Consider the Jetta as well. Base model is little cheaper, has regular transmission, and has turbo that uses 87 octane!! One little known issue with Honda 1.5 turbos is they recommend 91.
Scotty I have a 2022 Honda Civic LX, Canadian version, it has more features than the American version. Auto start, heated seats, lane departure warning, interior is black. So far it's been a very good car with great fuel mileage, zero issues since I bought a 1 1/2 years ago. I bought this car for fuel mileage and reliability. I am not disappointed at all.
Still driving my 06' Civic with 255k and the only problems with it since buying new was a new starter, thermostat and driver side wheel assembly. Honda has made me a believer indeed. I think it'll be around long after the 22'. lol.
Bought my 2022 Civic Sport in August 2022. No complaints so far. I’m not a fan of cvt either but for an economy car that’s what you get nowadays. I do feel the cvt is a vast improvement over my previous 2015 civic. It doesn’t have that annoying rubber band effect the 2015 did.
I just bought this exact car in a 2023 model. I like everything but the tires and rims ( black) I hate the lane departure vibration, the fact that it won’t let you set the cruise control if your seatbelt isn’t on, I hate the fact that it slows you down when you approach another vehicle ( adaptive cruise) and how the bright lights automatically come on when no one is coming. I don’t like AI telling me what I can and can’t do .
@@soultribe291 you made cause the car want you to be safe by wearing your seatbelt when you drive lol yall cry about anything either wear yo seatbelt or put it behind you
Seems to me that the CVT just isn't meant for people who like to slam on the gas. I've driven an accord with cvt for years and never have it revving like that.
@@johnpanagiotopoulos8539lol wtf where do you get your information from?. 😂 having a weak or powerful engine has nothing to do with how high or low the car revs.
The Accord CVT is pretty good actually. I had a 2018 that I put a lot of miles pretty fast on and it was a very solid car. I’m not a CVT fan exactly, but the Honda CVT is ok. And, a CVT doesn’t have gears but it can have different power delivery modes so S and D positions on the gear selector makes sense and that is nice to have. Anyway they seem to last.
2.4l '13 EX-L is at 238k and counting. Drain and fill every 60k miles. Valve cover gasket replaced twice (did a valve adjustment each time) due to leaks though hahaha...still appears to be a thing. I'd imagine the civic in the video also has a rubber VC gasket, the hondabond sealant is on the corners where there is a mating point.
@JCXM7624 Wow haven't heard anyone mention that Suzuki model for some time now, they made very reliable, and durable cars, on par with Toyota and Honda (if they weren't the Daewoo models sold under license by Suzuki!) The current Swift and Jimny are also great cars but you can't buy them in the USA.
It's too bad about the decline of Honda quality. I say that they don't make them like they used to, even taking account of changed technology. I bought my '06 Honda CR-V off the showroom floor 18 years ago next month, and it still runs great. I'm 68 and intend to never get rid of it.
To each their own. I have a 2017 civic si with a 6 speed manual, no issues so far, love it. Still getting 37 mpg average and it's a very fun commuter car.
2017 Civic Sport owner. No problems so far and the CVT's robust in that car along with the 1.5l engine. I love that car more than the Chevy Malibu, Lincoln Town Car, and Volvo V70 I owned prior to it.
Feels zippy, takes off quite well...revs a little high, not overwhelming. Not a fan. But a regular transmission, u won't be getting 40 miles per gallon. 👆 Scotty opinion
Drive it for a couple of years before you speak Scotty, I have the same 2.0 engine with a cvt 2019 with 250k miles and nothing has failed on it other than the battery. Maintenance up to date. Best civic I’ve ever owned, it’ll get me to New York and back from Cali. Don’t listen to Scotty on this one. 2.0 is better than the turbo version the non si version.
That's amazing. I've had my battery replaced too, but mine only has about 50k on it. I love the 2.0 even with the CVT. It gets better gas mileage than my old 5-speed Civic.
I agree with you. They've become very refined/classy while remaining reliable. More horsepower. But...I will say even the lower trims are very "proudly" priced (even compared to a Civic Sport trim). Civic Sport I priced around $27k (stick) and Mazda3 you have to go "Premium" trim ($31k+). Like'em both.
@NVRAMboi I rented quite a few cars a few years back and a civic was one of them and my then GF was not a fan of them and she had never driven one well we got to a Mazda3 and she was impressed and couldn't say anything bad about it. I went and got me a Mazda3 2018 GT 2.5L and love to daily it.
Have a '22 Mazda 3, love the interior and driving experience. If they're still making the AWD turbo variants in five years, I'll be back in the market for one if this one stands up to the test of time.
My wife and I have a 2020 Honda Accord with a 1.5L turbo. We do not have an issue with it's performance. We have taken precautions to ensure the long life of the engine such as adding an oil catch can to prevent carbonization of the intake valves, use premium fuel to prevent detonation (to protect the head gasket from failure), replace engine oil and filter at 3000 miles (about a years driving for us as it is not our primary vehicle) and drive the car conservatively (I have never heard the turbo "spool up" (does it spool up??). We do not expect to have issues with the engine. As to the CVT transmission, this is the third vehicle we have had with a CVT and we both like the way it operates. I plan to replace the transmission fluid every 30k. The car is a dream to drive.
Im starting to sense everyone just hating on honda at this point. Corollas also have the 1.5 cvt but nobody is saying anything bad about that. I guess everyone just hates the #1
@@Boxingp4pbx exactly, my gf has a nissan sentra with 105k miles and it’s cvt transmission is already slipping. I have a 10th gen civic and my 1.5t is perfectly fine. I also know a couple of people with 10 and 11th gen civic who are happy with their car
Scotty doesn’t like CVT in general, even on Toyota. The one positive is that Toyota still offers a classic 8 speed Automatic on the Camry, the Accord has been CVT since 2013 I think.
The comment about Honda cheaping out rings true. I noticed the drop in interior quality when I went from my 2003 Accord to the 2014. Thinner carpet, thinner sun roof cover, a rattle on the passenger side when it's really cold out. My mechanic drove a new one recently and said it felt like it wasn't as solid as Hondas in the past.
I drove a 2020 Civic 2.0 and a 2019 Mazda3 AWD hatchback, I went with the Mazda3. Interior is premium quality compared to Honda or Toyota. And it has a 6spd automatic torque converter with a clutch pack. Makes it feel more engaging.
I love my 21 Accord. But knowing it has a cvt I never launch it hard from a dead stop. I do roll on it at speed and it squirts around slower traffic pretty well.
I’ve owned 16 Hondas since 1974, with eleven new ones purchased from that same dealer in Kansas that your customer bought his from. Obviously, still a fan of Honda, and a fan of that dealer. I know every car manufacturer can have an issue with their machinery from time to time, but for me, I trust the Honda product….. never had a reason to switch. By the way, if I needed a new Civic today, I’d go with a new 2024 Civic LX model, like the one in the video…. normally aspirated, 158 HP 2.0…. and because my wife can’t drive a manual shift…… the CVT…..🤣
The Sport model is a better deal. For a little more you get more options and the better wheels. The Sport model is also not turbo so the engine will last longer.
I 100% agree with you. The Civic LX models with the naturally aspirated engines are bulletproof, same with toyotas. My 2019 Civic LX runs amazing and I plan on having it for a very very long time. Hopefully Honda WON"T put the turbo engines in the LX models. Once they do that I'm buying a corolla.
I bought the 2022 Civic Sport last year and have no complaints. I really love the car. I hear Scotty's complaint on the transmission, but that doesn't matter to me personally and it's what they are putting in all the cars at this point whether we like it or not.
They're not putting the CVT in all the new cars because it's better than conventional transmissions, they're doing it because it's cheaper to use CVT and the whole gas mileage thing is not really true. I had a 2017 Altima with CVT and my mileage was 30 average, same as my sister's 2017 Camry with gear transmission. Now the new Altima CVT gets 27-37 mpg, and the new Camry higher horsepower engine 8 gear transmission gets 30-40 mpg. When I had heavy cargo in the back of my Altima it would get very sluggish with transmission slipping during red light take offs. With my new Camry heavy cargo loads it takes off a lot faster with no sluggish or slippage transmission. The reason I traded my 2017 Altima was because at 32K miles the CVT started to shutter badly sometimes during take offs and it made a very loud wizzing noise at stops. I have now over 110K miles on my Camry and it's been flawless so far.
nah, I test drove a few the other day cause of the low apr incentives they are doing, cars felt really cheap and I to floor the gas to get up to safe speed on the highway, felt awful@@johnpanagiotopoulos8539
Have the 23 sport. Not a fan of the CVT either but if it had gears, the mpg would be much worse. Take care of your Civic and it won’t give you any issues over time. I’m not worried.
I have a 2016 Civic-base and it's got 160,000 on the clock. No work done besides replacing AC condenser. Original CVT fluid, frequent oil changes. Not saying you're wrong Scotty, just saying Honda makes a damn fine machine which I don't anticipate it breaking anytime soon.
He just dislikes the cvt that's his only real complaint. Which I have to agree with. But my 2017 civic si with 6 speed manual is still going strong no problems so far and i love driving it
@@ThomasKing19933 I mean, makes sense. If I'm not towing or offroading, I guess the transmission type doesn't matter. The Hatchback civics are even offered in Manual Transmissions, making it even better. But for the Average Joe, a CVT is fine, because 40mpg is really good.
I have a 10th generation Honda Civic. (2016-2021)And there are all sorts of issues with the air conditioning for this generation. Honda finally acknowledged this and extended the warranty to 10 years and unlimited miles to replace the air conditioner condenser and compressor. However, a lot of people are also having problems with the evaporator. The evaporator is not covered under the warranty. You have to go through the dashboard to get to the evaporator, so it is very labor intensive . People are being quoted between $2000-$3000 to replace evaporator. I’ve owned my civic for four months, and I just realize the other day when I turn the air conditioner on that it’s not working. I will have to get it checked. Hopefully everything is covered under the extended warranty but if I have to replace the evaporator I’ll be out over two grand. The dealership I bought the civic from has a 90 day warranty, but I just missed it by about 10 days.
The ride is horrible on those, though. I recently rode in one and I felt my kidneys were bruised by the time I got off despite the fact the drive was on reasonably paved roads! The interior noise, both engine and road, was intolerable as well.
I bought a 2019 Civic LX two years ago because I liked the interior and the instrumentation better than the new ones. And since my last Civic was a '96 with a 5-speed, the CVT performs much better and is more fuel efficient, so it doesn't bother me at all.
I bought a 2023 Honda civic sport and the only things I hate about it is the 3rd brake light position being on the bottom, which takes some rearward visibility away, and the stupid windshield wiper sprayers, they are on the wipers instead of the sprayers and I just don’t feel like it does any good at getting rid of the crap on the windshield
In 2015 I bought that years Honda Accord at Gwinnett Place Honda Since then I put 258000 as the original owner The CVT died at 250k and I had to get it replaced with a used one Reality is a CVT can last FOR 250k if you take proper care of it. most car owners don’t put that much miles on it in a lifetime. Moral of the story is a CVT is not gonna last forever things break and will require a fix but for it to give me 250k isn’t a bad bet at all
There's a gasket but the additional RTV/Hondabond is there to ensure a good seal in the corners of the casting and where the timing cover meets the head. Easy job to replace and no issues if done right.
I agree, and it depends on the driver. I'll be dead in a casket before I drive a cvt, but they make SI with manual only, and that is what I drive. You can find a trim level for every driver that is cool.
Last October I purchased a 2024 Honda Civic Si. I absolutely love driving this car. It’s a fun, reliable and fuel efficient daily driver. I hope Scotty can review an 11th Gen Civic Si.
I wanted to get one but the stealerships here are charging more for one than the MSRP of the A-Spec Integra. Probably will just get a Miata instead lol
I have a 2022 SI. Agree 100%. It's so light and zippy, loves to be thrown around like a go kart. Perfect amount of features, my favorite is the automatic lane keeping (almost an auto pilot), the rev match, and the wireless android Apple Auto.
@@Mprikiman I just recently bought a Corolla however i am a little iffy on the sport mode since i just read most people are engaging it incorrectly and could damage your transmission if not engaged properly.
My wife's '22 Civic has a CVT manufactured in China. I do feel some worry. However I had a car with a CVT before and it never failed because as long as the fluid and its filters are replaced every 30k miles.
From what I've read, the post 2018 or 2019 cvt's (depending on the model) launch with a conventional 1st gear then transfers over to the cvt. Less stress on the cvt belt. Great idea, I think.
I was looking for cars recently and it seemed like every Honda without a manual had a CVT. Then I found out the 2.0T had a 10 speed so I got the 2020 Accord Sport 2.0T and while it gets 25 mpg mixed when I go easy on the pedals, I'm happy I went with it rather than the Civic Sport which was nice but it did have a CVT.
@@WatsonFam-l4d You are lucky. Do you drive with eco mode on? How hard do you go on the pedals? It looks like the transmission on mine was flushed at ~50k miles from the carfax records, so I'm trying to figure out what else it could be. I have to be consciously feathering the pedals to get around 22-25 mpg
I leased one of these when they first came out. I sold it before the lease was up. I'd probably say the CVT was the main reason I sold it. It wasn't the worst but it didn't have any urgency. Mine also had some interior quality issues and there was something wrong with the steering where it felt like it was sticking sometimes. I would of kept if it weren't for these issues because it was a really nice car.
I always listen to these videos when i’m driving, first time actually watching and i did not expect the picture of a seagull to pop up as Scotty made his unpatented seagull noise. Cracked me up more than it should have I appreciate Scotty’s humor lol
I learned the hard way never to trust motoring 'journalists' and their car reviews. The Ford Focus XR5 was supposed to be super reliable and such fun to drive. I found from brand new the Ford had something fail or go wild about every two weeks. After 18 months I'd had enough so I swapped it with no money involved for a bottom of the range Civic which the auto critics hated. The Honda was a far better car. So easy to drive, 100% reliability and much quicker (below 100 kph) than it's specs would suggest. Along with my old Honda Prelude, probably the best car I've had.
Depends on the trim I suppose. I did 2 3000 mile round trips in my 2017 Civic Si coupe, mostly interstate, and it did 41 mpg both times. The lower trims have skinnier tires and less horsepower, some without a turbo, so I could see 48 being feasable for the lower trims. And that was 97% ish interstate cruise at 85 mph. If you actually go the speed limit in a lower trim across the country on the interstate I could definitely see 48 mpg happening.
Theres an oil life gauge inside the gauge settings, itll be under maintenance. The engine temp gauge is the blue symbol you see in the morning when the cars warming up, when the car overheats that symbol turns red.
I sold my 2016 Civic turbo at 245,000 miles. Original turbo. Only problems were beads came loose in the a/c, and had to replace a lot there, the relay to the moon roof failed, and went through some displays.
@@michaelroche8051 You really can't blame the workers that assembled it. The engineers specified a gasket maker silicone (probably honda bond) they should be using preformed gaskets like they always did in the past.
@@horseathalt7308 It has a gasket too, you wouldn't use gasket maker on a plastic valve cover. There was a defect with these gaskets. Hondabond (the harder version, the one that's probably similar or the same as Threebond 1211-100 ) does make sense for things like engine bed plates, motorcycle case halves etc. It doesn't make sense to use a gasket for crankshaft bedplates or motorcycle case halves.
My 2021 Honda FK6, equipped with a CVT, performs exceptionally well. Living in a bustling city, it proves to be a boon. With its 130 horsepower, it accelerates from 0 to 60 in approximately 10 seconds-sufficient for my needs. Its nice aesthetics and smooth driving experience contribute to my overall satisfaction. Remarkably, I only need to refuel about once a month.
12,000 miles already leaking oil. My 2012 civic is 12 years old and hasn’t had a thing wrong with it in nearly 100,000 miles. I almost bought one of these, but I’ll stick with my trusty 2012.
@christophercarpenter3957 that engine didn't exist in 2012. It was a Honda 1.8l engine. Specifically the Honda R18Z1. I've since sold it and got a new Corolla Cross Hybrid a week ago. Great car. I chose Toyota instead of going back to Honda.
This generation Civic in general is a step backwards. Comparing the si trim specifically to the last generation, less features (no heated seats, no fog lights, no temp gauge) but much higher MSRP.
Get the right year. My 2017 Civic SI came with heated seats and fog lights from the factory, and a temp gauge. I won't buy an 11th gen because of that, but the 10th gen si has all of that. And i bought it for 23k with 30k miles on it. I got it in 2018 when it was 1 year old. Still loving it.
I have the Canadian Model of the 2023 Civic sport sedan. Has much more to offer than the US models. Currently at 45Thou km’s and not one issue since I bought it brand new from factory almost 2 years ago. Very easy car to work on, and not crazy expensive if you have the friends for parts, work etc. great car and definitely reliable if you take care of it!
Dude what's your issue lmao, literally was just letting people who potentially might buy this car that it can be reliable if you maintain it. Are you good bro? like fr you need someone to talk to or something 😅 @@mustbetrue1602
I love my SI with a 6 speed manual, mine has gears so I can down shift it when passing, to get past all the CVT's in the way. Works great. Though I still need to move into the slow lane when a civic type R wants to pass, I can't contest those lol
I bought a ‘22 Honda civic hatchback LX new. I have put 38k miles on it and only issue was the emissions system for the first 6 months. 32mi/gal on the worst day makes it worth every cent.
I have a 2023 Toyota Camry. I get over 50 mpg driving on the interstate. It has an 8 speed AT. It is the 5th year of manufacture. It has a foot operated emergency brake and a keyed ignition, not a push button start. K.I.S. I hope to drive this car for 15 years. I did my first oil change at 1k miles and my second at 5k miles. Thank you Scotty
You're a riot. I have a 2022 Civic Touring with the 1.5 T. I love it. I had a 2016 Civic EX-T which I loved as well. 214K when I sold it. Great little cars.
Biggest POS?? Ha ha! Nope. I drove my ‘02 Civic LX for 18 years and desperately needed a new(er) car. Finally bought a brand new 2023 Honda Civic Touring in January 2023. I’ve had zero problems with it so far. I don’t care about CVT vs. a transmission with actual gears. The 1.5 turbo engine is peppy and as you say, the car handles really well. I bought it mainly for safety, reliability and longevity. Honda is really moving upmarket with their cars. This new ‘23 Touring is a lot fancier than my ‘02 Civic LX! We’ll see how it goes with the turbo engine vs. naturally aspirated ones… I love the look of the new 11th gen Civics and I like the wider wheel base. It’s a beautiful car and I’m super happy with it. 😊
Starting in December of 1991 I have managed to have only MTs ('92 Honda Accord coupe 5-spd 16 years, '08 Honda Accord coupe 5-spd 13 years and now the '21 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport 6 spd,) not a fan of automatics let alone CVT, no desire to drive that. I get over 40 mpg in my '21 6-spd....I've seen it get over 44 mpg on long highway trips. (that was also right after changing the air filters, cabin and engine filters) I personally hate anything other than MTs...I have been impressed with the power and acceleration of the '21.
I just did a little research on Honda's website. The Si still has a 6 speed manual transmission, but it also has the 1.5L turbo engine known to be problematic with oil dilution. YES its 200 hp out of a 1.5L but honestly? I would rather have an older Accord V6 with the 6mt. The 7th gens make about 240-245HP in NA form with the J series engine in it, still gets almost 30 mpg on the highway, has more space and can sound real nice with an exhaust on it.
Depends on how much mpg you want. I have civic si with 70k miles no issues 37 combined mpg. Friend has si with 150k miles no issues. The SI has stronger parts in the engine than the lower trims, maybe that is why it is holding strong even with "oil dilution". Not sure, I know 3 total people with si 1.5 turbo 6 speed no issues out of any of them so far. Running reliable.
@@Boxingp4pbx I’ve never had to deal with these magically frequent repairs aside from regular preventative maintenance. Oh yeah, we had a window regulator go out. Family has had cars of all kinds of brands.
Cvts already have their own issues and now its even built in mexico. The engine is working way too hard and its already leaking. Goes to show the quality and effort they put into the car. All in the name of "protecting the environment" and "best gas mileage" meanwhile the car wont last nearly as long. Im sure if it was solely up to honda, toyota etc they would not do it. But who cares, they make massive profit and thats what matters.
Why not talk about the Honda civic 1.5L turbo gas getting into the oil issue. Effecting the oil viscosity causing pre mature engine wear. I had the issue on my 2016 ext civic, 2017 ext civic, 2021 civic sport and 2022 civic sport touring. Honda thinks they corrected the issue with a firmware update but it didn’t work. My 2022 civic sport touring blew the oil pan seal. Do some research on this it’s a huge problem swept under the rug. And the crv accord have the same 1.5
Not sure it's an issue yet on certain trims. I have a 2017 civic si with 70k miles no issues. I have a friend with an SI 150k miles, no issues. My dad has a 2022 si, no issues. Maybe other trims are having issues, even the si might have those issues, the engines are built stronger than lower trims, maybe that's why they aren't failing yet, we are all happy with them so far.
This is why I love Honda. They have a different trim level for every driver. I am also a driver looking that was looking for a fuel efficient fun car to drive. I have a 2017 civic SI coupe. Manual 6 speed transmission. 41 mpg on my 2 3000 mile round trips I took it on. Averaging 37 mpg on my commutes to work. Very fun car to drive. My dad bought a 2022 civic si after he rode in my 2017 civic si a few times. He loves his car as much as I love mine. If you like fuel economy and want a fun car to drive just get an SI. I hate CVT transmissions too, that's why I don't have one.
I bought a Toyota C-HR two weeks ago. It took me some time to get used to the CVT transmission but now I´m fine with it. Only thing I don´t like is that I´m always afraid to over-rev while the engine is still cold.
It's like the thing is I didn't really see problems with the CVT but the 10th gen is plagued with the AC condenser problem which eventually will break down but it's just ridiculous that they use the same part for like 4 years so every 10th gen has a possibility of the condenser breaking down lol I don't get why they can't just see it and fix it the next year but they had to remake the whole car
It's annoying after hearing it for most of the time you drive the car though. lol The ONLY reason the mfrs are using them is cheaper to produce and a tiny increase in fuel economy (not that individual owners would even notice, it is all about draconian govt rules and regs. We need to get rid of those regs. (CAFE)
I have had a Nissan Pulsar, I live in Thailand. The CVT in that was absolute garbage that's the reason I sold it. It had a rubber band feel about it. Mazda are the only one of the big 3 manufacturers still using torque converter autos. Your 40 mpg is that US gallons or imperial? A good video Scotty.
Sure wish these videos would be titled by what they "really" contain... I just love them, but to try to find the very excellent documentaries later is very difficult. Again just my 2-½ cents... to be as plain spoken as the videos themselves. Thanks for all you do Scotty!!! 👍
My 2023 Accord sport Hybrid is at the dealership until the January! The car kept saying keyless access problem and literally every warning light on the dash went off but when I would go back to the car hours later it started right up. Tow truck driver said nothings wrong with the battery and it’s something else. It did this 3 times in 2 months. After 2 trips to the dealer they finally found the problem. Turns out it needs a new body control module because it was defective, I haven’t even got my first oil change yet, LoL. Car drives great to me and it doesn’t struggle at all going through mountains either. The gas mileage is amazing as well but man this sucks because I actually like the car.
Please review the manual transmission hatch version. Not the Si, although I'm interested in the Si, but I'm thinking of the manual hatchback version to save money. Thank you.
@@giovanniberdejo-gallegos3569 I love it. It will get up and go, I "average" 38 mpg, and if I'm nice to it, I'll get around 42. I once drove 144 miles at 55 mph in a downpour and averaged 50 mpg.
You're talking about the Civic Sport hatchback. Stick, hatch, 5 doors, naturally aspirated 2.0L, 180-190hp. What's not to like. If I were buying a Honda right now, that's what I'd buy.
@@NVRAMboiwonder if You can have as much fun as the older Honda 4 bangers in theses. I’m talking about how much boost it can make without sleeping or machining or anything
My biggest issues with the new civics is that auto stop start and revhang and such. They just seem very "busy" compared to a manual mazda. Well that and the front end when I see it just makes me think of a kids car. Interior is nice though I wish nissan would make a coupe or cheap roadster a small step up from the versa but thats just dreaming
auto stop/start can be switched off with the push of a button on the center console, it's a thing that's just natural to me now when I start the car....easy peasy.
That's what CVT is suppose to do. Keep the rpm at peak power and torque when accelerating hard and keep it at the lowest rpm when cruising. People who can't maintain a steady cruising speed and just repeats step on the gas then let go all time probably won't like it.
Of course not, it was a defect. Fortunately Honda still has the old-fashioned Japanese approach of the engineers collecting the failed gaskets from the dealerships for analysis to identify the bad batches and recall them. But of course the defective parts should never have made it through quality control in the first place.
You might not like this but we have a 2010 Nissan sentra ser w/ 2.5 ltr engine and cvt. I find it's the best transmission for city driving. Just push the gas about 1" , don't floor it. It takes off better than if you floor it. You get up to highway speed in 2-3 seconds and it doesn't rev so hi. Just like going from reg auto to standard, there is a learning curve. Once you learn how they act and how best to use them, you will learn to love them. Only problem I've seen is when you're in stop and go bumper to bumper traffic. It wants to shift up and youll find yourself getting close to rear-ending someone. Thats where i use the manual part. It stays in low gear then. But day to day city driving it has the best power output with the least amount of effort
Shouldn't even be paying MSRP ever, the profit margin today, even on small so called economy cars is huge...You should be able to buy the basic Civic for around 20k.
I like my Honda CVT's, perhaps because I don't care what the 0-60 time is or if they are "uninspiring" to drive, frankly if things like that were still important to me I'd have kept my old Corvette. Have never had an issue with my Civic and Fit CVT's and yes, I love 40mpg....Also I'd NEVER let Scotty drive my cars.

Bought my 2022 Civic Sport in August 2022. No complaints so far. I’m not a fan of cvt either but for an economy car that’s what you get nowadays. I do feel the cvt is a vast improvement over my previous 2015 civic. It doesn’t have that annoying rubber band effect the 2015 did.
I have the 2012 Civic and never noticed a rubber band effect.
What do you mean by the rubber band effect?

The delay the transmission takes from stopped to deliver power
@atticstattic oh, got it. I have a 2018 Civic EX-T and kinda never really noticed that.
It had a more pronounced delay of power delivery. It wasn’t terrible but I’ve noticed a definite improvement in the newer cvt.
If I paid that for a new car and it had an oil leak I would be PISSED.
I just bought this exact car in a 2023 model. I like everything but the tires and rims ( black) I hate the lane departure vibration, the fact that it won’t let you set the cruise control if your seatbelt isn’t on, I hate the fact that it slows you down when you approach another vehicle ( adaptive cruise) and how the bright lights automatically come on when no one is coming.

My 2022 Civic has Sport Mode which responds very well.
I usually just keep it in Normal mode though
The Accord CVT is pretty good actually. I had a 2018 that I put a lot of miles pretty fast on and it was a very solid car. I’m not a CVT fan exactly, but the Honda CVT is ok. And, a CVT doesn’t have gears but it can have different power delivery modes so S and D positions on the gear selector makes sense and that is nice to have. Anyway they seem to last.
140k on my 2018 accord cvt no problems yet
2.4l '13 EX-L is at 238k and counting. Drain and fill every 60k miles. Valve cover gasket replaced twice (did a valve adjustment each time) due to leaks though hahaha...still appears to be a thing. I'd imagine the civic in the video also has a rubber VC gasket, the hondabond sealant is on the corners where there is a mating point.

how's that 1.5liter turbo engine on your accord though? xD
I have a 2010 Kizashi with a CVT it has a 170K on it. It is running great. The CVT works smoothly and the gas mileage is awesome.
@JCXM7624
Wow haven't heard anyone mention that Suzuki model for some time now,
they made very reliable, and durable cars, on par with Toyota and Honda (if they weren't the Daewoo models sold under license by Suzuki!) The current Swift and Jimny are also great cars but you can't buy them in the USA.
I bet 200k-300k is where we will see them start breaking
Mine has had the CVT replaced three times
I once had an 06 Civic. It absolutely flew and it consistently for 40+ mpg with a conventional transmission.
It's too bad about the decline of Honda quality. I say that they don't make them like they used to, even taking account of changed technology. I bought my '06 Honda CR-V off the showroom floor 18 years ago next month, and it still runs great. I'm 68 and intend to never get rid of it.
To each their own. I have a 2017 civic si with a 6 speed manual, no issues so far, love it. Still getting 37 mpg average and it's a very fun commuter car.
2017 Civic Sport owner. No problems so far and the CVT's robust in that car along with the 1.5l engine. I love that car more than the Chevy Malibu, Lincoln Town Car, and Volvo V70 I owned prior to it.
I wonder what he thinks about the CVT transmission?
Feels zippy, takes off quite well...revs a little high, not overwhelming. Not a fan.
But a regular transmission, u won't be getting 40 miles per gallon.

Drive it for a couple of years before you speak Scotty, I have the same 2.0 engine with a cvt 2019 with 250k miles and nothing has failed on it other than the battery. Maintenance up to date. Best civic I’ve ever owned, it’ll get me to New York and back from Cali. Don’t listen to Scotty on this one. 2.0 is better than the turbo version the non si version.
That's amazing. I've had my battery replaced too, but mine only has about 50k on it. I love the 2.0 even with the CVT. It gets better gas mileage than my old 5-speed Civic.
I prefer the Mazda 3's over the civics these days..
I agree with you. They've become very refined/classy while remaining reliable. More horsepower. But...I will say even the lower trims are very "proudly" priced (even compared to a Civic Sport trim). Civic Sport I priced around $27k (stick) and Mazda3 you have to go "Premium" trim ($31k+). Like'em both.
@NVRAMboi I rented quite a few cars a few years back and a civic was one of them and my then GF was not a fan of them and she had never driven one well we got to a Mazda3 and she was impressed and couldn't say anything bad about it. I went and got me a Mazda3 2018 GT 2.5L and love to daily it.
Have a '22 Mazda 3, love the interior and driving experience. If they're still making the AWD turbo variants in five years, I'll be back in the market for one if this one stands up to the test of time.
I praise your choice. Mazda's are more reliable and quite inexpensive.
I have a 2019 Mazda3. A very good car.
My wife and I have a 2020 Honda Accord with a 1.5L turbo. We do not have an issue with it's performance. We have taken precautions to ensure the long life of the engine such as adding an oil catch can to prevent carbonization of the intake valves, use premium fuel to prevent detonation (to protect the head gasket from failure), replace engine oil and filter at 3000 miles (about a years driving for us as it is not our primary vehicle) and drive the car conservatively (I have never heard the turbo "spool up" (does it spool up??). We do not expect to have issues with the engine.
As to the CVT transmission, this is the third vehicle we have had with a CVT and we both like the way it operates. I plan to replace the transmission fluid every 30k.
The car is a dream to drive.
Im starting to sense everyone just hating on honda at this point. Corollas also have the 1.5 cvt but nobody is saying anything bad about that. I guess everyone just hates the #1
Toyota CVTs have a real mechanical 1st gear....just for a huge difference.
Toyota cvt is different and reliable. Unsure about Honda
@@Boxingp4pbx exactly, my gf has a nissan sentra with 105k miles and it’s cvt transmission is already slipping. I have a 10th gen civic and my 1.5t is perfectly fine. I also know a couple of people with 10 and 11th gen civic who are happy with their car
We have to get less poor because the audi a3 you coukd say maybe itll be unreliable but man is that thing good.
Scotty doesn’t like CVT in general, even on Toyota. The one positive is that Toyota still offers a classic 8 speed Automatic on the Camry, the Accord has been CVT since 2013 I think.
The comment about Honda cheaping out rings true. I noticed the drop in interior quality when I went from my 2003 Accord to the 2014. Thinner carpet, thinner sun roof cover, a rattle on the passenger side when it's really cold out. My mechanic drove a new one recently and said it felt like it wasn't as solid as Hondas in the past.
My 2023 Camry Hybrid is rattling on the driver side, roof, in the dash, and passenger side after 7k miles.
2013-2017 accord did go up in quiet refinement, way more quiet than my 99 Odyssey
More soft touch or thicker plastic in an old Honda than now. It might look aesthetically better, but as it ages, the creeks will start.
I drove a 2020 Civic 2.0 and a 2019 Mazda3 AWD hatchback, I went with the Mazda3. Interior is premium quality compared to Honda or Toyota. And it has a 6spd automatic torque converter with a clutch pack. Makes it feel more engaging.
I love my 21 Accord. But knowing it has a cvt I never launch it hard from a dead stop. I do roll on it at speed and it squirts around slower traffic pretty well.
I went from Toyota to Mazda. Same drive train in mostly every model that Mazda keeps improving every year. I like that.
I have a '21 Civic with the 1.5l, I didn't care for the CVT at first but I love it now. 40k miles and zero issues.
Sell it now while you still can
@TheAnnoyingBoss what a joke you are 😂
I've never bought a cvt, not my style. But the Civic si with the 6 speed manual is fire. I love it.
I’ve owned 16 Hondas since 1974, with eleven new ones purchased from that same dealer in Kansas that your customer bought his from. Obviously, still a fan of Honda, and a fan of that dealer. I know every car manufacturer can have an issue with their machinery from time to time, but for me, I trust the Honda product….. never had a reason to switch. By the way, if I needed a new Civic today, I’d go with a new 2024 Civic LX model, like the one in the video…. normally aspirated, 158 HP 2.0…. and because my wife can’t drive a manual shift…… the CVT…..🤣
The Sport model is a better deal. For a little more you get more options and the better wheels. The Sport model is also not turbo so the engine will last longer.
I 100% agree with you. The Civic LX models with the naturally aspirated engines are bulletproof, same with toyotas. My 2019 Civic LX runs amazing and I plan on having it for a very very long time. Hopefully Honda WON"T put the turbo engines in the LX models. Once they do that I'm buying a corolla.
Hondas are amazing. Maintain them well and they last a LONG time. 👍
Honda dropped the Civic LX trim for 2024.
@@deepthinker999 No they did not. The 2023 models didn’t have an LX but they brought it back for 2024.
I bought the 2022 Civic Sport last year and have no complaints. I really love the car. I hear Scotty's complaint on the transmission, but that doesn't matter to me personally and it's what they are putting in all the cars at this point whether we like it or not.
Not Mazda
They're not putting the CVT in all the new cars because it's better than conventional transmissions, they're doing it because it's cheaper to use CVT and the whole gas mileage thing is not really true. I had a 2017 Altima with CVT and my mileage was 30 average, same as my sister's 2017 Camry with gear transmission. Now the new Altima CVT gets 27-37 mpg, and the new Camry higher horsepower engine 8 gear transmission gets 30-40 mpg. When I had heavy cargo in the back of my Altima it would get very sluggish with transmission slipping during red light take offs. With my new Camry heavy cargo loads it takes off a lot faster with no sluggish or slippage transmission. The reason I traded my 2017 Altima was because at 32K miles the CVT started to shutter badly sometimes during take offs and it made a very loud wizzing noise at stops. I have now over 110K miles on my Camry and it's been flawless so far.
@@bradlambe3953 Yeah, they are a good option for someone who doesn’t want CVT. They are definitely underrated in general too.
Mazda is the best.
nah, I test drove a few the other day cause of the low apr incentives they are doing, cars felt really cheap and I to floor the gas to get up to safe speed on the highway, felt awful@@johnpanagiotopoulos8539
Have the 23 sport. Not a fan of the CVT either but if it had gears, the mpg would be much worse. Take care of your Civic and it won’t give you any issues over time. I’m not worried.
If you want to move more, get an EX, they have a turbo.
I have a 2016 Civic-base and it's got 160,000 on the clock. No work done besides replacing AC condenser. Original CVT fluid, frequent oil changes. Not saying you're wrong Scotty, just saying Honda makes a damn fine machine which I don't anticipate it breaking anytime soon.
He just dislikes the cvt that's his only real complaint. Which I have to agree with. But my 2017 civic si with 6 speed manual is still going strong no problems so far and i love driving it
It was all going okay until you mentioned 'CVT', Scotty.
Corolla has CVT too, that doesn't matter??? It's an economy car, no one cares if it's a regular auto or CVT.
@@FullsendOffroad Okay.
@@ThomasKing19933 I mean, makes sense. If I'm not towing or offroading, I guess the transmission type doesn't matter. The Hatchback civics are even offered in Manual Transmissions, making it even better. But for the Average Joe, a CVT is fine, because 40mpg is really good.
The civics had cvts since 2000 or so

Have a 2017 civic SI. Not only no complaints, but I love the car, I might even buy another one after this one expires, it's so good.
I have a 10th generation Honda Civic. (2016-2021)And there are all sorts of issues with the air conditioning for this generation. Honda finally acknowledged this and extended the warranty to 10 years and unlimited miles to replace the air conditioner condenser and compressor. However, a lot of people are also having problems with the evaporator. The evaporator is not covered under the warranty. You have to go through the dashboard to get to the evaporator, so it is very labor intensive . People are being quoted between $2000-$3000 to replace evaporator. I’ve owned my civic for four months, and I just realize the other day when I turn the air conditioner on that it’s not working. I will have to get it checked. Hopefully everything is covered under the extended warranty but if I have to replace the evaporator I’ll be out over two grand. The dealership I bought the civic from has a 90 day warranty, but I just missed it by about 10 days.
Must have had a lemon. My 2017 Civic SI is still running flawlessly and perfect AC.
My wife has a 2017 Civic with CCV transmission and so far it has caused us no trouble.
Nissan Versa manual $17k keeps the econo in econobox with no expensive cvt, gdi or turbo maintenance and repairs down the road. 42mpg
even good old drum brakes in the rear on that one too. Last of the simple economy cars. . for 17k its surely worth it considering todays car prices.
The ride is horrible on those, though. I recently rode in one and I felt my kidneys were bruised by the time I got off despite the fact the drive was on reasonably paved roads! The interior noise, both engine and road, was intolerable as well.
Nice to hear comments about the Versa. Great price point. I'd want the manual trans also. "It just works" is fine by me.

I bought a 2019 Civic LX two years ago because I liked the interior and the instrumentation better than the new ones. And since my last Civic was a '96 with a 5-speed, the CVT performs much better and is more fuel efficient, so it doesn't bother me at all.
Facts, I have a 2019 Civic LX as well and I understand what Scotty is saying, but I have no problems with the noises from the CVT.
I bought a 2023 Honda civic sport and the only things I hate about it is the 3rd brake light position being on the bottom, which takes some rearward visibility away, and the stupid windshield wiper sprayers, they are on the wipers instead of the sprayers and I just don’t feel like it does any good at getting rid of the crap on the windshield
In 2015 I bought that years Honda Accord at Gwinnett Place Honda
Since then I put 258000 as the original owner
The CVT died at 250k and I had to get it replaced with a used one
Reality is a CVT can last FOR 250k if you take proper care of it. most car owners don’t put that much miles on it in a lifetime.
Moral of the story is a CVT is not gonna last forever things break and will require a fix but for it to give me 250k isn’t a bad bet at all
Hoe oftrn did you change transmission fluid?
I rented one of the new Civics a few months ago. Very nice car overall but the CVT was also my problem with it.
reliable
Learn to drive a manual
CVT..... DON'T DO IT.
Get an SI, you get a manual 6 speed with a turbo, it still gets good mpg and very fun to drive for a daily.
There's a gasket but the additional RTV/Hondabond is there to ensure a good seal in the corners of the casting and where the timing cover meets the head. Easy job to replace and no issues if done right.
204k miles, running strong. cvts arent an issue unless the owner is.
I agree, and it depends on the driver. I'll be dead in a casket before I drive a cvt, but they make SI with manual only, and that is what I drive. You can find a trim level for every driver that is cool.
I own a 2017 no turbo, cvt. Great car, gets 43 highway. Zero maintenance.
That seagull at 1:34 got me rolling. Great edits Scotty
Also stay away from the Honda 1.5t engines. They have issues with premature head gasket failure.
Because it is turbo. Go for the 2 litter
Last October I purchased a 2024 Honda Civic Si. I absolutely love driving this car. It’s a fun, reliable and fuel efficient daily driver. I hope Scotty can review an 11th Gen Civic Si.
I wanted to get one but the stealerships here are charging more for one than the MSRP of the A-Spec Integra. Probably will just get a Miata instead lol
I have a 2022 SI. Agree 100%. It's so light and zippy, loves to be thrown around like a go kart. Perfect amount of features, my favorite is the automatic lane keeping (almost an auto pilot), the rev match, and the wireless android Apple Auto.

My wife's '22 Civic has a CVT manufactured in China. I do feel some worry. However I had a car with a CVT before and it never failed because as long as the fluid and its filters are replaced every 30k miles.
From what I've read, the post 2018 or 2019 cvt's (depending on the model) launch with a conventional 1st gear then transfers over to the cvt. Less stress on the cvt belt. Great idea, I think.

@@WatsonFam-l4d You are lucky. Do you drive with eco mode on? How hard do you go on the pedals? It looks like the transmission on mine was flushed at ~50k miles from the carfax records, so I'm trying to figure out what else it could be. I have to be consciously feathering the pedals to get around 22-25 mpg
I leased one of these when they first came out. I sold it before the lease was up. I'd probably say the CVT was the main reason I sold it. It wasn't the worst but it didn't have any urgency. Mine also had some interior quality issues and there was something wrong with the steering where it felt like it was sticking sometimes. I would of kept if it weren't for these issues because it was a really nice car.

I learned the hard way never to trust motoring 'journalists' and their car reviews. The Ford Focus XR5 was supposed to be super reliable and such fun to drive. I found from brand new the Ford had something fail or go wild about every two weeks. After 18 months I'd had enough so I swapped it with no money involved for a bottom of the range Civic which the auto critics hated. The Honda was a far better car. So easy to drive, 100% reliability and much quicker (below 100 kph) than it's specs would suggest. Along with my old Honda Prelude, probably the best car I've had.
The oil dilution problems are killing Honda's reputation for reliability.
You can get 48 mpg on hwy..conservative driving.

@@Gunhawk817 to 65
Depends on the trim I suppose. I did 2 3000 mile round trips in my 2017 Civic Si coupe, mostly interstate, and it did 41 mpg both times. The lower trims have skinnier tires and less horsepower, some without a turbo, so I could see 48 being feasable for the lower trims. And that was 97% ish interstate cruise at 85 mph. If you actually go the speed limit in a lower trim across the country on the interstate I could definitely see 48 mpg happening.
Theres an oil life gauge inside the gauge settings, itll be under maintenance. The engine temp gauge is the blue symbol you see in the morning when the cars warming up, when the car overheats that symbol turns red.
My Subaru has those, too. The Oil Life isn't the same as an Oil Pressure gauge however
I hate that they took out the digital dashboard tho. It was way better in 2016
I would much prefer having an engine temperature gauge though vs the blue symbol. Otherwise if the symbol turns red, it might be too late.

With its 130 horsepower, it accelerates from 0 to 60 in approximately 10 seconds-sufficient for my needs. Its nice aesthetics and smooth driving experience contribute to my overall satisfaction. Remarkably, I only need to refuel about once a month.
Is that the 1.0 turbo in Europe?
yes@@TassieLorenzo
12,000 miles already leaking oil. My 2012 civic is 12 years old and hasn’t had a thing wrong with it in nearly 100,000 miles. I almost bought one of these, but I’ll stick with my trusty 2012.
You have the 1.5t?
@christophercarpenter3957 that engine didn't exist in 2012. It was a Honda 1.8l engine. Specifically the Honda R18Z1. I've since sold it and got a new Corolla Cross Hybrid a week ago. Great car. I chose Toyota instead of going back to Honda.
I missread that, car in the vid probably will leak oil but its just a silicone imperfection now@carlosmcse
@christophercarpenter3957 my new Corolla Cross has a 1.8l engine that uses steel gaskets instead of silicone crap.
My 2017 civic si hasn't leaked any oil yet. Crossing my fingers. Love the car, no issues so far.
This generation Civic in general is a step backwards. Comparing the si trim specifically to the last generation, less features (no heated seats, no fog lights, no temp gauge) but much higher MSRP.
Get the right year. My 2017 Civic SI came with heated seats and fog lights from the factory, and a temp gauge. I won't buy an 11th gen because of that, but the 10th gen si has all of that. And i bought it for 23k with 30k miles on it. I got it in 2018 when it was 1 year old. Still loving it.
Scotty's channel, when he is test driving a car, is the only one to make me car sick.
Mind boggling that this old dude with a shaky camera has over 6 million subs.
I have the Canadian Model of the 2023 Civic sport sedan. Has much more to offer than the US models. Currently at 45Thou km’s and not one issue since I bought it brand new from factory almost 2 years ago. Very easy car to work on, and not crazy expensive if you have the friends for parts, work etc. great car and definitely reliable if you take care of it!
Got 180K on my 16 2.0 with the CVT but I change the CVT Fluid and filter every 10K
Dude what's your issue lmao, literally was just letting people who potentially might buy this car that it can be reliable if you maintain it.
Are you good bro? like fr you need someone to talk to or something 😅 @@mustbetrue1602
I love my CVT but mine has paddle shifters so I can down shift it when passing. Works great.
I love my SI with a 6 speed manual, mine has gears so I can down shift it when passing, to get past all the CVT's in the way. Works great. Though I still need to move into the slow lane when a civic type R wants to pass, I can't contest those lol
I plan to drive my 2014 Civic, which was purchased new, until the wheels fall off!
I bought a ‘22 Honda civic hatchback LX new. I have put 38k miles on it and only issue was the emissions system for the first 6 months. 32mi/gal on the worst day makes it worth every cent.
HOly crap :) 2017 civic si 6 speed manual here the worst I've gotten it down was 34 mpg and it's much faster than an lx. LX sounds like a rip off lol
Toyota and Honda cvt are almost bulletproof unlike others auto companies.
I have a 2023 Toyota Camry. I get over 50 mpg driving on the interstate. It has an 8 speed AT. It is the 5th year of manufacture. It has a foot operated emergency brake and a keyed ignition, not a push button start. K.I.S. I hope to drive this car for 15 years. I did my first oil change at 1k miles and my second at 5k miles. Thank you Scotty
Hondas are great vehicle
You're a riot. I have a 2022 Civic Touring with the 1.5 T. I love it. I had a 2016 Civic EX-T which I loved as well. 214K when I sold it. Great little cars.
All the houses in your neighborhood are exactly the same. It looks like a movie set.😀
Biggest POS?? Ha ha! Nope.
I drove my ‘02 Civic LX for 18 years and desperately needed a new(er) car. Finally bought a brand new 2023 Honda Civic Touring in January 2023. I’ve had zero problems with it so far.
I don’t care about CVT vs. a transmission with actual gears. The 1.5 turbo engine is peppy and as you say, the car handles really well. I bought it mainly for safety, reliability and longevity.
Honda is really moving upmarket with their cars. This new ‘23 Touring is a lot fancier than my ‘02 Civic LX! We’ll see how it goes with the turbo engine vs. naturally aspirated ones… I love the look of the new 11th gen Civics and I like the wider wheel base. It’s a beautiful car and I’m super happy with it. 😊
The Civic has a recall for the steering system.
I’ve got 85k miles on my Honda CVT and no issues
Wasn't this the best car ever last week?
Starting in December of 1991 I have managed to have only MTs ('92 Honda Accord coupe 5-spd 16 years, '08 Honda Accord coupe 5-spd 13 years and now the '21 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport 6 spd,) not a fan of automatics let alone CVT, no desire to drive that. I get over 40 mpg in my '21 6-spd....I've seen it get over 44 mpg on long highway trips. (that was also right after changing the air filters, cabin and engine filters) I personally hate anything other than MTs...I have been impressed with the power and acceleration of the '21.
9:13 Scotty doesn’t like things from mexico but loves to pig out on Tuesday Enchiladas night at Mexican restaurant 😂 lmao that’s hilarious 🤣 😂
The enchiladas he eats are made here in the US, in Nashville. This Honda transmission is made in Mexico. So…
I just did a little research on Honda's website. The Si still has a 6 speed manual transmission, but it also has the 1.5L turbo engine known to be problematic with oil dilution. YES its 200 hp out of a 1.5L but honestly? I would rather have an older Accord V6 with the 6mt. The 7th gens make about 240-245HP in NA form with the J series engine in it, still gets almost 30 mpg on the highway, has more space and can sound real nice with an exhaust on it.
The 2.0 engine is 100% solid. Reliable if you care for it
Depends on how much mpg you want. I have civic si with 70k miles no issues 37 combined mpg. Friend has si with 150k miles no issues. The SI has stronger parts in the engine than the lower trims, maybe that is why it is holding strong even with "oil dilution". Not sure, I know 3 total people with si 1.5 turbo 6 speed no issues out of any of them so far. Running reliable.
Change the CVT fluid every 30K. Change the oil NO less than 30% MM (approx 5K). Don't drive it like a WRX. This car will last almost forever.
@@Boxingp4pbxYeah but they’re incredibly boring.
It would def outlast the WRX no matter what lol
@@Boxingp4pbx I’ve never had to deal with these magically frequent repairs aside from regular preventative maintenance. Oh yeah, we had a window regulator go out. Family has had cars of all kinds of brands.
Better idea. Get the SI with a 6 speed manual and drive it like a wrx. This car will last almost forever.
Cvts already have their own issues and now its even built in mexico. The engine is working way too hard and its already leaking. Goes to show the quality and effort they put into the car. All in the name of "protecting the environment" and "best gas mileage" meanwhile the car wont last nearly as long. Im sure if it was solely up to honda, toyota etc they would not do it. But who cares, they make massive profit and thats what matters.
Why not talk about the Honda civic 1.5L turbo gas getting into the oil issue. Effecting the oil viscosity causing pre mature engine wear. I had the issue on my 2016 ext civic, 2017 ext civic, 2021 civic sport and 2022 civic sport touring. Honda thinks they corrected the issue with a firmware update but it didn’t work. My 2022 civic sport touring blew the oil pan seal. Do some research on this it’s a huge problem swept under the rug. And the crv accord have the same 1.5
Not sure it's an issue yet on certain trims. I have a 2017 civic si with 70k miles no issues. I have a friend with an SI 150k miles, no issues. My dad has a 2022 si, no issues. Maybe other trims are having issues, even the si might have those issues, the engines are built stronger than lower trims, maybe that's why they aren't failing yet, we are all happy with them so far.
This is why I love Honda. They have a different trim level for every driver. I am also a driver looking that was looking for a fuel efficient fun car to drive. I have a 2017 civic SI coupe. Manual 6 speed transmission. 41 mpg on my 2 3000 mile round trips I took it on. Averaging 37 mpg on my commutes to work. Very fun car to drive. My dad bought a 2022 civic si after he rode in my 2017 civic si a few times. He loves his car as much as I love mine. If you like fuel economy and want a fun car to drive just get an SI. I hate CVT transmissions too, that's why I don't have one.
That's what I like about Mazda. They haven't discovered CVT transmissions yet 😂 👍
Those 6 speed automatics are bulletproof
I'm seriously considering a Mazda 3 S Premium Hatchback w/ 6-speed manual very soon. Gotta test drive it first.
I agree, but they now have cylinder deactivation..
@@parnpichate I had a 2014 Mazda 6 with the 6 speed automatic. Drove it 7 years and 120k without a single repair.
@@robbyjay8119 true. They really blew it with that
I bought a Toyota C-HR two weeks ago.
It took me some time to get used to the CVT transmission but now I´m fine with it.
Only thing I don´t like is that I´m always afraid to over-rev while the engine is still cold.
It's like the thing is I didn't really see problems with the CVT but the 10th gen is plagued with the AC condenser problem which eventually will break down but it's just ridiculous that they use the same part for like 4 years so every 10th gen has a possibility of the condenser breaking down lol I don't get why they can't just see it and fix it the next year but they had to remake the whole car
Breaking News: Honda AC components have always been made of glass ... guaranteed to fail at around 41k mi ( factory 3yr/36k warranty be damned)
@@michaelsocash3407 Not true on our 2003 CRV, that car had 0 issues before I sold it with 100K.
CVT Transmissions are here for the foreseeable future. They do feel artificial and take the fun out of driving if you are a driver type
CVTs deliver that high revving sound of power.
It's annoying after hearing it for most of the time you drive the car though. lol
The ONLY reason the mfrs are using them is cheaper to produce and a tiny increase in fuel economy (not that individual owners would even notice, it is all about draconian govt rules and regs. We need to get rid of those regs. (CAFE)
I have had a Nissan Pulsar, I live in Thailand. The CVT in that was absolute garbage that's the reason I sold it. It had a rubber band feel about it.
Mazda are the only one of the big 3 manufacturers still using torque converter autos.
Your 40 mpg is that US gallons or imperial?
A good video Scotty.
Sure wish these videos would be titled by what they "really" contain... I just love them, but to try to find the very excellent documentaries later is very difficult. Again just my 2-½ cents... to be as plain spoken as the videos themselves. Thanks for all you do Scotty!!! 👍
he does that all the time...I like Scotty but that's goofy
I got a 23 Honda civic touring sport with 1.5 L turbo with the 6 speed manual. Awesome car.
My 2023 Accord sport Hybrid is at the dealership until the January! The car kept saying keyless access problem and literally every warning light on the dash went off but when I would go back to the car hours later it started right up. Tow truck driver said nothings wrong with the battery and it’s something else. It did this 3 times in 2 months. After 2 trips to the dealer they finally found the problem. Turns out it needs a new body control module because it was defective, I haven’t even got my first oil change yet, LoL. Car drives great to me and it doesn’t struggle at all going through mountains either. The gas mileage is amazing as well but man this sucks because I actually like the car.
Hope it is not a lemon. If smth else happens, you should force them to replace the vehicle or get full reimbursement.
I hate car problems
@@veratoloz I agree 100 percent! They gave me a loaner car until they are done.
@@1Yhadatmiseh especially when it’s brand new and cost almost $40,000 for a Honda at that smh. I actually like the car too
Scotty I got a 2020 honda crv with the 1.5 L cvt and no problems at all 55k miles going strong
I have a 2013 civic with CVT and about to turn 200k on it. Also a 2016 with 155k. No issues…..yet. 😂
THat's because its not a NISSAN CVT... *bleargh*
The 2013 still has a 5spd Auto
2016 is the best
Almost 170,000 on my 2015 Civic with a CVT. I change the CVT transmission fluid every 30,000. No problems so far.
@LivingInAnInverseReality absolutely. This must be done. 😉
My old CVCC had an O Ring and it did not leak.
It never had Taco Bell then
Please review the manual transmission hatch version. Not the Si, although I'm interested in the Si, but I'm thinking of the manual hatchback version to save money. Thank you.
Get the Si, if you can. So worth it.
@@giovanniberdejo-gallegos3569 I love it. It will get up and go, I "average" 38 mpg, and if I'm nice to it, I'll get around 42. I once drove 144 miles at 55 mph in a downpour and averaged 50 mpg.
You're talking about the Civic Sport hatchback. Stick, hatch, 5 doors, naturally aspirated 2.0L, 180-190hp. What's not to like. If I were buying a Honda right now, that's what I'd buy.
@@NVRAMboiwonder if You can have as much fun as the older Honda 4 bangers in theses. I’m talking about how much boost it can make without sleeping or machining or anything
Bc I know they make turbo versions, but I Wonder if they can hold up like the og ones could.
My biggest issues with the new civics is that auto stop start and revhang and such. They just seem very "busy" compared to a manual mazda. Well that and the front end when I see it just makes me think of a kids car. Interior is nice though
I wish nissan would make a coupe or cheap roadster a small step up from the versa but thats just dreaming
auto stop/start can be switched off with the push of a button on the center console, it's a thing that's just natural to me now when I start the car....easy peasy.
That's what CVT is suppose to do. Keep the rpm at peak power and torque when accelerating hard and keep it at the lowest rpm when cruising. People who can't maintain a steady cruising speed and just repeats step on the gas then let go all time probably won't like it.
That's why they make the SI trim. I'm a driver and I need my acceleration and 6 speed manual. I love it.
A year old and it has a leak...ffs, itty bitty or not...that ain't right!
Of course not, it was a defect. Fortunately Honda still has the old-fashioned Japanese approach of the engineers collecting the failed gaskets from the dealerships for analysis to identify the bad batches and recall them. But of course the defective parts should never have made it through quality control in the first place.
You might not like this but we have a 2010 Nissan sentra ser w/ 2.5 ltr engine and cvt. I find it's the best transmission for city driving. Just push the gas about 1" , don't floor it. It takes off better than if you floor it. You get up to highway speed in 2-3 seconds and it doesn't rev so hi. Just like going from reg auto to standard, there is a learning curve. Once you learn how they act and how best to use them, you will learn to love them. Only problem I've seen is when you're in stop and go bumper to bumper traffic. It wants to shift up and youll find yourself getting close to rear-ending someone. Thats where i use the manual part. It stays in low gear then. But day to day city driving it has the best power output with the least amount of effort
Not 1 penny over msrp ever. Don't care who made the thing.
Shouldn't even be paying MSRP ever, the profit margin today, even on small so called economy cars is huge...You should be able to buy the basic Civic for around 20k.
I like my Honda CVT's, perhaps because I don't care what the 0-60 time is or if they are "uninspiring" to drive, frankly if things like that were still important to me I'd have kept my old Corvette. Have never had an issue with my Civic and Fit CVT's and yes, I love 40mpg....Also I'd NEVER let Scotty drive my cars.
Toyota Corolla has a cvt also and it’s slower than a civic and it looks cheap
And they're much uglier too!
