For 1 I see more and more toyotas in the tow lane. Honda has a partnership with GM to build hydrogen engines
Scotty I got a car with 350k miles. Can I pay you for maintainence
To keep her going
are 8-9th gen honda accords (european version, are they different than american LX or acura brand nam,e..) ?
are those worth buying, since tehy are used and old cars...
cant get hold of one.. they sell like warm bread on used car market here locally in e ast-europe.
not surprised for the price class.. they look "premium" and less "cheap" than other cars in the same bracket, also 8-9th gen honda prolly look the best as well...
What's the speed limit there
This man is incredible, I started seeing him 10 years ago when I started studying automotive mechanics and I had to translate everything into Spanish although his videos are very explanatory and at this point part of the reason I decided to learn English is because of this man, greetings from El Salvador, Scotty! 💪
Nice One👍 This guy is a real treasure.
He's definitely a treasure , imagine I'm in South Africa and I listen to his advices , he's my go to guy
@@mjngp 🙋🏻♂️Hi, best wishes from N.S.W Australia ❤️
I always watch his videos. I've learnt so much about my car, how parts work, what they do, why they're there and how to fix them 👍
You won't regret it
Haha that's awesome man! Hope he sees this!
CVT transmissions suck. It's like driving a standard transmission with s worn out clutch
Just bought an 02 civic with 286k and it’s solid and I love it.
I don’t trust cvts after nissan versa
Bean counters wil destroy the World.
Scotty, those CVTs are NOT over revving, they're getting into the peak power RPM, all good for max accel once they get in the zone.
What’s that mean
I had a 1999 Honda civic. 345k miles. Still running strong. Take care of it, it'll take care of you
I think CVT's fall apart over 60,000 miles about when there out of warranty.
I actually still have a 1992 Civic with 320k miles which is my daily driver. The only reason I bought it many years ago is because of the mpg's.
Have a 2000 Honda Civic. Got it about three weeks ago (2024). Still runs like a champ, though the odometer does not work. Not sure what is wrong with it. Just saying. 🕷
@libertycoffeehouse3944 no they don't, you know nothing.
2014 Honda Accord 311K miles. CVT is just fine
I love it when Scotty mentioned the older cars last so longer than recent ones. And reliable, too.
He didn't say that, and there is no evidence of it.
Thats called affirmation
The real metric is cost of ownership with all maintenance done on time. Hard to measure that on a newer car. The one benefit of older cars is the lack of touch screens and other unnecessary electronics.
They say that every decade
I actually think that rule applies to pretty much everything. I really do. Something died. Over the past 20 years? We lost something important, and I don’t think it’s retrievable. Convenience replaced necessity as the ‘mother of invention’ and people stopped taking pride in their work. Everything is held together with a stick pin and a wad of chewing gum. Made to last just long enough to pass the return date. It’s shameful.
My son has a 1994 Civic , that thing is still going strong. When he got it, it had had 105000 miles
How many miles now?? 😮
How long has he had it? How many miles now? Not so impressive without more info
Yeah dumb story
Inherited a 1988 Civic Sedan, 5 speed manual transmission. Now has 130K. 35 to 40 mpg in town, 40+ on hwy. No power steering, no air conditioning, crank windows. Still going strong.
My favorite car I've ever owned was my '88 Civic hatchback w 5 speed. LOVED the way it looked and handled. I miss it all the time!
@@tomtest891 I've often thought that the hatchback version would be ideal.
The GL version of the civic in 1988 was much better and still relatable to a modern car. Yes P/S, air and electric windows. Your grandparents were just povo lol
My wife bought a new Honda Civic 4dr, 5 speed manual transmission in 1988. That was a beautiful car, we kept that car 20 years, it had 240k miles on it and still ran great.
240k. It was barely driven
Still driving my 1993 EXR Accord, 186,000, 30 years old! I looked after it VERY very well. I'll be selling it soon as I want 1 last car, SUV, so I sit up higher, and while I'm still working. I know I'll miss my car. I know they don't build cars like mine anymore 😢 I bought it brand new, lady driven. She has been a true gem 💎 the whole time I have owned it. ❤
Im interested in the accord when youre ready to sell
Hi what car is your choice sitting higher? I’m looking for the same thing? Ty
Toyota corolla cross or subaru crosstrek.
I'd also be interested in your car when you sell it!
CB7 family! I LOVE the 90-93 accord. I've owned 3. Looking for another for my adult life. 😆
Just picked up a ‘05 civic coupe with 60k original miles and a 5 speed manual transmission !
how much
Score!
How much did that set you back? 💴?
wonder why the car has only been driven about 3000miles a year
@Meeks1102 I live in Fargo ND - everything here is 20 minutes drive away. I barely put on 2500 a year.
2008 Honda Odyssey here with 185k and going STRONG
Sold my 2008 Accord at 180k miles...lasted me 8 yrs
My wife has a 2013 Civic, 230,000 never been in the shop once for an issue. I just replaced the shocks and rotors and belt, and one wheel bearing. It’s been an awesome car we’re gonna see how far it can go. Next car will be a Subaru since Honda ruined theirs.
Still daily driving my 98 accord. almost 352k miles on the original powertrain, even though the automatic tranmissions are known to fail earlier. That car is the reason I got into DIY auto maintenance and how I found this channel!
You're lucky. My 99 Accord died last year with 230k miles. I was hoping for at least 300k like yours, but now I have a 2006 with 158k. I'll try again.
@@richbrake9910 That's a shame, always hurts my heart to see these old cars in the junkyard. How did it die?
09 Honda Accord 4 banger. 123k miles. Had it for 15 years and passed it down to my daughter. Hopefully it will last another 15 years so my son can drive it.
94 Civic needed bigger. 2004 Accord sold it and now back in 2022 Civic touring. So far so good. We can only take care of it and hope.
I just took my 1996 Honda Accord 4 door to Arizona and back to Reno and I did 85 MPH most of the way on the Back roads all the way . I bought it for 1200 dollars and have put a 1300 dollar Stereo into it with Sirius radio for the deserts . NO PROBLEMS ... 31 Miles per gallon at 80 to 85 Miles per hour ... Zoom Zoom . Its paid for and comfortable 190 K miles on it . I will be using it for my daily driver ( even though I have a new 2023 Tacoma ) . Why put miles on my new Truck.
What did you do for the sound?
My 2003 Accord bought it for $2000 ca cash 7 years ago only changed the oil and battery brake pad’s rotors and tires 😊 full leather dual climate control and l am happy always starts love the 5 speed manual ❤Scotty . Watch for entertainment and the 😂laughter
Mine had a bad transmission, bad infotainment, etc.
@@MattPSU02 someone changed the infotainment system before I got it luckily your transmission was probably an automatic they had problems in 2003 according to Scotty
'12 Accord coupe manual here, bought new. Zero problems.
@rebeltvr6046 in hindsight, I wish I got the 6 speed. They had larger brake rotors, and the transmission could last 200k+ miles. But Honda just struggled at making a decent automatic transmission.
@tishasolomon6173 yeah the V6s in the Accords and Pilots and Oddys were poorly designed. 2nd gear ran too hot and would fail prematurely.
I have an 07 Civic, it's approaching 200k miles and I have never had any kind of major issue and really barely any minor issues with it. This was my first Honda I have owned and I will never own anything other than a Honda or Toyota ever again. I have owned American cars and you are lucky if they even reach 100k miles.
That's awesome!
I currently have a 07 civic with 140K miles, never had any major issues, I really take care of it
@@m_recon5092 The steering lines rot out on the entire 8th generation Civics where the power steering lines meet the rack.
I have a 2008 honda civic an i love it. Very reliable an i like the style an it gets up good too.
Hey how many km u get on the full tank in city ? Mine gets me only 360-400
@rishabhsharma3917 well I'm American but I say I get about 30 mpg combined. Be very good on gas on the highway.
@@rishabhsharma3917 I have one I get about 500km a tank in the city although mine is a manual, which gets better city mileage than the automatic.
@@rishabhsharma3917 I had an old 1986 Honda Civic CRX that got 880 kilometers to a full tank of gas. I had durable oil in the oil tank at the time. It always got well over 50 miles to the gallon on the highway.
if the engine is reving that much its going to reduce engine life.
maybe, but those Japanese engines are built for that high revving
Good to see the Houston greenery again; it brought back pleasant memories. Hope you and the Mrs are enjoying your vacation.
I currently drive an 06 civic hybrid with 321,000 miles. Runs perfect just needs a new 24v battery. 7% usability due to deterioration but still getting 30mpg around Clarksville. The reason i prefer Honda ima because the hybrid part is just a motor assist and can run without it.
I agree with your analysis about the assist behind the engine ... the engine and trans works FINE w/o it.
I personally ran two 1.3liter 5 speed manual 2003 Civic hybrids past 300.000 miles almost trouble free 👍🇺🇸

A guy driving through parking spaces, rather than using the roadway, totaled my '06 Civic. One complaint: Most uncomfortable car to ride in. You feel EVERY bump. Stiffer struts/sus would probably fix that.
ALSO be weary of the '06 year.
They recalled THOUSANDS for casting the engines wrong. So if you buy one, find out if they put a new engine in there. I never knew or found out, I just got lucky.
Was yours dropped? I don’t think they’re any more uncomfortable than any other car in it’s size/weight class.
@@NJLev It was all stock.
@@NJLev A stock Chevy Cobalt, as dinky as that car is, is a way more comfortable ride. Again, we're arguing opinion here, so it's personal taste. 🤷🏼♂️
I'm still driving my '06 Acura TL with 3.2 L V-6 and 6-speed manual trans !!
they're going to last i have an 08 tl with 252k miles that i drive everyday. wish it were a manual
@@bxthorn3100 The manual _IS_ a lot of fun! Plus, it's the modern "anti-theft" device 🙂
Most of the Honda Fit ,City ,Jazz and BRV with CVT transmission belt are breaking by 150 000km and they are from Thailand. This information is from the Caribbean Country where I live. Trinidad and Tobago
This doesn't agree with what Scotty says about the Fit. He calls it the best compact car -- although no longer sold in US
I was looking to replace my 2012 Honda Fit Sport with 117,000 miles, and looked at the HRV. When I saw it had a CVT, I looked at the Toyota RAV 4 LE. I liked it, but decided to keep my Fit, since it gets 38 mpg and has no issues.
Even Honda and Toyota's quality is going down. Keep your older Hondas and Toyotas, they are not as reliable today as they were before.
Keep the fit....theyre exellent cars..my ex wife had an orange 09 fit 5 spd sport.. we loved it...she sold it when it had about 220k it still even had the original clutch, she only sold it because she wanted awd ..
Keep your fit you have least another 200k miles left in it I owned a 2013 fit traded for 08 Yaris sedan yea it’s better on gas but I should’ve kept my fit I had 126 k miles reg auto trans that only the second gen of fit got! The 1st and 3rd gen got the CVT in the Fits
@@jessewynne8193 I didn't know that. I'm in England and have a 2006 manual transmission with 116k miles. Only problem is water leaks I'm still trying to solve. It rains a lot here. Been very wet since October.
I've owned about 5 Hondas that went over 300,000 miles with no mechanical failures. Even a Pilot I had went to 325. I bought a '22 Civic Sport new exactly 2 years ago. Over 60,000 miles now (in 24 months) no issues other than the camera became misaligned during a road trip to New Mexico from NY at 50,000 miles and it just shut all the assistive tech off. $300 to diagnose and fix. I change the transmission fluid at 25,000 miles, i think Honda wants it done at 40,000. I feel like there is too much going on in there for 40,000 miles. I plan to keep it forever.
I have a 97 Honda Accord manual transmission still running strong with 380k miles! Love it!
I bet CVTs will be the reason for the manual transmission to make a return one day
I had an 1994 accord. Bought for $12k with 50k miles on it. Owned it for 25 years, and put 250k miles on top of. Nowadays turbo plus CVT sorry no not for me.
I have a 2000 Honda civic ex. I bought it brand new In 2000. Has a 189,000 miles and it still looks and runs great. I have taken care of it. Some people tell me why I don't you buy a new Honda civic. Because they don't make them like they use to
I’ve only put 45,000 on my 2013 Civic since I got it in 2015. I try to do as many errands as I can on foot, as well as walking to work, so it’s kept the mileage down. Never getting rid of this thing.
My brother gifted me his 2013 Honda Civic in Canada. The seats are horrible no lumbar support whatsoever.
@@parkerbohnn You’re not wrong!
Other than changing CVT fluid every 30k, you'll hardly take notice of the transmission unless you're a speed demon.
I would agree, and id also say i should be able to enjoy my car like a speed demon without the tranny dying!
Is it really good to change the transmission fluid? I know people with Toyotas that never had their transmission fluid changed and they have hundreds of thousands of miles with the original transmission
@luperamos7307 i see how your experiences could make you believe that but its kind of like saying "I know people who smoked cigarettes all their lives and lived to be old" im sure its happened but that still doesnt mean you should do it!
@@anthonymangual365 Bc you can also mess things up if you change the fluid. The reality is that most people never change it. Over time the fluid won't run as well, but you will also have wear of the transmission. So sometimes it evens outs. Kind of the same concept as people that start putting thicker oils in older engines. I also never knew if you should really do that or not.
@@luperamos7307 Changing transmission fluid helps extend the life of the transmission by removing contaminants.
It's simple - dirty fluids have more friction. Friction will eventually destroy engines, power steering systems, and transmissions.
You minimize the amount of friction that occurs from normal wear and tear by keeping the fluids clean.
People often neglect changing these fluids and they can get away with it for a while, but I assure you that they are reducing the lifespan of the transmission by ignoring the maintenance.
An automatic transmission that only made it to 200,000 miles without changing fluid could have easily made it to a million miles with clean fluid.
I pretty much only buy Honda/acura but older. I have an 06 tsx 6 speed that I love to death, owned 6 Integras from the 90s and a Crx Si, all manual. They have their “quirks”, but nothing catastrophic ever happens.
That new connecting rod recall for spun bearings on the J series is terrifying and going to be hard for Honda to recover from. You expect that from Kia or Hyundai.
Yeah , Me too. Had a 95 Integra , 2003 S2000 , still have a 2008 Odyssey and my 2005 Acura Tl with the factory Brembo front brakes , Limited Slip and 6 speed manual .
I drove Honda for the past 20 years with my last car lasting me 14 years. Last year was time to get a new vehicle. I refuse to get a car with cvt or those small engines with turbos. Newer Honda's have a tiny 1.5 engine with a turbo that are known for oil dilution (very bad). Their cvts require excellent care or you'll be lucky to make it to 100k miles. I'm sorry to say it but newer Hondas are junk. I ended getting an Acura, also by Honda, but no cvt and has a bigger engine. Its hard to escape these newer compliance vehicles but there are better vehicles out there still. I would also recommend looking at Mazda. From what I saw in 2023 they are also holding out against the cvt/turbo nonsense.
I have a 2009 accord made in Japan other than the faulty vSA light I can’t turn off it’s running great at 150,000!
Got at least another 100k to go, easy
Honda has a recall on there cvts for the belts coming apart, I've personally replaced about 30 of them in the past 4 years
What do you think of the cvt transmission and are you concerned that it was manufactured in Mexico?
( 12:21 )
Currently drive a 2013 civic SI. Literally the best daily driver out there imo. It’s peppy, got a manual, reliable as heck, easy to work on, and just enough creature comforts without being overwhelming on the technology
yeah, that was before the stupid CVT and turbo adoption that introduced lot of reliability issues you wouldnt expect from honda.
I'm certain I'll never own a car with a CVT
i LUV THIS GUY BUT HIS ARM WAVING GIVES ME ANXIETY LOL
My experience with CVT never again. The transmission shop told me that CVTs can’t be rebuilt.
I asked a mechanic why can't the CVTs be rebuilt & he said cause no-one knows how to.... wait 5 more yrs 🤦
@@mrgarrison3516don't you mean no one knows how?. Junk
What brand car was your CVT transmission on, a Nissan? I'm just curious. I've heard Nissan is the brand that has given CVTs a black eye. So far Honda and Toyota has been reputable.
@@snowsolo Honda
@@snowsolo . Do you know how a cvt transmission works? Its a metal belt that spins. Metal doesn't naturally bend so to make it work they put hundreds or more tiny links, sort of like a chain, that make up the belt. Once that belt breaks it literally explodes. There is no rebuilding that. 5 years from today will change nothing. The only improvement is getting away from that horrible design.
My neighbor had a 2009 Civic. He said they had so many common problems with the engines back then that they replaced his for free. Even though the car was out of warranty.
😂 highly doubt that, he knows nothing about cars
@@dailydad6335 he doesn’t. That’s what the dealership told him. Why else would they replace it for free? I don’t know anything about cars but I can tell you Tacoma frames suck. They replaced mine 12 years out of warranty for free.
Isn't that terrbile? That was only the first few months of the 2009 production lines. The last 9 months they fixed everything so no engine mount problems.
My 03 V6 Accord went through 3 transmissions; however their flagship drivetrain options, do tend to be the 4 cylinder models.
I had a 1975 civic loved that car. You can fit 4 adults with ease.
My wife has a cvt tranny and I don't like it. My Yaris has a 4-speed automatic transmission, and I love the gears. I'm a gear person like Scotty.
I am thinking about buying a old not very old Honda Jazz 1.2 with a few scratches. 😊
I wish Toyota and Honda would bring back the manual transmission
I don't buy Honda anymore unless it doesn't have CVT.
Scotty if I understand you correctly and assuming you are alive you DO NOT LIKE CVT TRANSMISSIONS.
Is this correct?
I love Scotty and how he reminds me my civic si is going to blow up one day because it’s not 20 years old 😂
I bought an older Accord with 100,000 miles recently, thinking "it's a Honda, great!" and have already had to dump over $2000 into it between steering pump, starter, tie rod and tires. I've never been so disappointed in a car I had such high hopes for. My last car, a junker, cost me almost nothing compared to this, an old Chevy. Will never buy a Honda product again. The Accord even has an oil leak, I've come to hate the thing.
You Didn't Do Any Due Diligence
Did You Have Any Maintenance Records?
should have bought a civic
Those are fairly minor wear items on a 100,000 mile car. What year was the Chevy and what went wrong with it?
Sounds like you need to watch some more Scotty videos, learn how to turn a wrench, or look over a vehicle before purchasing.
Yes, tires. Totally Honda's fault.
I can’t agree with Scotty more about those CVTs. 🤮🤮
Those cvt transmissions make me feel like I'm driving a car with a blown transmission!😅 I don't like them at all.
I have 2000 Accord V6 with 250,000 miles. Interior has held up and the engine still pulls strong. The transmission.... well, FML.
2020 Honda Civic Sport here!Runs and drives Great!!!'Lovin it....
Great episode. Tons of great info.
Honda and toyota's been skimping on their quality and relying on their name of reliability for a while.
Change the fluid on my CVT 2021 Civic. Transfluid was a little dirtier than you want to see, but it's a CVT. All is well so far. Made in Mexico too
Bought a 2019 Accord, of course it has a cvt, I’m not a fan of a transmission that doesn’t change gears however the accord isn’t loud, doesn’t rev up when acceleration and it MOVES! Didn’t know about all the problems with the 1.5 liter engines before I bought it but so far I’ve driven it 15k miles in 9 months and haven’t had the fuel smell inside the interior or had high levels when checking the oil stick, so I’m happy about that! Will continue to watch it and yes Honda did do the recall work shortly after I purchased it last summer. So far I’m very happy with my Honda Accord!
I just got rid of my 2008 Civic last August after 284K miles all on the original clutch. If I didn’t live in the northeast I would probably still have it. The engine was in great shape and I was still getting the same great mileage when I got rid of it as I did when I bought it new.
My brother had an '08 Civic, junked it at 330k, second clutch- junked it because of Notheast rust
My 1st honda came from down South...its was crispy, no salt
To me CVT's are a deal breaker on a car.
Had a 2012 civic i regret selling it lol
Wish he went over pilots. My growing family needs an SUV and I have my eyes on the pilot black edition.
I have a 2022 I bought last year.
I made darn sure it came with the 2.0 non-turbo engine instead of the troublesome 1.5 turbo.
I love it
what do you mean by troublesome?
I got 2024 civic hatchback. Major rattles in dash behind infotainment system. I get a turbine boost whistle noise when rolling creep. I’m scared
@CaffeineKage
i looked at the Hondas in 2019, the 1.5 turbos had problems with oil consumption and oil delusion, all the forums, even Scotty said to stay away from that engine, Honda probably fixed the problem by 2022

Been researching between Odyssey and Sienna. It sounds like newer Odysseys have developed many issues particularly w the transmissions. Think Toyota is falling off the same cliff in recent years.
I have a 2011 civic. I really wish it had a manual transmission, because I know its engine is going to outlast the transmission by like 3x.
no you re wrong the trans normally never break
Fantastic car Civics 2006-2011 are the biggest civics built they have a big windshield and 29 miles per gallon combined is pretty reliable and handles very good, I just purchased my 2nd one last year and man I love that car!!!
I hate cvt transmission they try to imitate a regular trans with the computer but it feels like I’m driving a boat
I bought a used 2008 HONDA CR-V 150 HK AUTOMAT 4WD 2L two weeks ago. Couldn't find a diesel so had to go with the gasoline version. Will it serve me well?
Japanese diesels are not the best, petrol is the better choice.
As a Honda fan, I was quite disappointed in the company when my Acura RSX gave up on me at 265,000 due to oil dilution that occurs on Hondas after reaching a high mileage. the oil and fuel begin to mix in the combustion chamber creating a high consumption of both oil and fuel.
Welp time to become a Lexus fan
Luckily I never experienced that on my 2017 CRV, but it was a common problem
When my Explorer was in the shop, I rented a 2018 Nissan Versa with the CVT. It was OK, but a little wacky acting compared to an actual geared transmission. Not a fan. For smaller or "performance" cars, give me a good old-fashioned manual transmission.
The high end 2022 accord hybrids don’t have temp or rpm gauges - sucks
How on EARTH does it not have an RPM gauge?! That should be illegal lol!
I know lots of the Odyssey mini-vans are garbage, usually loosing the transmission by 90,000 miles, engines burn oil and smoke, co-worker's 2018 Odyssey's left sliding door fell off in the K-6 pick up line...
I know you don't like CVTs, but you don't explain the REAL problem with CVTs. How about explaining that they can't be repaired or overhauled?
Great question. I have CVT and very pleased..
@@curtiscollins2174 You're still avoiding the CVT problem: they can't be repaired.
I skipped this and buying the Corolla cross instead. Here they still use the 2ZE-FXE third generation, and it uses a triple layer metal head gasket. For some reason I’m not into the new Hondas. Although I do like the new CRV. Just too expensive.
I swear by an old Honda Civic. A car for smart guys and gals!
Stopped making them in japan
I know this is a civic video but....
I currently own a 2001 Honda Accord EX 3.0 V6 VTECH with 235,000 miles. I have owned it for 9 years, bought it with 109k miles. The engine runs great. Transmission is decent. Has a EVAP code P1457. But other than that, I can't complain
Love it!!🎉🎉
2019 Honda Accord 129K Miles. Still going as good as day 1. Zero issues. Check your theory bro.
Check all the car forums. 2018-2020 1.5 Honda Accords have huge issue with blowing head gasket. About a twenty minute internet search will show you that there are thousands of bad cars out there with blown gaskets starting around 70,000-100,000 miles. Engine becomes useless and car turns to paper weight. Obviously it’s not all of them, but I’d say it’s enough that I’d say a major recall is needed.
Noisy thing with that CVT!
I loved my 2010 Honda Civic with manual transmission, was really fun to drive, but sold it after 2 years because I was unemployed... I'm still Honda lover, but now I'm driving a 2011 Toyota Corolla, another reliable car... My goal is to reach 1 million mile with my Corolla LOL...
Scotty. HOPING YOU SEE THIS.
I’ve worked on my own car since I was a teenager 1992 and a shop tried to rip me off. I decided I’d rather buy tools than pay a mechanic for something I can figure out. I’ve always owned older 100K+ Honda and Toyotas.
Could you pls recommend a legit auto computer/scanner?
One possible advantage to cvt transmissions that they claim it it gives the engine; better gas mileage. Well, that also would mean that it's easier on the engine, which would help make the engine last longer.
100% wrong. Cvt don't realize good fuel econ. You want a car that you don't need to replace trans or engine. Cvt are just balsa wood crap.
That's not how it works. It it runs the engine at too low an RPM, it can actually cause harm. Your engine wants to be in the power band.
@@MattPSU02. So obviously the engineers at Toyota know nothing.
I've always been impressed with the quickness away from the traffic lights that Hondas have. They really are quick!
I drove a 2023 civic type r it's a fast car for what it is at $45 000 iam in a camry xse now it's looks nice with the sonic red and black roof but it slow lol but it's a bigger and longer car
I think it has to do with the mapping of gas pedal combine with gearing of the transmission etc. They’re pretty peppy but not fast by 2024 standards but they do seem faster than most cars in normal driving. I drive a 2005 Acura mdx I’m ahead of everyone most of the time at stoplights even when I’m driving conservatively.
I have 2008 civic with 415k km on it. No major problem , just the ac doesnt work and windshield fluid sensor is on despite having fluid.
Ive had many vehicles.even my 86 GT Mustang never had an oil leak over 20 years old and 300k miles lol honda a year old with 12k miles leaking oil. Who knows whats next for this junk? The junkyard thats what. I've NEVER heard of any vehicle leaking oil after a year with 12k miles. Garbage.
My '10 Civic coupe will get me 40mpg all day on the interstate at 75-79 mph.
New Honda Civics are very bad. Left in the sun, the body melts and bubbles up especially if painted with black paint. News coverage had a dad complaining of this, after they contacted the dealer, dealer wouldn't fix it. They contacted Honda USA, they wouldn't cover the repairs either. They said it was the owners fault. Look at the internet. How the heck could this be the fault of thousands of civic owners? Crappy company. Back in the day, when the Accord was a new car, they replaced the rusted through wheel wells that occurred in just about every Accord sold in America where there was snow. Now, Honda has taken a complete reversal on their treatment of their customers. From the late 1970's to the early 2020's, they've gone from Dr Jekyl to Mr Hyde....a mean nasty company now. Don't buy new Civics...whatever you do. They are crap body's they're building now. Total waste of money.
Hi, I’m wondering if there is a direct way to get in contact with Scotty. I have. 2018 civic, which has the sticky steering issue that they’ve seen recalled for the 11th gen civic. However, they refuse to fix it on 10th gen. I was hoping Scotty could maybe bring this to a wider audience to potentially get Honda to fix it. Many forums about this and a list of NHTSA complaints.
My mom got the new CR-V and its very comfortable and handles well, but the CVT and interior feels really cheap.
2023 civic sport. 45thou km’s. not one issue so far. Still feels like new. But do take care of your cars Lol I baby my vehicles.
I know you have heard the word rice burners. I know you know what I'm saying. this was not for only motorcycles. the Japanese used to build everything better. don't know about today, Thanks to, "The US. government!"
I love the old hondas, most people make fun of them, but when it comes to reliability, nothing comes close except toyota of course
Trying to figure out this channel. Earlier, I saw a review of a Nissan Frontier, and he recommends it over a Tacoma. Then I see "the worst car I've ever worked on" and it's a Nissan. Now, I'm watching Honda's used to be great, but the new ones aren't. Next, I see him review the Honda Ridgeline and talking about what a great vehicle it is.
It's hilarious to see all the comments about their old Honda's running well when the new ones are absolutely garbage lol i wouldnt touch a honda with a thousand foot pole.
Ivr had hundreds of cars the best car's
1) mk1 yaris
2) 1990 toyota camry
3) 1984 supra
4) 1989 toyota corolla
5) 1993 micra
All new cars are bad
