I thought you said earlier that the head casket problem was more prevalent in the Accord than in the CRV. Surprised you rated the Accord as better than the CRV.
Yes that’s true although the Crv is offered in awd trim which increases maintenance and a chance at something happening with that part of the drivetrain. 2wd vs 2wd you can easily flip flop them. By 200k a lot of them will have head gasket issues either way imo.

i do not understand why Honda does not address the head gasket issue on 1.5T. Why didn't they make the changes to the 'bolts" to prevent it from happening and why not use longer bolts for the repair? Do you think eventually we will see a class action or recall?
@@samchan9616 no modifications were made hardware wise from 2016 to today on any of the L15s. All bare blocks and head bolts remained the same exact part number.

About 1-2 years from now we should have a better gauge.
Great list and I agree with all. If you get a new Pilot with problem, please let us know. It’s a compliance engine but I feel it might not be worth the squeeze. Second, I know the newer 2.0 Atkinson engines don’t have any drive belts. Any issues with the electric water pump or compressor?

I like this video! Civic Type R are made in JP so I wonder if it's better. HRV with manual would be a dream car.

Yeah I hear that although would most likely require wanton of r&d that I guess Honda doesn’t want to commit to
Great information. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info bro! I look forward to your future videos.
Reason I won’t purchase a hybrid is because of poor packaging and lack of ability to store spare tire cleanly.
@@LoveLikeaHurricane that is a negative and something to consider for sure.

I’m now so concerned about my Accord hybrid gonna blow its head gasket tmr 😢
@@bikingmoments we have seen an increasing trend, although usually at a much, much higher mileage vs the L15. Best of luck
I thought CRV 1.5T issues were limited to 2017 and 2018 models. Honda made some modifications from 2019 to mitigate engine/ hard gasket problems.

As much as I like the new crv, 1.5t is just not cutting it. It needs at least j35 motor or 2.0t.
It’s reserved for the RDX.
Yeah but that's literally the reason why they offer the RDX. It's a CRV with a j35 and more features 😂 at least the previous generation
Crv became way too bloated for the 1.5t. Then there are pilot and passport. 1.5t is good for civics and no bigger.
I have a ‘24 exl crv 1.5 and granted, it’s a bit sluggish off the line, but otherwise it’ll scoot along after you get it going with not that much throttle input.
A detuned 2.0t may have been the answer there and the happy medium possibly
What do you think of the different Honda plants and their quality? My car was made by Honda Canada and it’s been holding up well over a year and a half later.
Some definitely put out better and more consistent products than others.
Canada builds a good product. Second only to Japan.
How about the Civic LX and the Civic Sport non-hybrid, both with the 2.0L Atkinson cycle engine?
@@dw8555 you can slot that right underneath the HR-V

Wait, you get 6 hours for timing belt? Is that including valve adjust or no?
6 hours on all j series. 4 on the old b series, 5.5 on f/h series. No valve adjustment included.
@@BCautosolutions I’m being ripped off. We get 5.4 for timing belt AND valve adjust. We’re told that the maintenance minder system labor times are mandated by Honda Canada.

Robust is likely the case. The Prius eCVT is quite reliable.
The others - I doubt.
If you want the pleasure of driving, buy the manual!
2.0T 10 th gen Accord will be same spot with Civic type R?
Probably maybe even a hair above it because 10at is basically bullet proof and the 6MT fails because of human error.
@@BCautosolutions I think so too.
