Funny... 80% of the complaints for the '01 Civic are the tranny. No significant improvements were made to the tranny for the 7th gen (upgraded clutches in '03 for the auto, but I believe the failures were mostly the torque converter for auto or input shaft bearing for manuals), and yet the '04 Civic is given a "Seal of Awesome" rather than "Avoid like the Plague"
I'm happy with my '01 Civic. Other than the known problem with the tranny, it's been a good car.
And it looks like I may get my first tank over 50mpg if this warm, dry weather sticks around for another week.
