exterior mods. the price of purchase is also very inexpensive and the parts for this car are very affordable as well. it is a FWD car, but you can have so much fun driving this car if you just do it right. It's a great feeling after you mod up your civic and make heads turn! i would recommend this car if you are looking for a good used car and/or a hobby car!

Was a good car for a while. Until the engine seized at 73k, a honda engine?? I had to replace my engine, but ended up getting a dohc engine instead. So I guess other than that major pain in the ass it is a good car. Still only has 77k on it so I may sell it, but why start my payments over again?

the vtec engine is amazing developing 200+ hp for a car weighing just over a ton and its a brilliant revy engine taking on a stock sti with me driving anytime the sound was brilliant just not siutable for kenyan roads and slight problems with cluth plate but who cares if u gonna rev it pasd the red line!!

Car gets great gas mileage, however the standard features are not suffice. The stock stereo is absolutely terrible. However, if you put in a little money, this car can be real nice and VERY fast with a little more money. This is for sure a fun car to drive as long as you're not trying to truly dazzle.

good hard working car, but lately I've had ignition problems. Also the transmission went out a few years after I bought it.Overall the car was good. I have 140,000+ miles in 8 years, but it seems to be dead now.

this is my fun little car I have had a good time modifying her. she has a full kit, coilovers, sway bar, tail and head lights, headers, sound system and shortly coming will be a spoiler and a full catback exhaust system.

Nothing special about this car at all. I bought it as my first brand new car. It was bare bones, no power anything, no extras or anything. Straight up plain jane civic. It was great on gas, was ok appearance wise and wasnt overly expensive.

Smooth standard transmission drive that is good on gas. Small compact with good road handling and transmission. Some complain of slow changing of gears but me thinks drawback is acceleration. it is kinda slow when accelerating. Aside that, a good car.
