I took my 1997 Civic to Florida, Arizona, the Yukon, New Hampshire, and everywhere in between! *Not at the same time* Car is pushing 300k miles and is still great!
@@R.G.LovesBooks I'd to a coolant flush, deep cleaning the radiator making it run cooler, the proper temp for seals and gaskets. Make sure your suspension is up to par, good tires, brakes, alternator, and that your head gasket is in good shape and you should be fine. Toyota uses quality pumps and interals so you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
my 97 civic ran great, until it overheated a couple times and blew the head gasket...It even ran well WITH the blown gasket....270k miles...But im not giving up on it, Im replacing the gasket myself!
@@SJHFoto I barely drove it after that..Didn't notice anything until I noticed the coolant was low. It wasn't overheating..So I parked it at that point. Head wasn't warped, have the new gasket on... Unfortunately one of the rocker arms fell underneath the assembly and broke when we were cranking it down, so have to go to a picknpull and grab another, but should be good to go
During college I would drive from Ohio to Missouri and Minnesota in my 2002 Honda accord v6 ex coupe. I had it until 2023 until I sold it with 829,900 miles on it!
you are making me feels proud as a honda owner myself here in Singapore for paying so many times more comparing to America. Honda is a great car that can lasts tons of mileage and they always do... good job i am always happy to see more Honda going on a road trip effortlessly never possible with Conti cars they require way more attention and they are NOT built to lasts a long time. Keep going millions miles Honda.....
Even over here we love Hondas! They are great, cheap, reliable, good on gas. All around great car. And very upgradable, some of the four cylinder's they made can make upwards of 2000hp!!!!
I won a 2001 honda civic ferio. What u said is absolutely r8. The ac is really powerfull. But out in the sun i have always felt it underperforming. All thought about putting up some lite tint. Now this comment made it sure for me. Kudos to you bro
Drove my 97 civic lx, d16y8 swapped, from lauderhill FL, to queens NY and drove back with ZERO ISSUES 275k on chassis and 191k on motor bone stock other than i.h.e obviously lol , 18 hours none stop straight driving there and back, hondas are made for shit like these bro , glad to see another older civic doing it too lol
@@MrImpalaracing I did make it, I did this trip twice in the car, so a total of roughly 2400+ miles on a motor that had almost 200k miles on it with zero issues
@@MrImpalaracing yes sir, I take care of my car tho I'm a mechanic so all the work on the car was done by my self and I never had to open the motor once, bought it around 115k miles, and now my younger brother owns it and plans on k swapping it in a few months
i have 2012 honda civic lx...140k miles on it. i was little afraid to dive. but i think i can keep it up more... cuz u. thanks man!!! i will keep going with my civic
Thats not even broken in. Our 2013 Acura ILX Tech just passed 147,000 (practically same car) and it still runs just like a new car. Wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere at all!
Finished the road trip and went smooth other than high altitude and thanks to your video after watching it I wasn’t as anxious since I’m not the only crazy one ☝🏼
I remember me and older brother drove a 96 Toyota Corolla 5 speed manual cross country from Florida to LA stayed for a bit visiting family then went to Seattle then back to Florida only thing we did was engine gaskets it was leaking oil and radiator but the gas mileage was really good and never have any problems I still have the car 256,000 miles and still strong.
Hey, I want to thank you for making this roadtrip video and not using vulgar language-there are so many roadtrip vids I would have loved to see, but the people in them keep using dirty language
My civic is 14. I plan on a long trip soon. I hope my she makes it. My honda accord made a long trip last year and she was 16 years old with 176000 miles and she was great on the 395 CA highway. I only buy Honda now. Hehehehe
just now watching this. I love the vibe of this video. its just very calming to me, cruising around in a 90s- early 2k, civic with the dog just alone on the road.
My dad drove a 94 civic EX COUPE! 130,000 miles when we got in a accident last year with it. Low miles on that car. He wants a truck now and were gonna a 1986 Nissan D21. Maybe we should make a video like yours lol Edit: we didn’t get the 86 but now he wants to see a 87 💀
Here in two weeks I have to fly back out to lax to pick up my 95 coupe I left to get painted then I gotta drive it back to Omaha ne where I live idk which is a longer drive but it sure will be fun
bit late, im taking my 6th gen to vegas from portland, any tips? also did you have any handling problems such as , wheel shake, pulling to left/right, over heating ?
Plaining on going to Florida from Toronto about a 24 hour just thought I’d ask this question if anyone can help me, I got a 01 dodge caravan with 135km changed a lot of things on it like breaks some suspension but still worried it won’t make it? Maybe I’m overthinking ? What you guys think
You overthinking my family drives a 2006 expedition with 300k miles on it and we stopped taking it because we got a new expedition. Still could go across country in the old one
I have a 2000 civic Lx. My wife thinks it’s an old piece of crap. She doesn’t understand the value on a car having 175K miles and still being able to outrun and outperform some of the cheaper but all chassis 2022 models that break after 20K. just change the oil and do regular maintenance and the civic will be fine.
Kinda crazy/ funny to me how it sits at 2500rpms just over 60mph, maybe it was climbing a hill or something but even my 130hp Nissan Sentra chills lower than that lol
I have a 07 Camry XLE V6 with nearly 160k miles and I have driven mine to Vegas, San Francisco, near the Mexican border, and later this summer I'm going to do what I always wanted to do drive across the entire Pacific Northwest starting from L.A to Vancouver B.C later this summer.
Because its a dog, dont want it running around in the back while youre doing over a hundred and soiling in the seat. Snowflakes act like the dog was in a box or in the trunk 🤦♂️
I have a 2000 Honda Accord and I drove from San Antonio Texas to Miami Florida. The car made it easily no problems.
I have a 2003 Honda accord. Want to go from Florida to carolina to see grandma for Xmas. Was worried if my old gal would make it
I took my 1997 Civic to Florida, Arizona, the Yukon, New Hampshire, and everywhere in between! *Not at the same time* Car is pushing 300k miles and is still great!
