2000 Honda Civic Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Only had 2 things go wrong on this car in 14 years, the ignition module and the exhaust manifold. Apparently the manifold is faulty on these cars. The ignition module, according to the mechanic, may fail any time or not at all, made it 6 years or so. Other than that, it's been ridiculously reliable, economical and fun to drive. I chose the transmission and everything, but have since decided I should have at least got the EX with a manual since I developed a greater need for acceleration and would have liked the OEM sunroof.May 11, 2014

The 2000 Honda Civic LX is a very solid car. It offers great value and reliability even in its older age. The appearance is attractive and still contemporary, appealing to the younger generation of folks. With it's popular 4 cylinder engine, this Civic model puts out 106 horse at 6200 rpm and 103 ft. lbs. of torque at 4500 rpm. This is a weak car for anyone that drives to actually get somewhere. In other words, it is great for light-footed women and your grandma's Sunday drive to church. For me, fuel efficiency has been a huge factor and it's the only way I can tolerate driving it. I would love me some more power, but I must say the acceleration has a quick response and the engine noise to go with can make your friends jump. Interior noise gains a lot from the engine, but from a teenager's mind it hits the spot. A very popular car to rebuild and customize, which I would recommend. Don't hesitate on this Honda.

Although performance wise this civic sucks. It does not accelerate fast at all but does handle well and brakes are not too bad. Build quality is near perfect, does not make noise nor does it need repairs. The interior is looking bad because we really don't clean it out like we should. It does get good gas mileage and maintenance is fairly low cost. Overall the car is fun to drive and I would recommend it for new car buyers.Nov 12, 2009

i loved my civic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! never had to change the brakes, clutch, exhaust, or anything! the only thing i ever had to do was regular maintenance. the only reason i had to get rid of it was because it was no longer big enough for my growing family. but i miss it every day! gas mileage was great. it even handled well in the snow! and it was my first standard car....and it still ran well! lolOct 05, 2009

Well, it was the first car I ever bought. Lucky for me though, the person I bought the car from was an avid race car driver. And he said the car up for street racing. That being the case, the car handled amazingly well. Though the low skirts were a constant problem when driving in pot-holed streets - it was a speed demon on the highway!!! The luxury finish on the interior assured a comfortable drive. Though the airconditioning was its only weakness. - It was worthless on a very hot day in the Philippines!!! But other than that, everything was good. Nice leg-room. Spacious trunk and interior. Nice dash and side panel designs ad a stable engine.I'd recommend ANY Honda to any serious car buyer.Jul 25, 2008

Honda Civic, a vehicle that has been constructed since the Oil Crisis of 1973, has evolved drastically in both size and equipment. The first Civic was a relatively "small" vehicle, with few or no creature comforts like a/c, radio, and many others. Over the years, this car has grown in size and in amenities. Today, this car is perhaps one of the best-selling nameplates due to it's fuel economy, power and features. However, this review will be based on the Honda Civic 2000. This car, owned by my dad, has been in service for eight years and in those eight years, it has proven to be extremely reliable. Thanks to its engine, providing 106HP with a displacement of about 1.6L, this car has a relatively good acceleration, but should be stronger and have a little bit of torque. The dashboard is dominated by a 140-mph speedometer with the fuel and tempearutre gauges on the sides, but it should be equipped with a tachometer. The seats are very comfortable, yet this car is small for a person as tall as I am, so I had to move the seat backwards, thus compromising the already-small space of the back seat. The cupholders are enormous and the dash is designed so that a "king size" bottle can fit perfectly and that's a good point. The space in the trunk is relaitvely small, with no domelight to illuminate it at night, but the seats fold 60/40 so that more cargo can be loaded with at least 3 passengers. Overall, this is a very safe car, with ABS and driver-passenger airbags and a durable body. If I was to re-design this car, I would give it a bigger engine, longer dimensions, and a standard tachometer and I would reduce the price of this vehicle since $23,000 is a lot of money for this car. It should also have many more features standard.Mar 26, 2008
