My 2000 Honda Accord has 270,800 miles.
When she reaches 300 K, I'll ship her to you as a gift.
I’ve got an 03 sedan with the 5 speed manual and 1.7 engine also. I agree it definitely has enough power to be fun to drive while the gas mileage is very reasonable. Plan to keep it until I find a manual heavy duty truck I really like. Until then I’m pretty happy with it. Replaced the timing belt recently with one of the technicians I work with which is a pain in the butt job but far better than losing the engine and therefore the vehicle. The timing belt is a dumb and cheap design compared to the chain but at least it doesn’t need to be done that often and isn’t the worst thing you could have to do.
Early 90's Hondas are the best IMO...I'd kill for a 91 CRX or Civic Hatchback SiR
Hey Scotty use the other ending to your videos sometime - the one where you said as soon as I get out the insane asylum
"Kids drive em like maniacs"
Am kid, can confirm.
Yea sad seeing civics try and be fast.
@@FitnessGuru91 h swap with turbo can be fast
@@directorbeau lol. Don't waste money on mods. Save your money. Invest your money and get a real car.
@@seren1ty755 I already have a real car and didn't say I owned one, just saying civics can be fast.
@@FitnessGuru91 lol you're silly
95 accord 5 speed manual 400 ,000 miles runs like a clock and the deer bounce right off
I have the 2005 VP SSRS.
My only complaint....THAT SUMBITCH TIMING BELT
When you change it, change the tensioner as well because those bearing wear out and cause the belt to slip.
Greetings Scotty! I picked up a used 2005 civic lx Automatic JDM model, 125k miles,1 owner,elderly lady driven, no accident & California car! The clear coat is not great though. Is that a reliable car as well??? Thank you.
More power to the show =)
I owned a 5th gen 1993 Honda Civic SI hatchback. Bought it new and drove it for around 16 years and I drive very aggressively. It finally started to smoke after 250k and the gaskets were gone and I decide to get rid of it. If I'd been a little bit more responsible and caught it earlier I could have saved it and in hindsight, it was almost worth it to throw another engine in there and keep that thing because the car itself was beautiful. Double Wishbone suspension, 4 wheel disc, snappy as hell in the corners. extremely fun to drive and very dependable on all other counts. Had to get some transmission work done, but as I say I was extremely hard on the poor thing. I spent a lot of time in the higher RPMs if you know what I mean. Yep. Hindsight is 20-20 but I wish I'd kept that little baby and giving it another motor. It would still be running today in 2020
These cars are really common to have bad ISB's (Input Shaft Bearing) bought a lot of these cars and all of em had the same noise coming from the trans
My civic 05 LX special edition has over 232,000. I love it!
Scotty I think I got good deal on 02 civic coupe but it misfire still run ok on hwy when it does it let up on gas peddle then go not too bad 60 mile a hr all day long still dec on gas other day got 47 on 4.00 around town mostly 210.000 just drive it don't worry bout it
For the first time i got to disagree this model year with the d17 are fragile when overheated they start to comsume water swapped my wifes motor for another 1 and had the same problem ..my friend owed 1 and had the same problem too
That’s my engine ! I got it in a lil 5 door hatch from 01 I got 100k and your right it’s not even broken in lol the car runs so smoooth!
I love your video's!!! I learn so much!!
What about the automatic transmitions on 05 civics?
I heard they’re not dependable...
You've told us before honda is just behind toyota. Many Hondas are probably better than a few Toyota's.
Lol me and my friends always roasting you for your love of celicas and I'm always like what he never heard of a 05 civ xD
“It’s a Honda, so when you turn the key, it starts rights up” 🙏💯
Every time I start my Honda up I just think about Scotty Kilmer saying, “Typical Honda, starts right up!” 😂
And to think, I recently did a Honda Accord cylinder head that overheated and snapped the camshaft. But Ok.
I am the Offender of All so? That don’t change nothin
@@silasmcgee3647 Changes everything. Its mechanical and it will fail. Some sooner than others. Its a fact of life Jr.

No Honda VTEC engine has EVER failed within warranty. EVER.
They'll all last 200,000km with just oil changes and one cambelt change.
@@HandSolitude 200,000km is low milage for a Honda. Mine is currently at 400,000km and running strong. No smoke and almost no oil burning.
my mitsubishi lancer is 215,000km still running fine. But serviced every 15,000km
No they go just after 😂🤣😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Accord V6 vtecs have been recalled for piston rings
Can’t go wrong with a Toyota or Honda.
No, owning any car is going wrong. Because the damn things need meat pilots.
@@NeverTalkToCops1 guess u need a bike. oh, you need a meat person to operate that too.😬
@@NeverTalkToCops1 It seems you have......... issues.
Same with Hyundai, Kia, and Mazda.
Totally agree.
My 2009 Honda Civic just hit 250000 miles.
What's the big deal? My 2008 Ford Mondeo is now at 367 283 in miles.
@@jothain 👍
Ford's can do that too just not as often as a Honda, Toyota or hyundai and probably even mazda although I'm not sure how long they can last I originally was guna get a mazda 3 2006 but got a 05 elantra cause the price was too good one owner and that beta 2 engine of hyundais is so bulletproof my god.
@@robmalcolm8042 you won't see many hyundais making it that far. They have glass engines these days.
@@robmalcolm8042 Yeah,and there's the factor of generally driven distance after all starts. My mileage is from rural area drives. It would be almost certain that engine life would be shorter in constant city driving. Generally speaking it would be good if modern vehicles would have counter for running hours per certain distance. Though average speed is quite good factor. Mine is something like 70km/h. I think it's something like 50miles/h without calculating. Anyway way higher than average seen.
I'd be willing to bet this Civic with a manual transmission could easily hit a million miles with proper maintenance.
I still miss mine. I had the 02 and when I sold it, it had 150,000 miles and running like a brand new car.
I had one of these. I had an 05 EX Couple Special edition with a manual. It had the beige seats and light brown dash interior (the only nice looking interior of that model IMO) I got it for $1800 with 300K miles. It was blue with white-blue LED lights and a led kit for the fog lights. It looked pretty clean for a stock car.
The only 'issue' with it, or Cheap Honda's in-general is that people think they can DIY them because they're so easy to work on.
It had the alternator improperly installed so a bolt snapped. The belt ended up snapping later which was how I found out.
The LED kit was also wired up incorrectly, so the headlights kept going out randomly.
I also had to do some rewiring for the speakers among other things because someone installed a system prior (pretty common with Honda's).
I later had the timing belt jump teeth because somehow the previous person who installed it had it rubbing and it burnt up the teeth.
Needless to say, it was a good car but a basket-case of DIY repairs. Just because something is easy to work on doesn't mean its ACTUALLY a good thing.
It also was a 300K mile car, and while Honda's are reliable, you can't skip maint like any regular car. Shocks, A/C, other suspension components, and many other things went during my ownership as-well. It was an $1800 car that quickly doubled its value in repairs.
I actually had a neighbor with a same model Honda and they ended up junking theirs due to similar issues. Previous owners doing more harm than good.
I'm not saying this to say used Honda's are bad though, I'm just saying that there can be downsides to buying older, higher-mileage Honda's, especially ones that are so easy to work on.
Anyways though, its not all negative, on the actual CAR, if you find a good one, which shouldn't be too hard, I think I was just unlucky, It ran pretty well after I fixed the issues. I loved that car, I bet it could've easily done another 300K miles in it. I actually still miss it till this day, and I've owned WAY more expensive cars, but it left its impression. I actually intend to buy another one eventually.
I really loved the engine, quiet, smooth. I loved revving it out (Vtec yo). It wasn't fast at all but just hearing the engine was enough for me to love that car.
No riced exhaust was a bonus.
It was a tame regular car with great gas mileage and felt reliable and good to be in, comfortable enough, etc, but then when you wanted some fun, it provided that too. Enough engagement to row through the gears. I just can't describe how fun/cool of a car it was.
Like I said, I've owned some insane sports cars, and some insane luxury cars, and I can't exactly pinpoint why, but that car felt perfect to me. Not many cars have gave me that feeling, but that car did.
@Johnny Reb I needed a hatchback for my side gig. I couldn't fit big boxes into the trunk.
Violent are you trying to say you can’t repair your car by yourself because its easy to work on since it’s a Honda? I’ve done my own repairs on my Acura that I used to have just fine. There is no problem working on your own cars.
i had an 05 d17 they had head issues
Does anyone else wonder what Scotty's Google search history looks like with all of the different pictures he puts in the videos? 😂😂😂

My first car was a 2004 Honda Civic Ex with 160,000 miles on it. Got it in November 2018. It’s April 2021, started working on cars, added a bunch of tech and a few fun little engine mods for the hell of it and the car runs phenomenally. Truly an indestructible beast. Always fun to drive and always able to impress my other car friend’s with its reliability and handling
What kind of tech and mods did you do for your civic?
i jus got it as my first car too lol
what mods did you do?
I’m getting offered a 2004 Honda civic LX/EX for $8,000 with 62k original miles. Do you think it’s worth it. It’ll be my first car
@@nibbax7772 Absolutely, as long as the miles haven't been rolled back and no major oil leaks. Also, the exhaust manifold is notorious for cracking, check its condition too.
These are great with the manual, but to automatics especially in the earlier models were not really the best
Yes. My 04 EX blew a head at 95K :(
@@ogmudboned thats the engine
@@dynamo3059 The early models are also known to blow heads.
I have a 2005 Honda Civic DX reverb 1.7L non Vtech in Fiji pearl blue and the civic foundation its self is a very nice platform handle awesome and pretty quick ahaha. Kinda funny my cars also in need of front wheel bearing but not as bad as that white ex
Currently looking for a 1.7L Vtech engine and transmission to swap in my coupe
I feel like I hit the lottery... my wife had a 91' Corolla she drove for 14 years, then she got a 95' Civic she has been driving for 15 years, and she loves both of these great cars.... After she got the Civic, I drove the Corolla for another 5 years..... talk about saving a ton of money....
Yeah but if you care about safety, maybe it's time to upgrade. Savings won't buy you health if you get in an accident. That was my motivation for selling my Honda Accord 2003
Yeah kind of the boat I'm in, I'm not sure the current crop of cars will be reliable as some of the older ones.
Niiice. That's a very encouraging story. I appreciate it.
@@joachimjankowski4618
I hit a tree at 60 mph with no seatbelt in my dad’s 99 accord when I was in HS. Everybody who saw the pictures of the car said I should be dead. Old Honda’s are plenty safe
@@thetechlibrarian You're thinking the right way. Scotty says that he des that in cars that were made afyer 2010, there's more problems sooner. Problems that only occurred in 150k, 180k and even 200 k or even 120 k has seeing them appear at 60k miles. Even on Toyotas. That's why i got a Toyota camry 2004, it's more near the legendary car era, 2000 and 1990s and still a teenager.
" Little farty muffler " I died. Best description lolol.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.
Scotty, I'm surprised that thru the years no car company hire the mob to put hit on you Hahaha
I have the same question 🤣
The ultimate competitor to the Scotty’s Celica
Yes there is a 94 civic will compete and beats that celica..
@helicopter weewee those civics with the 1.5L and 1.6L where bulletproof some have gone over a million miles..
@helicopter weewee they are very similar, in my opinion the Honda is just better has way more aftermarket support and I think looks better.. but that is my opinion..
@@civicpride1986 You seem to have a bit of civicbias.
@@pH7screwtube I do there is a reason civics are the fastest fwd car in the 1/4 mile 7.6 at over 215mph is very impressive to me for what those little cars can do..
Do yourself a favor. Take Scotty's advice on the Jeep/Chrysler products. I was a Chrysler and GM guy, but now I buy American. Toyota.
Gear Whine same here. That Camry that just drove by? That was built here in America. An American citizen was given a job to help build that car and gets paid which helps feed their family. Im glad a lot of Japanese cars are made here and still have great quality
Older Jeeps and dodges and GM Chevy vehicles were great though

@@musicproducer9952 and Fiat is Chrysler. 😉
Learned to drive in a 2002 Civic LX when it was already 10 yrs old. Managed to overheat it twice and my older brother never changed the oil when he had it. By the time it was my turn, everything on the road seemed faster than it. But it still ran despite the neglect and it was a fun car! Unfortunately, I got a bee in my eye while driving my 2nd year of college and crashed into a wall at 35 mph. Walked away just fine. Gotta love that generation Civic. I get a smile whenever I see one still putting around
Still have my 2004 Civic LX just hit 180k
Lmao you need to sue that bee!
Yeah you had a buzz on alright 📉😁📈
Hysterical. Takes the customer's car out and beats, then posts it on RUclips.
I was thinking the same thing lol
I'm sure the owner know who he is and probably give him permission to take it out
Merely giving it a minor Italian Tune-up, at no added charge.
with bad wheel bearings no less! SAVAGE!
@@usdms13 Agreed.
95 accord 5 speed manual 400 ,000 miles runs like a clock and the deer bounce right off
@Imlerith, general of the Wild hunt my little brother found a green coup in good condition same year half the miles stick bought it for a grand he loves it. The muffler was rusted out so he straight piped it lol welded a make shift one
I had an h22 swapped 95 accord that I hit a deer with at 120 mph. I was stupid and young. It destroyed the car but I walked away without a scratch. motor still ran and was able to part out. Was 15 years ago and have only owned hondas and acuras since.
@@allighabell3138 my 95 was a 2 door manual and I still think about that car. Would immediately buy if I found a good rust free one but pretty impossible in my region.
2004 Civic LX here i can confirm the Deer bounce right off at 70mph
Only thing that hurt me was when he said 2 door sedan
I'm in the market for a car, and let me tell you, I hate everything about buying a car.
Me too. I am in the market for my first car, and its a painful process to find a good one -_-
Scotty has held me up on a new used car, but has $aved me Thou$and$ in the process !!!
Yup, I've been there. I'd go with a Toyota personally. Hondas (usually the 4 cylinders over the V6 engines) are pretty solid too, I just don't trust their transmissions as much. I've had great reliability with my old Lexus ES300 (before someone totaled it) and my current Camry. It amazes me how much abuse people can do to these cars and they still keep running.
I just got out of that process a month ago. Boy do I have a lot more time to do other things now. Car search was a DRAINING process! (first car)
T O Y O T A !☺
civics are everywhere. no joke ive seen like 20 in the last 2 days
Lol That's how i feel with teslas now
Well civics and corollas are dime a dozen but those cars are two of the most reliable cars on the road
You literally can't go out without seeing a civic
@@Dlow-kc6jv Do you live in California by any chance? I could see Teslas being everywhere over there.
@@tenhundredkills
Lol No, the funny part is I'm in IL. I literally see 5 a day, just on my commute to work. Probably more if i drove further. My comute is about 20min. About 2 or 3 years ago i saw maybe one or two a week! Everyones trading their civic for a model 3 it feels.. over here at least. Don't get me wrong guys. I do see alot of civics tho! Reliable car forsure, minus the 1.5L turbo engines. Straight garbage.
We have owned four Civic EX’s over a 40 year span and never any issues with any of them! Also one Accord EX, one CRV and a Honda Element (which is my current vehicle) and no issues. We did buy these new and performed scheduled maintenance. 👍
What type of maintenance specifically since you lasted so long.
I cannot believe you said a Honda is better.... now people will start saying you are influenced by Russia ! LOL
Is like this a soda vs pop thing? Cause where I'm from, if it has 2 doors, it ain't a sedan, it be a coupe.
Yes they them coupe
Soda!

We do live in a world where Mercedes Benz offers a 4-door coupe. Nothing makes sense anymore!

Love the content! You answered my question on the live stream on Thursday. I was having a really rough day and didn't expect the advice! Thank you from the UK!
I had a 2001 2 door, kept it 8 years 180K miles still ran and shifted perfect. That was a good generation civic, just had to change the valve cover gasket every few years cause they end up leaking and fouling out spark plugs or even coils.
Scotty, just admit it, the 2008 to 2012 Accords are better than anything Toyota has during those years.
I heard they were bad times for both of them no ?
The autos were pretty weak in the V6’s but almost any accord with a manual is still driving today 😎
Got a 2006 accord w 190k miles works perfect just took it for a road trip
Why just those years of accords?
The brakes on the 08 Accord. Total nightmare
Bought one in decent shape a year ago for $500 - needed $250 in repairs right away (couple brake lines rotted out) and then I’ve put in another 250 on other things throughout the last year.
So $1000 for a reliable 5-speed civic EX... I’m with it.
When you date an old girl she's still got some miles left in her.
Scotty "IS it a toyota or honda?"
"No!!!" "get rid of it right now its a pile of junk."
I bought a 2005 EX sedan automatic back in the summer of 2020; it had 168000 kms. 2 years later here in 2022, its still going strong with no problems. Very reliable, easy to work on, and parts are easy to find. Love this car!
I’ve owned an ‘03 Civic for 14 years now. I bought it with 16k miles for $5,000. It’s got 170k miles today and the only non-maintenance repair I’ve ever made was replacing a single plug coil (and valve cover gasket). And though I’ll probably have to replace it in the next couple years, it still has the original clutch!
I believe it. My '97 has the original clutch too at 335k miles! (I am replacing the clutch soon though-the clutch is still fine, but a bearing is noisy, and I figure it makes since to do the clutch and all the bearings while it's apart)
@@SJHFoto Exactly the same for me. The throwout bearing has been noisy for 20k miles but the clutch surface itself still works well :)
@@truthsmiles That gives me confidence. My bearing JUST got noisy, but I was concerned about going to work before I got it fixed ("Going to work" for me means making long drives. For instance, I leave tomorrow on a 600 mile round trip to photograph a girls volleyball sectional finals) I'll probably put about 2000 miles on the car before the end of the season (in 2 weeks) After that, I was planning on having the repairs made. I worried that that was pushing the bearing too much
@@SJHFoto I assume it’s only when you push the clutch in, right? My noise comes and goes and it’s not overwhelming. It’s like I feel it complaining when it’s been humid and then dry, but then it gets quiet again. I can feel it in the pedal, but only just. If yours sounds similar I’d say you have nothing immediate to worry about, especially for long drives where you won’t be using the bearing much if at all.
And don’t forget absolute worst case you can shift without the clutch. If the bearing completely disintegrates on you (unlikely), park on a hill. Then to start, put it in first, push in the clutch pedal (to allow the starter to work), and crank the key. The car should lurch to life. Alternatively if it’s a pretty steep hill you can just put it in third or fourth and key on, let off the brake to get the engine going. And then just shift gently, trying to match the engine to wheel speed for the gear you want. With a little practice you’ll get the hang of it. Only stop signs and stop lights are tricky :)
@@truthsmiles No, no-if there is a noise when you push the clutch in, that's the throwout bearing. Mine happens when I take my foot off the clutch. This is the input shaft bearing, This bearing is in the transmission itself. If it breaks, high speed ball bearing will ricochet off the gears and components in the transmission turning it into scrap!
I got a 04 civic for $4000 and have had it for over 6 years still going strong, best purchase I've ever made 👍
Ironically that D17 is Honda's least reliable engine, still reliable than most
Yeah my 01 ex had the head gasket issue. But replace the head studs with the job and I’ve been good for 6 years now.
Nope nope nope the k20a3 is the most reliable same with a k24.They known to go 300k miles and still goes into redline safely and guess what they come with a timing chain.All other Honda smaller weaker engines are slower and have weaker internals that cant be reliably pushed to the max daily
D-17 headcasket issue about 180k.
SCOTTY is fucken tripping. Hes gettin to that point now..... thats the worst honda motor of the civic generations
My d17a2 is still going strong after 238k
I have an LX 05, and bought it 13 years ago. I've beat the hell out of it and works like the day I got it.
Bulletproof!
Had a 2005 Civic 4 door standard transmission years ago. It really was a great car. Engine idled so smoothly you could almost balance a nickel on the running engine. Should of never sold it.
Toyota: We have the most reliable cars.
Honda: Hold my Ridgeline.
Just saw a rusted out one on the side of the road today
Yes sir I have a Toyota Avalon 2002 xls👍
Scottie doing a review on the car that I have for once 😍
I'm a Hondaholic, and I approve of this message.
I've got a 2001 Civic with 240,000 miles on it....minus the farty muffler...still runs great
These are great cars. 120 HP doesn't sound like much but the car only weighs 2400 pounds, 0 to 60 in the 8 second range is pretty great for an econobox.
in imy country Indonesia this type of civic more a younger people car than corolla in same year,corolla start to bigger and more comfort,so older people prefer corolla,still those both car value is very strong for use car in same year
I here that mitsubishi is popular there too. It's that true?
@@AnonymousGuy-ij3xi yea dude.. Mitsubishi is pretty popular too, especially with their heavy duty commercial vehicles. Very good diesel engines that last for a long time n easy to fix if they break down
@@aldolfagus6850 oh ok nice. I wanted to ask so if it the diésel cars that are more popular? And what do people do to make them last long, i jour on other countries Mitsubishi is a top brand but here in the US it's not. Do they change their timing belts and water pump more often or is it just changing the oil of you know?
@@AnonymousGuy-ij3xi In Indonesia, diesel fuel costs cheaper than regular gasoline fuel. Thats why its popular, and tons of workshops know how to work on them. These vehicles also hold their value pretty good.
I can’t say much about Mitsubishi in the US. IMO, the competition for auto industry is also tougher in the US compared to Asian market.
@@aldolfagus6850 Oh ok I see thank you.
My grandpa has one of these and it has been the most reliable vehicle ever
Had 2 of them, diesel and 1.6 sport. Twice Jazz 1.4 and now Accord 2.0 K20A6 - older than it looks. Can't complain, however isuzu diesel wasn't state of the art.
Hondas have always been better than Toyota where you been Scotty 🤷🏾♂️💁🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Don't leave Houston scotty 😭
Watching this in the 2005 civic manual lol. Scotty couldn't be more spot on. 7 years with this car and it has never let me down. Fun, reliable and yes, very zippy!
Still using it today?
My wife has had a 2005 Civic LX since it was a year old. It's an automatic with 260K and still runs like a Swiss watch. Despite both O2 sensors being replaced with Denso, still have check engine light. After reset it came back P0420 within 10 minutes of driving.
Honda's built millions & million's of motorcycle engines with chain driven cams...they should have never ever bulit a car with a rubber belt driven cam, and an interference engine at that.
I'm just sayin
Not that big of a deal, just replace it every 100k miles not that hard or expensive to get done
Pretty easy job to do and they last a long time- The best bike engines are the V4 with cam gear drive like the VFR’s use literally last forever.
@@Georgeeboy true!!!
@ - I did a timing belt, pulleys and also the 2 auxiliary belts last year on my old Mazda Protege and the whole lot cost less than $100 - Took my time and it was done in 2 and a half hours. I should imagine that Civic would cost the same. Obviously a V6 engine is a different matter. A lot of motors have problems with chains and often before 120,000 miles and then you are in for some big money, so it's swings and roundabouts. Research the car before you buy is the best answer.
mark price well book time for the job is only like 3.5 hours so I doubt it’ll cost $800 to have it done
Loved my Gen 7 ‘02 D17A2 MT. 280,000 miles on it. Lasted until I ran over a deer someone else clobbered at 70 mph. Busted the radiator and cooked the engine. Great car, fun to drive, learned to double clutch with it. Wish I still had it-was hoping to go over 300,000.
We've got an '89 CRX with 115k on it, we took it to a "dyno day" for fun last year and out of it's 130hp rated 31 years ago, it produced 132hp! Fantastically built engines
Thats because its still damn near NEW inside the engine at 115 thou. being a Honda. Its just good and broke in now. lol
I used to have an 87 crx. I drove it for 12 years. I loved that car. Then I moved to another city and my parents told me to get a new car as my brother wouldn’t be around to fix it for me. Other than regular maintenance, I had the clutch replaced. I got a civic. Reliable but not as fun as the crx.
I have a nephew who bought a Honda Civic brand New Years ago when he was single. He still owns and occasionally drives that car to this day. It’s in great shape and will probably last for ever. Put my name in the hat for those give always. I really need a floor jack. And jack stands. I’ve never paid anyone to change my oil. I’ve gotten older and really are mechanically inclined. I love working with my hands. I have a condition called Adhesive Capsulitis (frozen shoulder) it limits my ability to raise my right hand up above my head but I manage to complete some tasks. I’m awaiting surgery which hopefully will be sooner than later.
Thanks Scotty I didn’t think you had time to read comments but I admit I was wrong. I’d like to come by and have you look at my air conditioner on the f150 I live here in the city. I fixed the intake manifold gasket and replaced the intake. Call me please at 713-628-3702. Thanks. Be safe in your relocation and enjoy the new adventure.
I got my first car last year. A 2005 Honda civic dx 2 door with 200,000 miles on it. The person who sold it to me screwed me over and ive had to put thousands of dollars into fixing all the problems that weren't mentioned when I paid for it. Now that I fixed all the major problems im completely satisfied with how it performs.
Knowing what you know now, if you could go back, would you have bought the car.....having to shell out as much as you did to fix it?
@schmingusss if I could go back I'd save up for a newer car and not give the scum who sold me the car a penny. I learned my lesson. I should of taken it to a mechanic for a check up before agreeing to buy it. Besides all that now that it's fixed I have no issues with the car.
@@JustinH2O It's a shame there are people like that. He should have disclosed the issues the car had and let you decide whether you still wanted it.
Love my '05 Civic EX SE. Bought it with 127K on it, now has 187K. Other than normal maintenance, I've had to replace the alternator. That's all. I average 33 MPG and have seen over 41 mpg on a long highway trip. Did 610 mi on one tank once.
Scotty: 2010 Ford Fusion, 2.5L, 96250 miles.
Loud knocking noise coming from engine while at stop light. Engine at operating temp.
Put into neutral and knock went away. 750 rpm
Back into drive, rpm around 600, and knock came back, ideas of where to begin search for problem?
Actually thinking of getting one of these. The timing lol.
Same
dont get this gen every single 7th gen civic blows a head gasket
... and the transmissions (auto and manual) are complete garbage, at least compared to the almost bulletproof nature of older Honda transmissions.
2007 or later would be better if your budget allows.
8th gen (2006-2011) is the best generation imo. Extremely reliable, modern but still analog, more practical but still light. The Si is awesome.
Scotty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED YOUR HELP!!! i have a 2017 ford fusion sport. i dont know if you know about these cars but they have a 2.7 L ttv6 with awd. i took my car to a dealership and they told me there was nothing wrong with my car and they tried to send me on my way and told them no and showed them the noise and so they heard it and then they held my ar for a week and didn't even touch my car! so now I'm trying to figure it out myself. my car is making a screeching noise almost like somethings rubbing. it sounds like the belt but i inspected it and looks ok. and i looked at your video about fan belts and inspected the pullys and they seem to spinning straight so I don't know what it could be. the belt has never been replaced though. also this noise only happens when in giving it full throttle or when I'm going up a hill and and i get on the throttle a little bit. Thanks, Harry
Scotty you hit the nail on the head with this one! my car is basically identical to this one. ‘04 2 door EX with the 5 speed and 136k miles, and the only problems I’ve had were self inflicted. Had it for 7 years, it was my first car and I’m not planning on getting rid of it anytime soon!
The 1.7’s did have headgasket problems
This engine is a D17A2 Vtec-e it makes 128hp not 118hp.the lx non-vtec makes about 115 to 118hp
Honda engines always have that ticking! I own a 2006 accord lx, 2013 civic si and a 2016 civic lx. All work well and make that ticking sound. Out of all of my hondas my 2013 civic si is super fun to drive! 6 speed manual transmission with a 2.4 liter engine. The k24 is so pleasing when it comes to vtec power!
U mod it?
"What a cheap, fun, little 2 DOOR SEDAN..." instantly knows nothing.... no such thing as a 2 door sedan
Eh eh eh ! Scotty putting a customer's car to the test...Vroom vroom screeeeeetch !
I had one of those. Those 1.7l engines are known for blown head gaskets. And hondas automatic transmissions are junk.
Toyota corolla is much better. So I don't understand what scotty is talking about.
Cars like this are not produced any more.
Now cars are tablets with 4 weels
Scotty what do think about 1957 Chevrolet bel air 500 miles for 40 thousand dollars or dunsun 1983 datsun 280 zx. Turbo 15k miles for 12 thousand dollars thanks
I avoided these just because of the ricer stigma. Got a Camry instead, no regrets, my camry has 40 more horsepower and it's more comfortable
Camry is also a lot heavier. But unbeatable reliability and comfort. No one buys a Camry for speed unless it’s one of the new TRD ones and even then it’s just a different exhaust, wheels and a wing.
I purchased a 2006 Camry Sports Edition which is one of the more rare Camry trim models since the vast majority are LE trims. The Camry's from that generation a nearly bullet proof. It's got the sport tuned suspension, alloy spoke wheels, all four disc brakes, black spider like projection headlights. It sort of looks like an early 2000s Mazda 6 but remains me more of a Lexus. It sure looks a lot better than the LE trim models for sure.
V Bentley the V6 model of the Camry are quite fast actually.
@@ValentinoBentley I agree with your statement when referring to the 4cyl. Camrys. My 07 SE with the 3.5l V6 has embarrassed a few punks at the lights. It'll light the front tires and shift at 5 to 6k with no issues. Total sleeper.
@@applepoop10 Agree 100%. I own an 07 SE V6 and it flies.
I have one.. 270k on the dash.. no trouble lol ac cold af 🤣
I like Hondas. What made me get a Toyota were 3 reasons: 1. After a Honda model generation completes 10 years of existence, the brand won't supply OEM parts. You just have to get aftermarket ones; 2. It is common for a 13 year old Toyota to show ZERO codes on a tester. It is also common for a 13 year old Honda to show some of them; 3. Honda parts, even aftermarket ones, are a bit more expensive than Toyota's counterparts, especially suspension. However, Hondas are nicer to drive. Have a more complex suspension system.
But I really do like Hondas... Those things are great cars.
Currently driving a 2000 Honda accord LX. For a 21-year-old car, still drives as smooth as butter and saves a ton of gas. I love this car. Even when I upgrade I’m keeping it around.
😒 wake up Honda is good stuff, fk toyota, wit Honda u can get a Bike & a Car and its good stuff, who else can say that? exactly enuf said
Mind had a head gasket leak would randomly over heat I don’t really have fond memories of this car. Stupid me bought at a shady Dealership.
Not sure how people can comment the same minute this gets uploaded 🤔 How about watching it first 🤷♂️😂
I had an 04 Civic LX. I got bored of it and sold it to the neighbor for their daughter. I want to buy it back when she gets tired of it. That car was bullet proof. I drove it hard and it still drove like new at 230K Miles. I want it back for it's good gas mileage and dependability.
Everybody knows Honda is better than Toyota!
I like honda better high reliability nice engines better engines than toyota but Toyota is more dependable no arguing that
8:40 cracked me up 😆😆
2001-2005 be aware: these have transmission problems that occur early on with in the first 100k miles, and as they age head gaskets and overheating around 170k, owned a 2001 honda civic for 19 years.
The best honda civic was the 1996-2000 these engines can go to 300K+ miles bullet proof.
What about 8th gen (2006 - 2012)
I had an ‘05 EX almost exactly like this one but automatic. It was fun to drive and I babied it, but it still blew a head gasket at about 125,000 miles and quickly turned into a money pit. I replaced it with a new 2014 Accord and it’s been smooth sailing since then.
My 02 Honda Civic Ex Coupe has 205k on it and it wont die. Im the original owner and its my daily for work. Gonna give it to my son for him to daily. He loves driving manual.
I miss my Civic. Sigh* someone T boned me
Glad u ok man.
Glad that you're okay, you can get another Civic.
I have the same car with 280,000 miles still runs great i push that thing to its limits all the time thing is a tank
Agreed! They're reliable! But uncomfortable as hell! Still...100% TOYOTA!
I have a 2017 Honda Civic, comfy as hell to me. I've slept in it before and had a good night's rest lol.
@@brycegriffin9271 A 2017!! Things probably changed!! I had a 2009 4-door, it had thoses literally bucket alike seats and I couldn't drive it for more than 4 to 5 hours, after that my back started to ache so bad that I ended up gifting it to my aunt! Horrible car!!
I don't like the ride quality. Feels like a riding a skateboard down the street. Camry, smooth like butter. Even my 2006 Camry SE with sport tuned suspension rides much smoother.
man if you would sit inside my 2008 civic european model with leather seats you wouldnt pick any other car seats.
I prefer Toyota, but I’m not hating my 2007 Honda Accord 4 cylinder...
TheL1arL1ar Accords are impossible to not like. Civics have faults that Accords don't!
Hi Scotty. People need to know that these things have multiple outstanding recalls for airbags.
SOLD My BMW e46 Couple!
Gorgeous Looks but always in
The Shop!
Now Have 2010 Honda Accord
With VTec 4 Never in Shop!☑️
Scotty I remember when Chrysler and Mercedes had a thing going on. They had a 3.0 Bluetech diesel option for certain models including Ram and Jeep. Expensive but better than the Italian diesels. Lol.
get that ecodiesel bulletproofed
I bought a 03 civic came with auto and did a manual transmission swap never looked back I've had mine for 6 or 7years
William Tootle smart move
