Find Used Honda Civic Cars in Utah

The Honda Civic first rolled out in 1996. It was a huge it because of its efficiency, comfort, quality, and drivability. It set the bar for the subcompact class of its day. Used Civic cars are still going strong, and it is among the best sellers in its class. Because of its original success and its length of production, there are many on the road. The 2001 Honda Civic got a redesign; the manufacturer’s goal was to improve the vehicles quality. This model year is a real value for a used car because it has a maximized space for passengers, a minimized space for mechanics, improved safety technology, and larger, more efficient engine. The 2001 Civic has a fuel economy that is excellent; 39 mpg on the highway and 32 mpg in the City. These used Civics will be found in four door sedans and two door coupe styles. The four-door sedans come in three different trim levels and two different power-trains. Models include the base Civic DX sedan, the LX (adds power controls), and the top of the class EX (this has a more powerful engine, body-colored power mirrors and a remote entry system). Many of the vehicles will be found as standard, but a number were produced with a four speed automatic transmission. The two-door coupes have a fuel-economy based HX edition added to the other trims: the DX, LX and EX. The HX is equipped with an efficient lean-burn engine capable of 44 miles per gallon when teamed to the standard five-speed manual transmission. Three engines were made with this 2001 used car; all are four-cylinder aluminum engines and each earns the government's ultra low emission vehicle, or ULEV, certification. The mileage-leading Civic HX coupe edition uses a lean-burn engine that achieves 117 horsepower; DX and LX coupe and sedan come equipped with a 115-horsepower 1.7-liter engine; the deluxe EX coupe and sedan get a 127-horsepower engine. Although the sedan and coupe may have the same basic features and drive, their appearance is different; fewer than one-fourth of the body panels are common to both body styles.
The coupe comes an aggressive windshield angle for the sporty feel. The two Civics measure identically in wheelbase and share a common structure, although the coupe has steel reinforcements to compensate for a center pillar that is not on this style. The passenger compartment got a big boost for the 2001 model year. Its volume went from 101.7 cubic feet to 104.3 cubic feet, enough to elevate the car from subcompact to compact status. This was done by raising the roof, moving front pillars forward and developing a flat cabin floor. Those riding in the backseat will appreciate this the most, as legroom increases by 1.9 inches in the sedan, or 0.6 inches for the coupe. The Honda Civic has basic safety features such as front seatbelts for the lap and shoulder, two-stage frontal airbags, three-point safety belts for five seat positions, child seat anchor brackets for the back seat and an emergency trunk release lever inside the trunk. Some of these used cars can be found with side-impact airbags and anti-lock brakes. All in all a used Honda civic is an excellent value; it offers a quiet, smooth , and controlled ride. And with the qualification of ULEV status, the positive points for environment are ever present.
