are 8-9th gen honda accords (european version, are they different than american LX or acura brand nam,e..) ? are those worth buying, since tehy are used and old cars... cant get hold of one.. they sell like warm bread on used car market here locally in e ast-europe. not surprised for the price class.. they look "premium" and less "cheap" than other cars in the same bracket, also 8-9th gen honda prolly look the best as well...
I needed this Scotty. What year is good? They just totaled my Corolla 2014 65k miles. Some dope blew a stop sign and I have no car! Looking at Honda civics for days.
This man is incredible, I started seeing him 10 years ago when I started studying automotive mechanics and I had to translate everything into Spanish although his videos are very explanatory and at this point part of the reason I decided to learn English is because of this man, greetings from El Salvador, Scotty! 💪
@@mjngp 🙋🏻♂️Hi, best wishes from N.S.W Australia ❤️ I always watch his videos. I've learnt so much about my car, how parts work, what they do, why they're there and how to fix them 👍
Have a 2000 Honda Civic. Got it about three weeks ago (2024). Still runs like a champ, though the odometer does not work. Not sure what is wrong with it. Just saying. 🕷
My wife bought a new Honda Civic 4dr, 5 speed manual transmission in 1988. That was a beautiful car, we kept that car 20 years, it had 240k miles on it and still ran great.
Inherited a 1988 Civic Sedan, 5 speed manual transmission. Now has 130K. 35 to 40 mpg in town, 40+ on hwy. No power steering, no air conditioning, crank windows. Still going strong.
The GL version of the civic in 1988 was much better and still relatable to a modern car. Yes P/S, air and electric windows. Your grandparents were just povo lol
The real metric is cost of ownership with all maintenance done on time. Hard to measure that on a newer car. The one benefit of older cars is the lack of touch screens and other unnecessary electronics.
I actually think that rule applies to pretty much everything. I really do. Something died. Over the past 20 years? We lost something important, and I don’t think it’s retrievable. Convenience replaced necessity as the ‘mother of invention’ and people stopped taking pride in their work. Everything is held together with a stick pin and a wad of chewing gum. Made to last just long enough to pass the return date. It’s shameful.
Still driving my 1993 EXR Accord, 186,000, 30 years old! I looked after it VERY very well. I'll be selling it soon as I want 1 last car, SUV, so I sit up higher, and while I'm still working. I know I'll miss my car. I know they don't build cars like mine anymore 😢 I bought it brand new, lady driven. She has been a true gem 💎 the whole time I have owned it. ❤
09 Honda Accord 4 banger. 123k miles. Had it for 15 years and passed it down to my daughter. Hopefully it will last another 15 years so my son can drive it.
My wife has a 2013 Civic, 230,000 never been in the shop once for an issue. I just replaced the shocks and rotors and belt, and one wheel bearing. It’s been an awesome car we’re gonna see how far it can go. Next car will be a Subaru since Honda ruined theirs.
Still daily driving my 98 accord. almost 352k miles on the original powertrain, even though the automatic tranmissions are known to fail earlier. That car is the reason I got into DIY auto maintenance and how I found this channel!
We had a 2001 accord. I took care of that car like it was a baby... but someone with monster wheels pulled out of a parking lot and ran over then hood/front end. Insurance took it. It only has 126k miles. Someone bought it at auction and resold it for 3,600 on Facebook. Miss that car. Saved the sale posting for memories.
I know this is a civic video but.... I currently own a 2001 Honda Accord EX 3.0 V6 VTECH with 235,000 miles. I have owned it for 9 years, bought it with 109k miles. The engine runs great. Transmission is decent. Has a EVAP code P1457. But other than that, I can't complain Love it!!🎉🎉
I've owned about 5 Hondas that went over 300,000 miles with no mechanical failures. Even a Pilot I had went to 325. I bought a '22 Civic Sport new exactly 2 years ago. Over 60,000 miles now (in 24 months) no issues other than the camera became misaligned during a road trip to New Mexico from NY at 50,000 miles and it just shut all the assistive tech off. $300 to diagnose and fix. I change the transmission fluid at 25,000 miles, i think Honda wants it done at 40,000. I feel like there is too much going on in there for 40,000 miles. I plan to keep it forever.
I just took my 1996 Honda Accord 4 door to Arizona and back to Reno and I did 85 MPH most of the way on the Back roads all the way . I bought it for 1200 dollars and have put a 1300 dollar Stereo into it with Sirius radio for the deserts . NO PROBLEMS ... 31 Miles per gallon at 80 to 85 Miles per hour ... Zoom Zoom . Its paid for and comfortable 190 K miles on it . I will be using it for my daily driver ( even though I have a new 2023 Tacoma ) . Why put miles on my new Truck.
I have an 07 Civic, it's approaching 200k miles and I have never had any kind of major issue and really barely any minor issues with it. This was my first Honda I have owned and I will never own anything other than a Honda or Toyota ever again. I have owned American cars and you are lucky if they even reach 100k miles.
Agreed, had a Chevy and it had a gasket issue with light City driving (10miles round trip to work) right before the warranty went out. Traded that thing real quick. 5k oil changes and still happened.
My 2003 Accord bought it for $2000 ca cash 7 years ago only changed the oil and battery brake pad’s rotors and tires 😊 full leather dual climate control and l am happy always starts love the 5 speed manual ❤Scotty . Watch for entertainment and the 😂laughter
@@MattPSU02 someone changed the infotainment system before I got it luckily your transmission was probably an automatic they had problems in 2003 according to Scotty
@rebeltvr6046 in hindsight, I wish I got the 6 speed. They had larger brake rotors, and the transmission could last 200k+ miles. But Honda just struggled at making a decent automatic transmission.
A guy driving through parking spaces, rather than using the roadway, totaled my '06 Civic. One complaint: Most uncomfortable car to ride in. You feel EVERY bump. Stiffer struts/sus would probably fix that. ALSO be weary of the '06 year. They recalled THOUSANDS for casting the engines wrong. So if you buy one, find out if they put a new engine in there. I never knew or found out, I just got lucky.
@@NJLev A stock Chevy Cobalt, as dinky as that car is, is a way more comfortable ride. Again, we're arguing opinion here, so it's personal taste. 🤷🏼♂️
I have a 2000 Honda civic ex. I bought it brand new In 2000. Has a 189,000 miles and it still looks and runs great. I have taken care of it. Some people tell me why I don't you buy a new Honda civic. Because they don't make them like they use to
Most of the Honda Fit ,City ,Jazz and BRV with CVT transmission belt are breaking by 150 000km and they are from Thailand. This information is from the Caribbean Country where I live. Trinidad and Tobago
Currently drive a 2013 civic SI. Literally the best daily driver out there imo. It’s peppy, got a manual, reliable as heck, easy to work on, and just enough creature comforts without being overwhelming on the technology
I’ve only put 45,000 on my 2013 Civic since I got it in 2015. I try to do as many errands as I can on foot, as well as walking to work, so it’s kept the mileage down. Never getting rid of this thing.
Bought a 2019 Accord, of course it has a cvt, I’m not a fan of a transmission that doesn’t change gears however the accord isn’t loud, doesn’t rev up when acceleration and it MOVES! Didn’t know about all the problems with the 1.5 liter engines before I bought it but so far I’ve driven it 15k miles in 9 months and haven’t had the fuel smell inside the interior or had high levels when checking the oil stick, so I’m happy about that! Will continue to watch it and yes Honda did do the recall work shortly after I purchased it last summer. So far I’m very happy with my Honda Accord!
I just got rid of my 2008 Civic last August after 284K miles all on the original clutch. If I didn’t live in the northeast I would probably still have it. The engine was in great shape and I was still getting the same great mileage when I got rid of it as I did when I bought it new.
I currently drive an 06 civic hybrid with 321,000 miles. Runs perfect just needs a new 24v battery. 7% usability due to deterioration but still getting 30mpg around Clarksville. The reason i prefer Honda ima because the hybrid part is just a motor assist and can run without it.
@@rishabhsharma3917 I had an old 1986 Honda Civic CRX that got 880 kilometers to a full tank of gas. I had durable oil in the oil tank at the time. It always got well over 50 miles to the gallon on the highway.
My neighbor had a 2009 Civic. He said they had so many common problems with the engines back then that they replaced his for free. Even though the car was out of warranty.
@@dailydad6335 he doesn’t. That’s what the dealership told him. Why else would they replace it for free? I don’t know anything about cars but I can tell you Tacoma frames suck. They replaced mine 12 years out of warranty for free.
Isn't that terrbile? That was only the first few months of the 2009 production lines. The last 9 months they fixed everything so no engine mount problems.
2010 Honda Accord new, now got 110k miles and the mechanic offered to buy it from me cause it's rare to see an old Honda in decent condition. Told him I'm riding it till it dies, love this baby.
I was looking to replace my 2012 Honda Fit Sport with 117,000 miles, and looked at the HRV. When I saw it had a CVT, I looked at the Toyota RAV 4 LE. I liked it, but decided to keep my Fit, since it gets 38 mpg and has no issues.
Keep the fit....theyre exellent cars..my ex wife had an orange 09 fit 5 spd sport.. we loved it...she sold it when it had about 220k it still even had the original clutch, she only sold it because she wanted awd ..
Keep your fit you have least another 200k miles left in it I owned a 2013 fit traded for 08 Yaris sedan yea it’s better on gas but I should’ve kept my fit I had 126 k miles reg auto trans that only the second gen of fit got! The 1st and 3rd gen got the CVT in the Fits
@@jessewynne8193 I didn't know that. I'm in England and have a 2006 manual transmission with 116k miles. Only problem is water leaks I'm still trying to solve. It rains a lot here. Been very wet since October.
I had a 1975 civic loved that car. You can fit 4 adults with ease. My wife has a cvt tranny and I don't like it. My Yaris has a 4-speed automatic transmission, and I love the gears. I'm a gear person like Scotty.
235,000 miles on my 2000 Honda civic. I’ve had it for 14 years since I was like 16. I’m keeping it forever. I just changed many of the parts under the hood and got new tires and changed all the fluids thanks to my cheap mechanic 😊😌. Running like a champ
I pretty much only buy Honda/acura but older. I have an 06 tsx 6 speed that I love to death, owned 6 Integras from the 90s and a Crx Si, all manual. They have their “quirks”, but nothing catastrophic ever happens. That new connecting rod recall for spun bearings on the J series is terrifying and going to be hard for Honda to recover from. You expect that from Kia or Hyundai.
Yeah , Me too. Had a 95 Integra , 2003 S2000 , still have a 2008 Odyssey and my 2005 Acura Tl with the factory Brembo front brakes , Limited Slip and 6 speed manual .
As a Honda fan, I was quite disappointed in the company when my Acura RSX gave up on me at 265,000 due to oil dilution that occurs on Hondas after reaching a high mileage. the oil and fuel begin to mix in the combustion chamber creating a high consumption of both oil and fuel.
I glad for your opinion on CVT transmissions. I've written Scotty about my used '07 Honda Fit Sport which has one. I drive like a little old lady but paddle shift all the time. With 112K miles, the car still performs, burns no oil, A/C ain't bad for a 1.5 ltr. engine. Has disk brakes up front, gets me where I want to go but how I didn't know a thing about them when I bought. I wanted a manual but my wife was involved and she needs an auto. Then she got ill and hasn't driven in years. I can't afford to upgrade. My point? I suppose if one drives logically a car like mine could last for a long time. Thanks for your closing statements, Scotty. Makes complete sense.
@CaffeineKage i looked at the Hondas in 2019, the 1.5 turbos had problems with oil consumption and oil delusion, all the forums, even Scotty said to stay away from that engine, Honda probably fixed the problem by 2022
I've owned a 2009 Honda Civic Si for almost 11 years, it has been the most reliable vehicle. The only repaired was a serpentine belt then regular maintenance, Scotty is the best!
What brand car was your CVT transmission on, a Nissan? I'm just curious. I've heard Nissan is the brand that has given CVTs a black eye. So far Honda and Toyota has been reputable.
@@snowsolo . Do you know how a cvt transmission works? Its a metal belt that spins. Metal doesn't naturally bend so to make it work they put hundreds or more tiny links, sort of like a chain, that make up the belt. Once that belt breaks it literally explodes. There is no rebuilding that. 5 years from today will change nothing. The only improvement is getting away from that horrible design.
I bought an older Accord with 100,000 miles recently, thinking "it's a Honda, great!" and have already had to dump over $2000 into it between steering pump, starter, tie rod and tires. I've never been so disappointed in a car I had such high hopes for. My last car, a junker, cost me almost nothing compared to this, an old Chevy. Will never buy a Honda product again. The Accord even has an oil leak, I've come to hate the thing.
I have a 2015 Civic with 170,000 miles & have had ZERO problems. Oil changes every 5,000 miles, change CVT transmission fluid every 30,000 miles, spark plugs at 100,000 miles. Everything else is just tires,brakes & filters.
I have a 2015 too. I have 25,000 miles on it. The only problem I had is when the battery went dead. I couldn't use the remote to open the door because the battery was dead. The key didn't manually open the door. I had AAA open the door. I brought it to Honda and they had to realign the lock in the door. Also, I have trouble with the rear passenger rubber molding around the door. When I open the door, it falls off. I had the same problem with my 2009 Honda civic rubber molding around the door. The AC after 9 years needs to be recharged.
I have a 2023 Civic Sport hatchback and it has a manual transmission, which I am very happy with. The manual transmission is available in the Sport and Sport Touring hatchbacks.
Cars owned in our family have been '86 CRX, 94'Civic, '99 Accord, '99 Acura RL, '07 Civic, '08 Fit, and a current 2020 Insight - Hondas have ALL served our family well. Do your routine maintenance like clockwork, and theyll run as long as you want to own them.
2018 Honda Accord EX-L 1.5 73,300 miles. Just came back from the dealer. Started with christmas tree lights (every warning light) going off in the car. Thought it was a bad battery, bought a battery wasn't that. Misfire on cylinder 3. Blown head gasket with a possible leak or deformed engine. They recommend buying a new engine at a cost of around $10,000.00. Went down an internet rabbit hole and it seems that the problem is quite major with thousands of posts all over the internet. The problem is believed to be making the engine more emissions-friendly to deal with government ratings; what they didn't foresee was the gaskets couldn't take the pressure. I contacted Honda GoodWill and seeing what they say, I'm not holding my breath. I've owned 1998 Honda Civic, 2009 Honda Civic, 2013 Honda Accord, 2016 Honda Accord, and 2018 Honda Accord...it's looking like this will be my families FINAL Honda.
@@parkerbohnnI always did. Mobil One full synthetic high mileage oil with Fram brand oil filter. This wasn’t an issue with oil, it’s an issue with manufacture quality control.
We have a 2019 Honda civic manual. My dad taught three kids to drive on it and it has 150k miles. He took it in for maintenance a few weeks ago and there was literally nothing wrong with it. Even the clutch was in pristine condition.
Had a 2006 Civic as my first car bought at 240k and drove til 290K, as a first car I drove it like a racecar and man it took every beating I gave it, handled amazing and gave me 0 issues. Changed all fluids at 240k and then did oil changes every 5,000 kms. I just put gas and kept flooring it (because I was young and dumb);. Sold it 5 years later and I miss it to this day. Drove a new Civic and didn't have the same feeling and CVT transmission kills the whole feeling of being a real car.
Check all the car forums. 2018-2020 1.5 Honda Accords have huge issue with blowing head gasket. About a twenty minute internet search will show you that there are thousands of bad cars out there with blown gaskets starting around 70,000-100,000 miles. Engine becomes useless and car turns to paper weight. Obviously it’s not all of them, but I’d say it’s enough that I’d say a major recall is needed.
I had a 03 base model for years , sold it for 3500 cad with 350 k , shes still out there running , recently got myself a 2013 base pattern and shes a lil beauty! I love civics "I have a lil truck for the bush but for street driving a civic is great" I like the front end on the new civics but this cvt ...we will see how they hold up
Is it really good to change the transmission fluid? I know people with Toyotas that never had their transmission fluid changed and they have hundreds of thousands of miles with the original transmission
@luperamos7307 i see how your experiences could make you believe that but its kind of like saying "I know people who smoked cigarettes all their lives and lived to be old" im sure its happened but that still doesnt mean you should do it!
@@anthonymangual365 Bc you can also mess things up if you change the fluid. The reality is that most people never change it. Over time the fluid won't run as well, but you will also have wear of the transmission. So sometimes it evens outs. Kind of the same concept as people that start putting thicker oils in older engines. I also never knew if you should really do that or not.
@@luperamos7307 Changing transmission fluid helps extend the life of the transmission by removing contaminants. It's simple - dirty fluids have more friction. Friction will eventually destroy engines, power steering systems, and transmissions. You minimize the amount of friction that occurs from normal wear and tear by keeping the fluids clean. People often neglect changing these fluids and they can get away with it for a while, but I assure you that they are reducing the lifespan of the transmission by ignoring the maintenance. An automatic transmission that only made it to 200,000 miles without changing fluid could have easily made it to a million miles with clean fluid.
Because of Scotty I made the switch to Toyota. My first car was a bmw and I only put 20k miles on it before the engine blew up. And prior to that I was working on it almost every other day. I had a Tacoma after that but it recently got totaled by another driver. So I just bought a 2023 Camry SE nightshade with only 8k miles on it. Haven’t had a problem with either of those Toyotas. I plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off. I don’t want to spend money fixing a car. I already spend enough on payments, insurance, and gas. Thank you Scotty!
I had a 2004 Ford Taurus that I put 214000 miles on before the floor pans rusted out in2018. I replaced it with a Honda Civic hatch back that was built in England. That Honda was definitely the best car I ever owned.
I love the Civic G8. My dad had it and I was amazed at the dashboard and when I later got to drive it I was amazed at how well it performed. Unfortunately CVTs are taking over now and it seems cars are being made just like phones so as to have customers replace them sooner.
When my Explorer was in the shop, I rented a 2018 Nissan Versa with the CVT. It was OK, but a little wacky acting compared to an actual geared transmission. Not a fan. For smaller or "performance" cars, give me a good old-fashioned manual transmission.
had a 2005 Fit, was the most reliable car i've ever owned. i wanted a new one but the 4th-gen Fit isn't available in many markets so i opted for the City-Hatchback instead, it's like an improved Fit, more spacious engine bay and longer wheelbase, same magic seats
Recently bought an 06 Odyssey with 156k on it....first thing I did was the timing and water pump (and oil change) .....next I'll be getting the transmission fluid flushed .....this thing is so comfortable and spacious....love it
I would NOT flush any automatic trans . ( Scotty talks about this ) . Flushing can do more damage than good . Just Drain and refill it 3 times and it will replace most of the old Fluid and only use Honda Automatic Trans fluid .
My mom LOVED her Honda. She had a black ‘88 Accord. It was a stick. She loved that car and zipped around in it for 15 years until she bought herself a BMW 3 Series. Even then, she garaged the Honda. Couldn’t part with it. She eventually did, but I think it broke her heart to do it.
I owned a 2007 Accord VP stick from new. Drove it 135K and the only thing that failed beyond normal maintenance, was a $6 AC relay and the rear bumper reinforcement bar rotted off (Rhode Island road salt). Normal maintenance was a fan belt and tires. The front disc brake shoes I replaced at 130k, but they could have gone to 150k easily. The front rotors and rear drums were still like new. Paint was still excellent when I sold it.
I own a 2007 Civic that I bought for fairly cheap off of an auction. I've had it for 3 years and it's been fantastic, pretty much all it's needed is it's regular oil changes and gas.
That 14 year old civic right there is gold ..💪 had mine for almost 9 years and still runs liké a clock and it has a timing chain still getting 35mpg with 200k on the dash
I had an 1994 accord. Bought for $12k with 50k miles on it. Owned it for 25 years, and put 250k miles on top of. Nowadays turbo plus CVT sorry no not for me.
My first car was a 96 accord Ex and bought it from the original owner with 120,000km. I rode that until 250,000km before the transmission gave out. I got a used transmission and that lasted another 25,000 before also dying. I parted it out at that point. I really wish I did a manual transmission swap at that time because I knew that bad boy would last me years! I miss that car everyday.
I loved my 2010 Honda Civic with manual transmission, was really fun to drive, but sold it after 2 years because I was unemployed... I'm still Honda lover, but now I'm driving a 2011 Toyota Corolla, another reliable car... My goal is to reach 1 million mile with my Corolla LOL...
Completely agree here. I had a 2002 civic and my wife talked me into getting rid of because it needed struts and a little other work because it was old. I relented and got a new one and now I wish I still had my 02
So glad i picked up a 2013 2nd gen honda fit with a 5 speed manual. Its cheap to maintain, reliable, and so much fun to drive than some of the newer hondas imo
Augh. My son has my 93/94 Accord. It looks rough, and the right front wheel assbly has folded under the car TWICE! It runs good (200,000+), but has been expensive to keep on the road.
Thanks a lot, Scotty, you are so right My 2002 Honda Civic runs like a jewel and even ay 193k 569 miles. I gave it a lot of TLC and will continue to do so. I hope it'll go beyond 250k
Fantastic car Civics 2006-2011 are the biggest civics built they have a big windshield and 29 miles per gallon combined is pretty reliable and handles very good, I just purchased my 2nd one last year and man I love that car!!!
I had a 2003 honda civic put 210000 miles on it and still running perfect when sold, now have 2011 accord euro just getting close to 200000 miles love old hondas
Same with my 2012 9.0 RS Scion xB. 141k miles running good. Toyota are just as reliable. Older Toyotas. And no, i have no oil consumption issues on mine..
1999 with 323,127 here. Chassis, but replaced engine sometime ago. Had a head gasket leak. The replacement engine has new oil seals now. Cost me thousand dollars labor to fix a six dollar o ring in the oil pump.
Have a 1999 Honda Civic EX Coupe 172,000 miles runs absolutely perfect barely hear it and sometimes can't hear it run at red light timing belt broke at 50 MPH last month fortunately no bent valves just change the oil make sure the fluids are in decent shape and most importantly make sure the timing belt is in good shape if it's an older Civic that has a timing belt instead of a chain these cars will last over 250,000 miles if taken care of.

For 1 I see more and more toyotas in the tow lane. Honda has a partnership with GM to build hydrogen engines
Scotty I got a car with 350k miles. Can I pay you for maintainence
To keep her going
are 8-9th gen honda accords (european version, are they different than american LX or acura brand nam,e..) ?
are those worth buying, since tehy are used and old cars...
cant get hold of one.. they sell like warm bread on used car market here locally in e ast-europe.
not surprised for the price class.. they look "premium" and less "cheap" than other cars in the same bracket, also 8-9th gen honda prolly look the best as well...
What's the speed limit there
I needed this Scotty. What year is good? They just totaled my Corolla 2014 65k miles. Some dope blew a stop sign and I have no car! Looking at Honda civics for days.

Nice One👍 This guy is a real treasure.
He's definitely a treasure , imagine I'm in South Africa and I listen to his advices , he's my go to guy
@@mjngp 🙋🏻♂️Hi, best wishes from N.S.W Australia ❤️
I always watch his videos. I've learnt so much about my car, how parts work, what they do, why they're there and how to fix them 👍
You won't regret it
Haha that's awesome man! Hope he sees this!
I had a 1999 Honda civic. 345k miles. Still running strong. Take care of it, it'll take care of you
I think CVT's fall apart over 60,000 miles about when there out of warranty.
I actually still have a 1992 Civic with 320k miles which is my daily driver. The only reason I bought it many years ago is because of the mpg's.
Have a 2000 Honda Civic. Got it about three weeks ago (2024). Still runs like a champ, though the odometer does not work. Not sure what is wrong with it. Just saying. 🕷
@libertycoffeehouse3944 no they don't, you know nothing.
2014 Honda Accord 311K miles. CVT is just fine
My son has a 1994 Civic , that thing is still going strong. When he got it, it had had 105000 miles
How many miles now?? 😮
How long has he had it? How many miles now? Not so impressive without more info
Yeah dumb story
My wife bought a new Honda Civic 4dr, 5 speed manual transmission in 1988. That was a beautiful car, we kept that car 20 years, it had 240k miles on it and still ran great.
240k. It was barely driven
Inherited a 1988 Civic Sedan, 5 speed manual transmission. Now has 130K. 35 to 40 mpg in town, 40+ on hwy. No power steering, no air conditioning, crank windows. Still going strong.
My favorite car I've ever owned was my '88 Civic hatchback w 5 speed. LOVED the way it looked and handled. I miss it all the time!
@@tomtest891 I've often thought that the hatchback version would be ideal.
The GL version of the civic in 1988 was much better and still relatable to a modern car. Yes P/S, air and electric windows. Your grandparents were just povo lol
I love it when Scotty mentioned the older cars last so longer than recent ones. And reliable, too.
He didn't say that, and there is no evidence of it.
Thats called affirmation
The real metric is cost of ownership with all maintenance done on time. Hard to measure that on a newer car. The one benefit of older cars is the lack of touch screens and other unnecessary electronics.
They say that every decade
I actually think that rule applies to pretty much everything. I really do. Something died. Over the past 20 years? We lost something important, and I don’t think it’s retrievable. Convenience replaced necessity as the ‘mother of invention’ and people stopped taking pride in their work. Everything is held together with a stick pin and a wad of chewing gum. Made to last just long enough to pass the return date. It’s shameful.
Still driving my 1993 EXR Accord, 186,000, 30 years old! I looked after it VERY very well. I'll be selling it soon as I want 1 last car, SUV, so I sit up higher, and while I'm still working. I know I'll miss my car. I know they don't build cars like mine anymore 😢 I bought it brand new, lady driven. She has been a true gem 💎 the whole time I have owned it. ❤
Im interested in the accord when youre ready to sell
Hi what car is your choice sitting higher? I’m looking for the same thing? Ty
Toyota corolla cross or subaru crosstrek.
I'd also be interested in your car when you sell it!
CB7 family! I LOVE the 90-93 accord. I've owned 3. Looking for another for my adult life. 😆
Just picked up a ‘05 civic coupe with 60k original miles and a 5 speed manual transmission !
how much
Score!
How much did that set you back? 💴?
wonder why the car has only been driven about 3000miles a year
@Meeks1102 I live in Fargo ND - everything here is 20 minutes drive away. I barely put on 2500 a year.
09 Honda Accord 4 banger. 123k miles. Had it for 15 years and passed it down to my daughter. Hopefully it will last another 15 years so my son can drive it.
2008 Honda Odyssey here with 185k and going STRONG
Sold my 2008 Accord at 180k miles...lasted me 8 yrs
My wife has a 2013 Civic, 230,000 never been in the shop once for an issue. I just replaced the shocks and rotors and belt, and one wheel bearing. It’s been an awesome car we’re gonna see how far it can go. Next car will be a Subaru since Honda ruined theirs.
Still daily driving my 98 accord. almost 352k miles on the original powertrain, even though the automatic tranmissions are known to fail earlier. That car is the reason I got into DIY auto maintenance and how I found this channel!
You're lucky. My 99 Accord died last year with 230k miles. I was hoping for at least 300k like yours, but now I have a 2006 with 158k. I'll try again.
@@richbrake9910 That's a shame, always hurts my heart to see these old cars in the junkyard. How did it die?
We had a 2001 accord. I took care of that car like it was a baby... but someone with monster wheels pulled out of a parking lot and ran over then hood/front end. Insurance took it. It only has 126k miles. Someone bought it at auction and resold it for 3,600 on Facebook. Miss that car. Saved the sale posting for memories.
94 Civic needed bigger. 2004 Accord sold it and now back in 2022 Civic touring. So far so good. We can only take care of it and hope.
I have a 97 Honda Accord manual transmission still running strong with 380k miles! Love it!
I know this is a civic video but....
I currently own a 2001 Honda Accord EX 3.0 V6 VTECH with 235,000 miles. I have owned it for 9 years, bought it with 109k miles. The engine runs great. Transmission is decent. Has a EVAP code P1457. But other than that, I can't complain
Love it!!🎉🎉
I've owned about 5 Hondas that went over 300,000 miles with no mechanical failures. Even a Pilot I had went to 325. I bought a '22 Civic Sport new exactly 2 years ago. Over 60,000 miles now (in 24 months) no issues other than the camera became misaligned during a road trip to New Mexico from NY at 50,000 miles and it just shut all the assistive tech off. $300 to diagnose and fix. I change the transmission fluid at 25,000 miles, i think Honda wants it done at 40,000. I feel like there is too much going on in there for 40,000 miles. I plan to keep it forever.
I just took my 1996 Honda Accord 4 door to Arizona and back to Reno and I did 85 MPH most of the way on the Back roads all the way . I bought it for 1200 dollars and have put a 1300 dollar Stereo into it with Sirius radio for the deserts . NO PROBLEMS ... 31 Miles per gallon at 80 to 85 Miles per hour ... Zoom Zoom . Its paid for and comfortable 190 K miles on it . I will be using it for my daily driver ( even though I have a new 2023 Tacoma ) . Why put miles on my new Truck.
What did you do for the sound?
I have an 07 Civic, it's approaching 200k miles and I have never had any kind of major issue and really barely any minor issues with it. This was my first Honda I have owned and I will never own anything other than a Honda or Toyota ever again. I have owned American cars and you are lucky if they even reach 100k miles.
That's awesome!
I currently have a 07 civic with 140K miles, never had any major issues, I really take care of it
@@m_recon5092 The steering lines rot out on the entire 8th generation Civics where the power steering lines meet the rack.
Agreed, had a Chevy and it had a gasket issue with light City driving (10miles round trip to work) right before the warranty went out. Traded that thing real quick. 5k oil changes and still happened.
Good to see the Houston greenery again; it brought back pleasant memories. Hope you and the Mrs are enjoying your vacation.
My 2003 Accord bought it for $2000 ca cash 7 years ago only changed the oil and battery brake pad’s rotors and tires 😊 full leather dual climate control and l am happy always starts love the 5 speed manual ❤Scotty . Watch for entertainment and the 😂laughter
Mine had a bad transmission, bad infotainment, etc.
@@MattPSU02 someone changed the infotainment system before I got it luckily your transmission was probably an automatic they had problems in 2003 according to Scotty
'12 Accord coupe manual here, bought new. Zero problems.
@rebeltvr6046 in hindsight, I wish I got the 6 speed. They had larger brake rotors, and the transmission could last 200k+ miles. But Honda just struggled at making a decent automatic transmission.
@tishasolomon6173 yeah the V6s in the Accords and Pilots and Oddys were poorly designed. 2nd gear ran too hot and would fail prematurely.
A guy driving through parking spaces, rather than using the roadway, totaled my '06 Civic. One complaint: Most uncomfortable car to ride in. You feel EVERY bump. Stiffer struts/sus would probably fix that.
ALSO be weary of the '06 year.
They recalled THOUSANDS for casting the engines wrong. So if you buy one, find out if they put a new engine in there. I never knew or found out, I just got lucky.
Was yours dropped? I don’t think they’re any more uncomfortable than any other car in it’s size/weight class.
@@NJLev It was all stock.
@@NJLev A stock Chevy Cobalt, as dinky as that car is, is a way more comfortable ride. Again, we're arguing opinion here, so it's personal taste. 🤷🏼♂️
I have a 2000 Honda civic ex. I bought it brand new In 2000. Has a 189,000 miles and it still looks and runs great. I have taken care of it. Some people tell me why I don't you buy a new Honda civic. Because they don't make them like they use to
Most of the Honda Fit ,City ,Jazz and BRV with CVT transmission belt are breaking by 150 000km and they are from Thailand. This information is from the Caribbean Country where I live. Trinidad and Tobago
This doesn't agree with what Scotty says about the Fit. He calls it the best compact car -- although no longer sold in US
Currently drive a 2013 civic SI. Literally the best daily driver out there imo. It’s peppy, got a manual, reliable as heck, easy to work on, and just enough creature comforts without being overwhelming on the technology
yeah, that was before the stupid CVT and turbo adoption that introduced lot of reliability issues you wouldnt expect from honda.
I’ve only put 45,000 on my 2013 Civic since I got it in 2015. I try to do as many errands as I can on foot, as well as walking to work, so it’s kept the mileage down. Never getting rid of this thing.
My brother gifted me his 2013 Honda Civic in Canada. The seats are horrible no lumbar support whatsoever.
@@parkerbohnn You’re not wrong!
Bought a 2019 Accord, of course it has a cvt, I’m not a fan of a transmission that doesn’t change gears however the accord isn’t loud, doesn’t rev up when acceleration and it MOVES! Didn’t know about all the problems with the 1.5 liter engines before I bought it but so far I’ve driven it 15k miles in 9 months and haven’t had the fuel smell inside the interior or had high levels when checking the oil stick, so I’m happy about that! Will continue to watch it and yes Honda did do the recall work shortly after I purchased it last summer. So far I’m very happy with my Honda Accord!
I just got rid of my 2008 Civic last August after 284K miles all on the original clutch. If I didn’t live in the northeast I would probably still have it. The engine was in great shape and I was still getting the same great mileage when I got rid of it as I did when I bought it new.
My brother had an '08 Civic, junked it at 330k, second clutch- junked it because of Notheast rust
My 1st honda came from down South...its was crispy, no salt
I currently drive an 06 civic hybrid with 321,000 miles. Runs perfect just needs a new 24v battery. 7% usability due to deterioration but still getting 30mpg around Clarksville. The reason i prefer Honda ima because the hybrid part is just a motor assist and can run without it.
I agree with your analysis about the assist behind the engine ... the engine and trans works FINE w/o it.
I personally ran two 1.3liter 5 speed manual 2003 Civic hybrids past 300.000 miles almost trouble free 👍🇺🇸

Just picked up a 2010 civic LX automatic transmission R18 (1.8L) 113k original engine and trans and so far it runs like a dream.
My neighbor had a 2009 Civic. He said they had so many common problems with the engines back then that they replaced his for free. Even though the car was out of warranty.
😂 highly doubt that, he knows nothing about cars
@@dailydad6335 he doesn’t. That’s what the dealership told him. Why else would they replace it for free? I don’t know anything about cars but I can tell you Tacoma frames suck. They replaced mine 12 years out of warranty for free.
Isn't that terrbile? That was only the first few months of the 2009 production lines. The last 9 months they fixed everything so no engine mount problems.
My 03 V6 Accord went through 3 transmissions; however their flagship drivetrain options, do tend to be the 4 cylinder models.
2010 Honda Accord new, now got 110k miles and the mechanic offered to buy it from me cause it's rare to see an old Honda in decent condition. Told him I'm riding it till it dies, love this baby.
I was looking to replace my 2012 Honda Fit Sport with 117,000 miles, and looked at the HRV. When I saw it had a CVT, I looked at the Toyota RAV 4 LE. I liked it, but decided to keep my Fit, since it gets 38 mpg and has no issues.
Even Honda and Toyota's quality is going down. Keep your older Hondas and Toyotas, they are not as reliable today as they were before.
Keep the fit....theyre exellent cars..my ex wife had an orange 09 fit 5 spd sport.. we loved it...she sold it when it had about 220k it still even had the original clutch, she only sold it because she wanted awd ..
Keep your fit you have least another 200k miles left in it I owned a 2013 fit traded for 08 Yaris sedan yea it’s better on gas but I should’ve kept my fit I had 126 k miles reg auto trans that only the second gen of fit got! The 1st and 3rd gen got the CVT in the Fits
@@jessewynne8193 I didn't know that. I'm in England and have a 2006 manual transmission with 116k miles. Only problem is water leaks I'm still trying to solve. It rains a lot here. Been very wet since October.
I had a 1975 civic loved that car. You can fit 4 adults with ease.

235,000 miles on my 2000 Honda civic. I’ve had it for 14 years since I was like 16. I’m keeping it forever. I just changed many of the parts under the hood and got new tires and changed all the fluids thanks to my cheap mechanic 😊😌. Running like a champ
I pretty much only buy Honda/acura but older. I have an 06 tsx 6 speed that I love to death, owned 6 Integras from the 90s and a Crx Si, all manual. They have their “quirks”, but nothing catastrophic ever happens.
That new connecting rod recall for spun bearings on the J series is terrifying and going to be hard for Honda to recover from. You expect that from Kia or Hyundai.
Yeah , Me too. Had a 95 Integra , 2003 S2000 , still have a 2008 Odyssey and my 2005 Acura Tl with the factory Brembo front brakes , Limited Slip and 6 speed manual .
2020 Honda Civic Sport here!Runs and drives Great!!!'Lovin it....
As a Honda fan, I was quite disappointed in the company when my Acura RSX gave up on me at 265,000 due to oil dilution that occurs on Hondas after reaching a high mileage. the oil and fuel begin to mix in the combustion chamber creating a high consumption of both oil and fuel.
Welp time to become a Lexus fan
Luckily I never experienced that on my 2017 CRV, but it was a common problem
Change the fluid on my CVT 2021 Civic. Transfluid was a little dirtier than you want to see, but it's a CVT. All is well so far. Made in Mexico too
Love my '05 Accord. 2.4, 5sp auto. 275k miles. In the process of freshening up the front suspension.
2009 accord....bought at 98k...now have 196k miles...2nd owner....no major issues
I glad for your opinion on CVT transmissions. I've written Scotty about my used '07 Honda Fit Sport which has one. I drive like a little old lady but paddle shift all the time. With 112K miles, the car still performs, burns no oil, A/C ain't bad for a 1.5 ltr. engine. Has disk brakes up front, gets me where I want to go but how I didn't know a thing about them when I bought. I wanted a manual but my wife was involved and she needs an auto. Then she got ill and hasn't driven in years. I can't afford to upgrade. My point? I suppose if one drives logically a car like mine could last for a long time. Thanks for your closing statements, Scotty. Makes complete sense.
I’m Salvadorian also my friend and learning from Scotty as well,….Scotty the whole world is watching you !! Mr. Goat…
I have a 2022 I bought last year.
I made darn sure it came with the 2.0 non-turbo engine instead of the troublesome 1.5 turbo.
I love it
what do you mean by troublesome?
I got 2024 civic hatchback. Major rattles in dash behind infotainment system. I get a turbine boost whistle noise when rolling creep. I’m scared
@CaffeineKage
i looked at the Hondas in 2019, the 1.5 turbos had problems with oil consumption and oil delusion, all the forums, even Scotty said to stay away from that engine, Honda probably fixed the problem by 2022

My experience with CVT never again. The transmission shop told me that CVTs can’t be rebuilt.
I asked a mechanic why can't the CVTs be rebuilt & he said cause no-one knows how to.... wait 5 more yrs 🤦
@@mrgarrison3516don't you mean no one knows how?. Junk
What brand car was your CVT transmission on, a Nissan? I'm just curious. I've heard Nissan is the brand that has given CVTs a black eye. So far Honda and Toyota has been reputable.
@@snowsolo Honda
@@snowsolo . Do you know how a cvt transmission works? Its a metal belt that spins. Metal doesn't naturally bend so to make it work they put hundreds or more tiny links, sort of like a chain, that make up the belt. Once that belt breaks it literally explodes. There is no rebuilding that. 5 years from today will change nothing. The only improvement is getting away from that horrible design.
I bought an older Accord with 100,000 miles recently, thinking "it's a Honda, great!" and have already had to dump over $2000 into it between steering pump, starter, tie rod and tires. I've never been so disappointed in a car I had such high hopes for. My last car, a junker, cost me almost nothing compared to this, an old Chevy. Will never buy a Honda product again. The Accord even has an oil leak, I've come to hate the thing.
You Didn't Do Any Due Diligence
Did You Have Any Maintenance Records?
should have bought a civic
Those are fairly minor wear items on a 100,000 mile car. What year was the Chevy and what went wrong with it?
Sounds like you need to watch some more Scotty videos, learn how to turn a wrench, or look over a vehicle before purchasing.
Yes, tires. Totally Honda's fault.
I have 2008 civic with 415k km on it. No major problem , just the ac doesnt work and windshield fluid sensor is on despite having fluid.
I have a 2015 Civic with 170,000 miles & have had ZERO problems. Oil changes every 5,000 miles, change CVT transmission fluid every 30,000 miles, spark plugs at 100,000 miles. Everything else is just tires,brakes & filters.
I have a 2015 too. I have 25,000 miles on it. The only problem I had is when the battery went dead. I couldn't use the remote to open the door because the battery was dead. The key didn't manually open the door. I had AAA open the door. I brought it to Honda and they had to realign the lock in the door. Also, I have trouble with the rear passenger rubber molding around the door. When I open the door, it falls off. I had the same problem with my 2009 Honda civic rubber molding around the door. The AC after 9 years needs to be recharged.
Glad to hear as I just purchased 2015 civic and 100% pleased..
I have a 2023 Civic Sport hatchback and it has a manual transmission, which I am very happy with. The manual transmission is available in the Sport and Sport Touring hatchbacks.

2018 Honda Accord EX-L 1.5 73,300 miles. Just came back from the dealer. Started with christmas tree lights (every warning light) going off in the car. Thought it was a bad battery, bought a battery wasn't that. Misfire on cylinder 3. Blown head gasket with a possible leak or deformed engine. They recommend buying a new engine at a cost of around $10,000.00. Went down an internet rabbit hole and it seems that the problem is quite major with thousands of posts all over the internet. The problem is believed to be making the engine more emissions-friendly to deal with government ratings; what they didn't foresee was the gaskets couldn't take the pressure. I contacted Honda GoodWill and seeing what they say, I'm not holding my breath. I've owned 1998 Honda Civic, 2009 Honda Civic, 2013 Honda Accord, 2016 Honda Accord, and 2018 Honda Accord...it's looking like this will be my families FINAL Honda.

We have a 2019 Honda civic manual. My dad taught three kids to drive on it and it has 150k miles. He took it in for maintenance a few weeks ago and there was literally nothing wrong with it. Even the clutch was in pristine condition.
Had a 2006 Civic as my first car bought at 240k and drove til 290K, as a first car I drove it like a racecar and man it took every beating I gave it, handled amazing and gave me 0 issues. Changed all fluids at 240k and then did oil changes every 5,000 kms. I just put gas and kept flooring it (because I was young and dumb);. Sold it 5 years later and I miss it to this day. Drove a new Civic and didn't have the same feeling and CVT transmission kills the whole feeling of being a real car.
Honda has a recall on there cvts for the belts coming apart, I've personally replaced about 30 of them in the past 4 years
2019 Honda Accord 129K Miles. Still going as good as day 1. Zero issues. Check your theory bro.
Check all the car forums. 2018-2020 1.5 Honda Accords have huge issue with blowing head gasket. About a twenty minute internet search will show you that there are thousands of bad cars out there with blown gaskets starting around 70,000-100,000 miles. Engine becomes useless and car turns to paper weight. Obviously it’s not all of them, but I’d say it’s enough that I’d say a major recall is needed.

I love civics "I have a lil truck for the bush but for street driving a civic is great" I like the front end on the new civics but this cvt ...we will see how they hold up
Got a 97 civic from my grandfather. Still runs great. Would never even tell it has 198,000 miles!
Other than changing CVT fluid every 30k, you'll hardly take notice of the transmission unless you're a speed demon.
I would agree, and id also say i should be able to enjoy my car like a speed demon without the tranny dying!
Is it really good to change the transmission fluid? I know people with Toyotas that never had their transmission fluid changed and they have hundreds of thousands of miles with the original transmission
@luperamos7307 i see how your experiences could make you believe that but its kind of like saying "I know people who smoked cigarettes all their lives and lived to be old" im sure its happened but that still doesnt mean you should do it!
@@anthonymangual365 Bc you can also mess things up if you change the fluid. The reality is that most people never change it. Over time the fluid won't run as well, but you will also have wear of the transmission. So sometimes it evens outs. Kind of the same concept as people that start putting thicker oils in older engines. I also never knew if you should really do that or not.
@@luperamos7307 Changing transmission fluid helps extend the life of the transmission by removing contaminants.
It's simple - dirty fluids have more friction. Friction will eventually destroy engines, power steering systems, and transmissions.
You minimize the amount of friction that occurs from normal wear and tear by keeping the fluids clean.
People often neglect changing these fluids and they can get away with it for a while, but I assure you that they are reducing the lifespan of the transmission by ignoring the maintenance.
An automatic transmission that only made it to 200,000 miles without changing fluid could have easily made it to a million miles with clean fluid.
I own a 2006 Acura Tsx with 213,000 miles and its still running with no problems its definitely a reliable Car i recommend it 100% hondas are the best
Because of Scotty I made the switch to Toyota. My first car was a bmw and I only put 20k miles on it before the engine blew up. And prior to that I was working on it almost every other day. I had a Tacoma after that but it recently got totaled by another driver. So I just bought a 2023 Camry SE nightshade with only 8k miles on it. Haven’t had a problem with either of those Toyotas. I plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off. I don’t want to spend money fixing a car. I already spend enough on payments, insurance, and gas. Thank you Scotty!
I had a 2004 Ford Taurus that I put 214000 miles on before the floor pans rusted out in2018. I replaced it with a Honda Civic hatch back that was built in England. That Honda was definitely the best car I ever owned.
I love the Civic G8. My dad had it and I was amazed at the dashboard and when I later got to drive it I was amazed at how well it performed. Unfortunately CVTs are taking over now and it seems cars are being made just like phones so as to have customers replace them sooner.
When my Explorer was in the shop, I rented a 2018 Nissan Versa with the CVT. It was OK, but a little wacky acting compared to an actual geared transmission. Not a fan. For smaller or "performance" cars, give me a good old-fashioned manual transmission.
I hate cvt transmission they try to imitate a regular trans with the computer but it feels like I’m driving a boat
had a 2005 Fit, was the most reliable car i've ever owned. i wanted a new one but the 4th-gen Fit isn't available in many markets so i opted for the City-Hatchback instead, it's like an improved Fit, more spacious engine bay and longer wheelbase, same magic seats
Recently bought an 06 Odyssey with 156k on it....first thing I did was the timing and water pump (and oil change) .....next I'll be getting the transmission fluid flushed .....this thing is so comfortable and spacious....love it
I would NOT flush any automatic trans . ( Scotty talks about this ) . Flushing can do more damage than good .
Just Drain and refill it 3 times and it will replace most of the old Fluid and only use Honda Automatic Trans fluid .

My mom LOVED her Honda. She had a black ‘88 Accord. It was a stick. She loved that car and zipped around in it for 15 years until she bought herself a BMW 3 Series. Even then, she garaged the Honda. Couldn’t part with it. She eventually did, but I think it broke her heart to do it.
I owned a 2007 Accord VP stick from new. Drove it 135K and the only thing that failed beyond normal maintenance, was a $6 AC relay and the rear bumper reinforcement bar rotted off (Rhode Island road salt). Normal maintenance was a fan belt and tires. The front disc brake shoes I replaced at 130k, but they could have gone to 150k easily. The front rotors and rear drums were still like new. Paint was still excellent when I sold it.
I love the old hondas, most people make fun of them, but when it comes to reliability, nothing comes close except toyota of course
I own a 2007 Civic that I bought for fairly cheap off of an auction. I've had it for 3 years and it's been fantastic, pretty much all it's needed is it's regular oil changes and gas.
That 14 year old civic right there is gold ..💪 had mine for almost 9 years and still runs liké a clock and it has a timing chain still getting 35mpg with 200k on the dash
I had an 1994 accord. Bought for $12k with 50k miles on it. Owned it for 25 years, and put 250k miles on top of. Nowadays turbo plus CVT sorry no not for me.
My first car was a 96 accord Ex and bought it from the original owner with 120,000km. I rode that until 250,000km before the transmission gave out. I got a used transmission and that lasted another 25,000 before also dying. I parted it out at that point. I really wish I did a manual transmission swap at that time because I knew that bad boy would last me years! I miss that car everyday.
I loved my 2010 Honda Civic with manual transmission, was really fun to drive, but sold it after 2 years because I was unemployed... I'm still Honda lover, but now I'm driving a 2011 Toyota Corolla, another reliable car... My goal is to reach 1 million mile with my Corolla LOL...
Wish he went over pilots. My growing family needs an SUV and I have my eyes on the pilot black edition.
Mine is the same 8thGen Automatic Coupe but 06 i can say really good economy on gas, reliable and still over with 200k Miles drives like a champ 💪🚘🚗
Completely agree here. I had a 2002 civic and my wife talked me into getting rid of because it needed struts and a little other work because it was old. I relented and got a new one and now I wish I still had my 02
So glad i picked up a 2013 2nd gen honda fit with a 5 speed manual. Its cheap to maintain, reliable, and so much fun to drive than some of the newer hondas imo
Augh. My son has my 93/94 Accord. It looks rough, and the right front wheel assbly has folded under the car TWICE! It runs good (200,000+), but has been expensive to keep on the road.
Thanks a lot, Scotty, you are so right
My 2002 Honda Civic runs like a jewel and even ay 193k 569 miles. I gave it a lot of TLC and will continue to do so. I hope it'll go beyond 250k
Fantastic car Civics 2006-2011 are the biggest civics built they have a big windshield and 29 miles per gallon combined is pretty reliable and handles very good, I just purchased my 2nd one last year and man I love that car!!!
It's real simple: Accountants started running the company. Low cost bidders came in. Quality went out. Keizen left the building.
That was back then. Now a days, environment activists run the company!!!
2006 Honda Accord 245,800. Had a 2000 Civic EX Coupe that got totaled with 222,000 miles. 😔
I had a 2003 honda civic put 210000 miles on it and still running perfect when sold, now have 2011 accord euro just getting close to 200000 miles love old hondas
Same with my 2012 9.0 RS Scion xB. 141k miles running good. Toyota are just as reliable. Older Toyotas. And no, i have no oil consumption issues on mine..
In my opinion the 8th Gen Honda Civic is the best one. I remember how shocking was when they launched it. I had a 2010 MT. I loved it.
2000 Accord with 250k miles. Still my daily. No plans to get rid of it.
1999 with 323,127 here. Chassis, but replaced engine sometime ago. Had a head gasket leak. The replacement engine has new oil seals now. Cost me thousand dollars labor to fix a six dollar o ring in the oil pump.
Have a 1999 Honda Civic EX Coupe 172,000 miles runs absolutely perfect barely hear it and sometimes can't hear it run at red light timing belt broke at 50 MPH last month fortunately no bent valves just change the oil make sure the fluids are in decent shape and most importantly make sure the timing belt is in good shape if it's an older Civic that has a timing belt instead of a chain these cars will last over 250,000 miles if taken care of.
