Finally saved up and bought my 1st car

These are good cheap cars but the 2001-2003 did have problems with Auto transmissions.

Change the timing belt every 100K with a Gates kit(or OEM parts) and a OEM Honda water pump along with checking the valve clearance every 30K on these era of Honda is a easy recipe to see 200K-300K easy. Along with fluid changes and new plugs every now and then.

Just an update, Civic is still going strong with 151,000 miles with just regular maintenance and i'm done with high school

Hopefully it makes it to 200k

Are you going to college? Congrats on finishing H.S.

Don't forget to replace the pcv valve since it's often over looked.

College, yes sir...PCV Valve never changed it, will do so next oil change in september.
