Please don’t leave your channel you are so informative.God bless
only toyota celica i would buy
Scotty won't tell you that the newer Toyota 8 spd's are junk. Thats of coarse unless you like a trans that hunts around for gears. Rav 4 owners are starting a class action.
Scotty, a while back you mentioned a treatment you put on all your plastic to keep it like new. I can’t find that video. Could you do a recap video of maintenance products you swear by?
Thanks!
One of your better videos in a while, Scotty.
the only Honda that Scotty recommends is the Honda Civic that I own. Life is complete.
Same
That's how I felt about my 95 Celica gt.
Me too fam
same here. proud about it
I just bought one so I’m happy with it
You know when someone comments, “Hey, Scotty. I’m thinking about getting this Chrysler”, they’re new to this channel.
Lol SO true 🤣
Good thing I got the 2.0 Civic base model. I’ve had it for 2 years already and it’s a great little car. No problems with it and I’ve done maintenance regularly. You are absolutely right Scotty, you should do your research before buying a car.
Scotty: I’m about to talk about the 2016 Honda Civic
My 2016 Honda Civic: 👀
Honda is caca too weak too sissy.
Lol me too.
Jesus Anaya i got the LX base model (Same as vid) with 54K miles. No major issues at all but the brake hold button doesnt work
Juan Cardona what you got?
@@MrPranker247 That is the only reason I want one. That brake hold can come in handy.
Scotty : “The Only New Honda I’d buy”
Me : “what is it? Civic or nsx?”
Scotty : “Toyota Celica 1994”
Too old content =\
Me: An EV. At least the gasoline engine is no longer suffering.
I thought the NSX was discontinued. I could be wrong.
First Last just saw a brand new one today man😳
IVE GOT THE EXACT SAME MODEL, SAME YEAR, SAME TRIM . feels good to have the Scotty Kilmer Stamp of Approval
me too! I actually had a 2015 which i read later on was one of the worst honda made in its generation and i got into a car accident and got totaled so I then went with a 2016 and seeing that Scotty approves makes me happy!
2016 Honda Civic owner here! I saved this video 😂
X2
Same! I have 2 2013 Accords, both purchased as used vehicles. Love to hear that these were on his list of 5 used vehicles to buy! 😁
Nobody ever mentions the fact that this 2.0L engine is Port Injection, so no worrying about that GDI carbon build up.
Scotty is the world’s only orchestra conductor without an orchestra.
I took your advice 2 weeks ago and picked up a 2018 Honda Civic (base model) with 36,000 miles for 17k and I absolutely love it. It corners really well for a non sports car and it can get up and go when you want it to and it can fit my 1 year old's car seat and my wife and I comfortably. Also I was driving a 2004 chevy impala ls before this car and I tell you what I was super happy to get out of that money pit and upgrade to this!
Hey Scotty! I actually bought this exact same model, year, and color used last August based on your recomendation of Honda. It's a great daily driver even if the cold air on the conditioner went warm around 40,000 miles. Glad l bought the LX model since l was almost tempted by the bells and whistles of the Ex-t which has the oil dissolution problems. Thank you for all your knowledgeable car wisdom!
My daughter just bought a 2016 base Civic last fall, and is absolutely in love with it. Thanks to your videos, we did know about this oil dilution deal going into dealing on her Civic. Thanks.
For Scotty, 2016 is new
To me, 2016 is too new :/
Well, it's not old.
Me 3
To me, 2013-2016 = fairly new. 2017-2018 = almost brand news 2018-now = brand new
Its new for me too
We Love You Scotty, Never Stop!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I was thinking this while watching. Glad to see ya say it in the comments. He's a living legend!!!
on crip
Always good advice, delivered with cheerful enthusiasm and a great sense of humor. Scotty is truly a pro that paid his dues many times over,I feel lucky to be able to learn from him!
I have a '16 Civic touring coupe with the 1.5 litre turbo you're talking about....I'm not having the oil dilution problem you're talking about...I know of the problem, just haven't experienced any of the issues....Love the car...
Lower price with better engine. That's a win-win situation!
So you pay more money to get a more unreliable car? 🧐 seems about right these days
moins cher ne signifie pas toujours fiable. Le Dodge Journey est un horrible véhicule.
That's always been the case. Fast reliable or cheap pick two.
more complex = more stuff that can break
I used 1.5tcp.. from 2017, going on good.. 70000km mileage now
Dumb logic. Do you pay for a sports car or supercar for reliability?
Scotty likes his cars how he likes his women: with a decent trunk.
😳
Ha, ha, ha..with lots of space.
And low maintenance
And a racy seat!
Waves both hands in excitement* 😂
Another good review Scotty! I have owned a few civics and I also recommend the 2.0 over the 1.5 turbo for reliability
This channel is literally an auto Bible ! Thank you Scotty 💯
I own a 2018 2.0L with a 6 speed stick.
I feel so validated.
I have the 2017 version it’s fun to drive and it hasn’t broken down yet
@@davidkevin03how about now
@@christopherdominguez845 I’m full bolt-on e85 tune. and race occasionally. 68k miles and still my daily driver
You’re literally the first person I come to watch about cars. I’m into the Hondas especially the new civic and with your information, I’m glad to now know about the issues it has. I respect your work, keep it up, don’t retire just yet, still need your valuable information.
We bought this exact model last year. Thanks for making me feel better about our purchase.
My Dad used to have a 2002 Civic. He honestly loved it and drove it for years. He eventually upgraded to a '14 Sienna because we got a big family lol.
My first new car 2004 civic! Still have it! 302,000. I couldn’t sell the civic love that car still! And now a 2019 accord touring 2.0.
Got an 01 myself. Which trim do or did you guys have
Your dad was lucky! 2001-2005 civics had transmission problems.
That generation of civic is plagued with blown head gaskets. Been there done that.
@@BubbaGumpShrimpss My 2003 is still going strong 18 years after manufacture. 157,000 miles.
Hey Scotty
Nice review been waiting to see you review the civic LX with the CVT
I just bought a 2017 civic lx 2.0l recently with the 6speed Manual it has 55k on it and I love it it’s fast and never lets me down
Now base models are coming out with kseries engines
I have a 2016 civic manual, its a fun and great commute car, love your videos scotty
For that reason I bought 2019 Honda civic with 2.0 liter engine and 6 speed manual transmission.
You bought the automatic.
@@eternallogic6394 no, manual.
I bought one with a 2 liter and 6 speed manual too
@@eternallogic6394 The Civic Sport has the option for a Manual or CVT and comes with the 2.0L.
@@themadmachinist8637 that car will never stop
I got a Honda Civic 2016 just like that one I had my doubts on the Honda but now I feel so relieved
I've just got the 2017 civic 5 speed transmission, a little worry about the "earthdream" engine. Scotty videos have helped me and son to make better choice when looking for cars. Thanks for your videos they are great.
Love the vids Scotty we look forward to all furture endeavors
thank you!
@@scottykilmer When you answer someone's question, do you notify them? So we can look out for an answer. I don't watch all your videos... sorry, don't hurt me.
Leaving a like even before watching the vídeo. Keep rocking Scotty!
Bought a 2018 LX this weekend....All the right boxes were checked. Jackpot !
I got a 2016 Civic LX. Really nice car. I love to see Scotty's comments on this exact model!
Just bought this car this week. It's nice to know scotty approves of it. Also here in Canada, I have the Lx and it's comes with a touch screen radio, while the LX in USA has the basic push button radio
Bought a 2017 civic 2.0 a year ago and so far its been awesome. Glad I followed my gut and chose the 2.0 over the turbo version. I was nervous about the CVT as well but heard good things about Hondas CVT and decided to go with it. Over all it exceeded my expectations, has had no problems big or small, and absolutely glad i chose it despite being still unsure of the CVT over the long term.
Honda and Toyota CVT'S are the only ones that use a real launch gear.
Mazda stopped using CVT'S and went with their own gear type automatic.
Avoid Nissans, Mitsubishi's, GM, Ford, Chrysler, etc
Ty Ty, keep up in the transmission fluid changes every 30K - 40K miles. My Honda Civic CVT runs smooth!
I bought a 2016 Civic LX recently and I'm glad it has scotty's approval :)
Your a life saver Scotty, was about to buy the Rs model. Thanks, been watching for 2 years. So Have learnt a lot.
You're my lockdown staying home instructor! Much more interesting than decorating cakes.
I’d say the opposite. But that’s cause I’m sick of cars.
Scotty is low calorie too.
I plan on buying another car in a couple of months and definitely considering a Civic with the 2.0L motor. I hope to get one in the Sport trim since it has more features than the base LX. Aside from the fact it has no turbo, you don't have to worry about problems the befall Direct Injection engines. Thank goodness for port fuel injection!
Loved the question and answers
I've just bought an 2015 Civic 2.0L with automatic transmission. Loving it!
Kinda want to know Scotty's opinion on the Fit with the 6-speed. Seems like the kind of old-school kind of drivetrain he'd like.
I work for Honda, that is a great car that is bullet proof if you havent already go for it!
@@mahdman7130 Yup, I bought it. Next time you go in, tell them that I'm upset that NA doesn't get the next fit, lol.
He has said in other videos that the fit is a great car, very reliable, bullet proof.
@@mahdman7130 hows the cvt auto on that
@@ibeatmycatandmydog9322 theyre just fine the cvt in Hondas arent crappy like Nissan
I bought this car for my brother last year. It is a used 2016 model. I didn’t research about CVT or turbocharged engine but I think we got a gem. It’s a very low maintenance car. It just need a oil change every once in a while that’s pretty much it. Thanks Scotty I will show this video to my brother
Just picked up a 2024 Civic Sport with the 2.0 n/a with 6mt for my wife. We plan on keeping this car in our family for a long time.
You Sir are a blessing. Thank you for sharing all of this knowledge with the public.
scotty stay safe we need you, and love you.
That is the engine i got on my 2019 civic ✌
Me too!
Thank you Scotty for approving Honda civic! I Have 2018 1.8L sedan Honda Civic and I have started loving it more!!!
Thanks Scotty you are making me a better car shopper one video at a time 👍🏾
YES! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO REVIEW A CIVIC LX!!!
Damnit, Bobby.
Base trim level its better cause no turbo engine,life advise: just go simple

I have a 2019 civic si. I just change oil twice a year or every 6000km.
Thanks for sharing this video with us .
I'm buying a 2017 lx tmw. I was on the fence of going to get it tmw. But after this video I can't wait. Thx Scotty
I’ve got a 2016 Civic EX, my friend has a 2017 EX. Both have the same engine, the 2.0 L K20C2, quite fun cars to daily drive and zoom around when you need/want to.
Xaver1107 I got the 17 2.0l 6speed perfect car for when I work
My mom also has a 17 EX. Very good gas mileage. I am able to get 40 mpg city easily in chicago suburbs
how do you feel about the emergency passing power? my only concern with the 2.0L.

Very useful. I liked the 2016 version of honda civic and I've been trying to figure out which one is reliable. Thanks, Scotty!
Hey Scotty! Thank for this video, I have a question about newer (2016 and newer) Toyota-Lexus Body on frame SUVs. Do they still have the frame rust problem?
Just service the car more frequently and you wont have issues with oil dilution
Thank you Scotty for doing a video on a honda cvt!
I just got the 2016 EX-T coupe. Awesome car. Great gas milage. Lots of compliments. The trunk space is fantastic.
I have a 2020 Civic Sport (2.0liter non turbo) now I feel like I, too, hit the jackpot
Me too. Any troubles yet?
@@MrBig-ow3wy No sir! I traded it for a 2.0T Accord. managed to go from 5k negative to 3k positive in a few months due to the car market
Having watched my older brother and his friends work on project/hobby cars years ago, we all came to the same conclusion: Such cars are holes in the driveway that money disappears into.
Thanks Scotty, you’re the best!
I have that car but with the manual and it’s amazing 160k miles and still runs perfectly
Great to hear! I have a 2020 Civic sport sedan with the 2.0 NA K20C2 motor and 6 speed manual transmission as well. Have you had to replace the clutch yet?
I literally bought this same civic after watching this video...never regretted it
Will last many years, enjoy 👍🏻🙂
@@bretthansen8166 thank you my friend 👌🏼
Got me a 17 accord 2.4 cvt in December and I love it. Did my reset and stayed away from that 1.5
have a 2015 with the CVT and its been great at 78k
TOO INFORMATIVE TO SKIP!
Thanks and God bless! 👍
Finally a review that isnt 30sec for my submodel
I just bought a 2017 Honda Civic ex about two months ago, I love the car! 45k miles on it, got her for just under $16k
Lol you got hussled. That is worth like $14k
@@KnockoutInvesting shut up and let the man enjoy his car. Geez!
Knockout Investing Life 2014 Civics are still being sold for $15k lol
The EX doesn’t have a turbo... you dodged a bullet. One trim level up and you’d be having oil dilution problems
Get rid of it!
I bought the “fancier” 2018 Civic EXT (Turbo) new in June 2018. It has been trouble-free after nearly two and a half years of driving (56,680 miles) of mixed city/highway driving with maintenance every 3500 miles. I live in Westchester county, NY. So far, it’s the best car I’ve ever owned.
Where’d you buy it from? WP, Yonkers, New Ro? I’m looking for the best dealer to buy from.
Thank you!! I heard about some oil problems with the 2016 civic but I know now it’s with the 1.5 litter engine and the 2.0 engine doesn’t have that so that helps with just knowing about them in general.
Makes me more confident in buying my 2020 Civic Sport, 2.0L 6MT. I got it back in January with only 6 miles on it, but now in May, I already have over 10600 miles.
I was wondering when you'd review my car! Had it for a year, no issues except for AC condenser (covered under service contract, and now Honda themselves). Love the way it handles and steers
Malik Harris I’ve heard they have AC issues. I found it funny that Scotty didn’t mention that. Glad yours got covered in the warranty/TSB
Lefai Kao Yes, we came close to getting one last week but heard about the AC issues and Honda not even backing the warranty.....blaming outside debris damaging the AC, instead of their faulty design. And leaving customers on the hook for expensive repairs even when under warranty. The whole point of getting a new car is to avoid expensive repairs. We’re disappointed because we really like the Civic, but reliable AC is a must for us.
I always love seeing the laughing horse
That horse could chew a cob of corn through a barbwire fence.
All honda 1.5 turbo engines have more than just oil dilution issues. Bad head gaskets and headgasket damage is common. Bad gdi injectors, failing sparkplugs, misfires, turbo failures, you name it.
I recently discovered this channel. This dude is a genius and a wonderful person. I 'am starting to love Scotty. Love his saying " Don't jump in the pool before checking how deep the water is first"...common sense👌🏼.
Thank you Scotty! I used to regret not getting the touring model. But I have a 2017 Civic EX 2.0L and this makes me feel better about my purchase decision. I made the decision to go with NA engine because I didn’t trust the turbocharged engine. But I did wished I could have a manual transmission, which it’s rare to find one with a 2.0L engine.
how do you feel the emergency passing power is on that? Thats my only concern with the 2.0L
My family just picked up a 2019 Honda Civic Lx 2.0 with the 6 speed today. Only 13000 on the odometer too!
Agreed it’s hard to find one with a manual transmission.
I finally got lucky on New Year’s Day 2021 after looking a couple months for a 2020 civic sport sedan with a manual gearbox and NA 2.0 engine.
How many miles and how much did you get it for? Just curious because I got my 2020 Sport 2.0 6-speed during the beginning of the pandemic for $23,000.
@@UnknownLifter Got mine on 2017 with 5 miles at $22,000
Scotty, I wish I had found your channel before I bought my CR-V with the 1.5T engine...
I did the sentimental rebuild with my father's car, cost me a small fortune but I'll always have his memories and a sweet car
I got the 2016 highest grade model with all the bells and whistles. Get it maintained at 5000km instead of 10k as they recommend. So far so good, no issue. It's an amazing car, looks damn good too
omfg literally bought a used 2017 honda civic lx days ago!!! 🤩
just bought one, how is it going>?
Scotty I just bought my own lady a 2016 Honda Civic with only thirty thousand miles on it no issues.... what do u think
I also bought my wife the 2017 Civic EX 2.0 L, turbos run too hot, but did not know about the oil dilution problems, thanks Scotty
Wow. This is a lot of extremely useful info!
What would we do without good ol, Uncle-Scotty?
I'm going low end civic, manual, no turbo.
Scotty: **opens any car door**
Also Scotty: **slaps the seat**
Well I didnt know daihatsu sold cars in the US, I learn something new everytime I watch scotty's videos
I have the same car & was relieved when I saw this video!
Scotty, I'm interested in getting a Honda Civic. You mentioned that a 2016 Civic with the 2.0 L is a good car, but how about a 2017-2019 Civic with the 2.0? Are they still good and reliable?
Just got a 2017 Honda Civic ex 2.0 for 12k with 67,000 miles and I love everything about it.. thank you Scotty for the good advice 👍🏽
Was that car rebuilt? Only asking because I’m trying to find cars but they over pricing in my area
Definitely not in California unfortunately smh looking to get one 18k 60 k miles
@@swagkidm10yeah sorry bud I got mine In Texas. The car was really going for 15k but since it was my mom boyfriend that was selling it I just got lucky to get it at that price
I own a 2016 civic Ex w Sunroof and 1.5 best Honda I’ve owned...thanks Scotty! Great review
Well scotty . I used to have a bmw 318 e36 . And decided to change after 12 years. I bought a civic 2016 2.0. Since 4 month ago. I used your advice about car brand and oil dilution thing. And here we are you giving credit to this car which makes me pretty confident about my choice. And here I am a good student 😜
Scotty I have a 1997 Toyota Camry with 395,000 miles no check engine light drives like new. I wanna show you some pictures or a video, how can I do that?
What year?
Have you ever had motor oil burning after reach to 1k miles? If so what is the problem? My car is 284k miles.
Awesome. What year?
Can't beat Toyota for longevity. I have 2010 Rav with CVT. It too drives like new and affordable to maintain.
That Camry is just getting broke in.
My 92 LE V6 HAS JUST OVER 393000
Missing hubcap, heck for a nice ride like this, I'll spring for some nice simple rims and tires for this baby...
Hell yeah
I can seriously appreciate how nonchalant you are about the interior. "Digital dash, looks cool!"
I'm only thirty and I hate digital dashes, but when you put it that way? Yeah! It does!
I have a 2014 Civic with cvt I'm about to get to 150,000 and the only thing I've had to do was replace automatic tensioner. Cvt still running smooth
I just convinced my parents to get a 2019 Honda Civic LX 2.0l with the 6 speed Manuel! I told them nothing beats that reliability
2.0 + 6 Speed is the most reliable way to buy a Civic by far 👍🏻
