      mine has seen better days, probably makes more sense to spend $5k getting it back to new instead looking for a new car

    As a mechanic myself, I have a 2013 civic 1.8L automatic transmission, best car I ever had. I also recommend the Toyota Camry and Corolla and even Subaru.

      Help. I just got a 2014 used civic SI. The dashboard lights over by the IV tech, etc. are all red and I don’t know why. Any ideas?

      ​@@Alwayslearnimg Is it just the dashboard lighting? There is a setting on the menu that lets you change the dashboard lighting color. Mine is set to blue. I hate red lighting as you night think that there's a problem when there isn't one.

      @Our_America 71000. Make sure to flush transmission. Not change but flush to get all contaminated oil out. Try to get service records. Hope it works out for you. I'm 100% pleased with my Honda sir.

    My 2012 ex coupe is shy of 400k miles, no christmas lights, all stock
    And that Tpms is annoying lol.
    My factory torque converter is starting to grind too..
    I don’t do the crazy coffee crash cars stuff lol
    Other than that, these things are real gems.

    I like the ‘12-15’ look.
    Just sold a 1.8L today for $7200. 80K original miles with a rebuild title that I did all repairs myself (Deer). Literally not a thing wrong with it mechanically.
    A year ago I would have gotten $8200. Car sales definitely dropping in the mid-west.

    Around 2019 all my plastic and rubber trim dried out from the sun. Had to replace. Window seals and window weather stripping.
    Right off the bat I noticed my transmission case cracked. I don't know where cracks came from but they are not threatening. Looks like a bad cast or forge.
    Power windows are shit too. Motor is failing after 100,000 miles and the window guides dried out and roll up and down super slowly.
    At 130,000 cvt sensor washer popped out all cvt leaked out had to replace the washer. Honda mechanic told me it's a common problem. He said I got lucky I paid attention if I was more clueless I could have blown up my transmission like the 2015 crv that was in the shop also because of the same problem.
    Somewhere at 130-140,000
    Rear shocks blew up total failure.
    Front struts failed.
    Various engine mounts failed. These things cause insane vibrations. Had to fix it all.
    At 150,000. Car is just hanging in there. It shakes everything creaks and jitters. I can tell it was meant to be driven lots in a short period rather than long term.

      Where did you go to replace the rubber trim and plastic? Is that a body shop or a repair shop?
