    My 2013 LX is at 325,000 miles. The steering wheel is worn like yours and some of the buttons are worn out. I bought some stickers for the buttons, but they look awful (probably my fault). The transmission slips a little going into 2nd, but not too bad. I replaced the wheel covers and the molding under the windows, which made a big difference. It still runs great. I average about 38 mpg. No complaints.

      I was going to but I had already put a lot of miles on it. The mechanic told me you need to start doing it early. He said the car gets used to the older fluid and changing it could do more harm then good. The transmission does hesitate a little going into 2nd gear, but I just let off the gas a bit and it’s fine. Up to 363k now! I am intrigued by the 23 Accord though.

That is good information! Thank you! It is good to be proud of 100k, but you will hit 200k and 300k if you do all the proper maintenance. Not repair when it breaks down.

      Wait a minute... Did you replace the tensioner because it rattled on acceleration? Super common on these civics to do that, but that should have been the drive belt alone. The tensioners on these do not have much play, and when the drive belt stretches due to age, the tensioner has extended to its limit and starts rattling.
      I replaced someone else's 13 civic tensioner without the belt, and it came right back in still rattling. Got called a dumbass by my master tech, then he told me when that happens, only change the drive belt lmao.

    My 2012 Civic EX-L had a shocking amount of problems around the 100,000 mile mark - the paint was fading, the transmission fluid had metal shavings in it (and felt like it was ready to grenade at any moment), the car bucked and jerked badly on gear shifts, the hesitation from a stop was horrible, there was a strange gurgling/buzzing sound when I pressed the accelerator pedal, and it ate through batteries and tires constantly. I had to get pawn it off at a dealer at a mere 104,000 miles in order to get SOME money back before the time bomb of a transmission blew.
    I bought that car in 2015 at 39,600 miles with the hopes that it would get to at least 200,000 miles without any issues or expensive repairs. Instead, it was a finicky, temperamental money pit...I took good care of that car, too...

    I have the same car. I got it from my grandpa for only $6,400 which was less than half it’s value. Even used Honda’s tend to be a little pricey compared to a Ford or Hyundai or Nissan of the same year. Only 10,700 miles when I got it in September and I’m already at 32,800 miles lol. I noticed you got the same average 28.2 mpg as mine too. I have a heavy foot and I rarely drive with Econ mode turned on since it makes the car hella slow. Plus I heard that “average mpg” is just average so I probably get more than 28.2 lol. Zero problems with this car so far except for my grandpa and my friends getting trapped in the passenger seat since the seatbelt sometimes refuses to unbuckle. Only thing that bothers me about the car is the placement of that back up camera screen. I wasn’t so lucky with my last 3 cars. None of them lasted more than 5 months but none of them were Honda’s either 🤷🏻‍♂️.
