From someone who owns a 2012 honda civic I can say it honestly a very reliable car, yes despite the cheap plastics but that to me isn't what matters. It is still a good car for a daily commuter.
@@allenelder4675 I've had an '91 Civic (4 gen) as my first car, apart from rust and typical things like brake pads nothing had to be done to this car. Now I have R5 turbocharged Lancia and well... it's not a bad car at all, but mine had a very rough life and I swore to bring it back to its prime and get a photo with it placed in front of the Fiat factory in Turin, just for fun. Maybe it will finally happen next year. :D
@@allenelder4675 well, I'm from Poland and this particular Lancia model was used by our authorities a lot evan 20 to 15 years ago. Mine served in parliament, I wasn't hunting for such but since it was one of the few with the engine I wanted - I got it even though it was pretty ruined. It's an endless money pit, if I was buying with a reason I'd go for a Honda or Toyota. But I forgot to take the reason with me, so... ;) As for the old Civic, to this day I turn my head when I hear D16 engine, and I'm never wrong. Some good memories were made, it was really fun car to drive, and so dang reliable despite it's age.
I remember test driving an Si a few years ago. They sure do lean a lot when going through twisties. It Almost felt like you were the captain of a large yacht. Hah. I ended up going with a 2016 Focus RS and the acceleration is neck snapping. It's fast and outhandles some real deal sports cars. The RS specifically is built with pride unlike CERTAIN newer Toyota models. Scotty knows what I mean by that Comment
I'm now part of the Honda family. I recently bought a 2016 Honda Civic with 14,400 miles on it. Not bad at all. Other than needing to vacuum and wipe down the interior, it was well kept. Engine compartment was very clean and the car drives like it's a brand new car.
Odyssey 1999-2004, Honda Accord 1998-2005, Honda Civics 2001-2005. Those cars have bad automatic transmissions. I heard that some Pilot 2003-2004 as well. I have a Pilot 2004 and so far transmission is not slipping but it acts like sometimes in the morning do not want to change gears. It looks like is a sensor. After it gets warm it works fine. I had a civic 2002 and my transmission broke in 156,000 miles. Had to installed another one. Also have a Honda Civic 2014 with CVT. So far is all good it has 46,000 miles. With Honda youvhave to change the oil every 40 or 50k. Those automatic transmissions are more soft than Toyotas.
@@Jose-xb6st I have 2014 Honda Civic Lx @ 68k miles. I've only done maintenance, re-alignment, and battery replacement. Other than that...it purrs like a kitten. I do need to change the transmission oil. I'm overdue clearly. I did not realize I had to and I looked it up after I saw your comment. Weird.
@@sirgalahad5208 No its not luck, either you got hondas with burnt engine lights or you just replace all of your sensors constantly. Still there is no absolute way a car won't show a engine light in 20+ years unless its burnt.
@@Jaipistons Because it's slow and weak from stock. The fact that you can mod it to be something else doesn't mean it's a sports car. It's really just the "sporty" version of a gas saver.
I have had my 13 si for over a year now and it's hands down the best car I've owned. Its for sure an upgrade over a normal civic. The new civics I'll probably wait for a refresh in a few more years to see how it goes.
I bought a 2019 Civic Si coupe a few months back, I drive a lot to and from work so already at 6,000 miles. I love the car, it has some quirk's but overall I'm happy with it.
I have the 2012 and i just hit 50k on it. Been talking decent care of her but the paint is all damaged now and ready for a recoat. One of my tpms sensors just went out in a tire too but overall she's been great to me. No major issues and i got the manual too. I had a 91 Integra with the b18 before that and have loved Honda since. I do also have 2 vehicles with Chrysler engines which i also enjoy but the Honda is solid and most reliable. Mine is the base model and does not have the Bluetooth. Been thinking of upgrading to one of those Android screens, no sunroof either if you don't have the si. Also in my model the dash lights are blue and not red.
@@thomasengel1459 for situations like that. Ie a recall. They have a contact with the manufacturer to offer services at a heavily discounted rate. They much rather not have to do it. Only if the consumer raises the issue
I just bought a 2012 Honda Civic coupe. I liked the 2-door better. It has 58k miles and I could have got a newer one but the newer ones all had higher miles! I went with the older but less driven.
Just bought a 2013 Civic EX with 5 speed manual transmission (2 weeks ago) and I like it! Pretty fun to drive, it handles very well, pretty fast for 140 HP and 5.6 liters/100 km (42 MPG) mostly highway/country roads but still very efficient in city too. Solid car and R18 engines are bulletproof.👍🙌🔰🏎💨
Sebastian Brzeczeszczykiewicz Probably means that since it has matching #’s it hasn’t been in any accident. Because all the body panels of you new anything about Honda’s all have serial#’s on them
My 2018 Si gets 29.9 mpg it’s one of the most enjoyable cars I ever drive besides the economic features hindering some power and rev drop but that can be taken care of with a tune once the warranty is gone of course
I’m will still keep my 97 accord no problems at all with 250k miles on it with cheap maintenance I do myself and this civic si looks clean and better gas economy will definitely get one
Dont think you need a SI for a daily driver. (WHEN I think daily driver I think comfort and most. Efficient, and of course safe.) But we all have our own opinions on what we want in a DD. Nice video otherwise! My Civic isn't exactly stock. But its only lightly mod. Yellow fog lights, new headlights with better visibility, and a new RED H on the rare. Since the original fell off. (Its a 2005 ex coupe) oh its white and rust highlights, because that civic has issues with rust.
Yeah I am stuck between a Honda and a Lexus. The latter one offers great comfort but not so great fuel economy while the former does the opposite pretty much lol Maybe an Accord could offer me both ?
@@FredTheLutinoCocatiel You got that right! He was a original and participated on so many other originals product- (Still coding ha!) Have a good week-
Yep the 8th & 9th gen civics are the most reliable cars ever made. My fathers 12 year old 8th gen civic has not faultered once. Even all the bulbs are original on it with him just servicing the car and put new tyres on. The mechanics dread them here in the uk saying to me that they only come in for the services.
The Japanese make great cars, but if only they could stop them from rusting. Toyota is mostly okay, but all those Hondas, Mitsubishis and of course Mazdas rust like crazy. I had a 1996 Galant, running perfectly fine, great vehicle, but I had to get rid of it because the floor has almost completely rusted away.
@skbuoy That was just my personal experience. Another examples are Mazda 6 and 3 (legends among rusting cars), Mitsubishi ASX, Toyota Yaris (especially I and II, Honda Civic, Suzuki Swift. Even 2014+ Mazdas rust after any minor paintjob damage. I don't know about America, but literally every (except for Dacia) European based car manufacturer is galvanizing their cars. And Japanese cars? Non of them is galvanized.
I have a 2013 LX and it's a true pleasure to drive. Definitely feels like my old 2000 LX, Civics have a great tradition of driving finesse that few other major car makers can make a claim to (without paying a premium). My Civic never complains whenever I need to maneuver it.
I have a 2007 FA5. Fiji blue- bought it for 6k with 110k on the clock and it’s all stock original clutch and runs like a top. 26 mpg pulling it by the hair every day. Absolute pleasure to drive and cheap to own. Great dailies- I drive 65 miles a day and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else for the money
@@sdushdiu I researched every list I could find (because I admit that "most reliable" is subjective and "cheapest" is also variable due to different costs of different things such as insurance in different locations) and the only list that I found that mentioned the Corolla , had it at #11, in which the same exact list had the Prius at #1. The Prius is simply cheaper, and generally more reliable. Obviously it saves money on gas. There is no automatic transmission to wear out (The unique gear-drive transmission lasts longer than conventional auto trans, and much longer than standard CVT's), nor clutch to wear out. The brake pads are used much less often, requiring replacement intervals extraordinarily long in most instances. The engine runs less often, so spark plugs last much longer, even oil changes can be extended with less impact. They also have higher resale value than Corolla. The battery pack generally lasts 150k-300k miles, or 10-15 years, and can currently be replaced for around $2K-3K. Even with that, Prius still shows a net savings over it's life compared to a Corolla.
@@BaltimoreAndOhioRR If you are interested in some REAL WORLD OBJECTIVE evidence-based facts rather than your subjective feelings, you will note as well that a Prius is a HYBRID auto, not simply an electric - which does not make the gasoline engine maintenance proof and able to be ignored...Nor are electric devices immune to failure. The average total annual cost for repairs and maintenance on a Toyota Corolla is $367 The average total annual cost for repairs and maintenance on a Toyota Prius is $423, Battery cost - avg failure 200K miles - replacement labor extra 2012-2015 Toyota Prius Liftback - $3,939 2012-2016 Toyota Prius V - $3,939 2012-2016 Toyota Prius C - $3,807 2007-2011 Toyota Camry Hybrid - $4,892 2012-2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid - $4,892 2013-2015 Toyota Avalon Hybrid - $4,892 2006-2010 Toyota Highlander Hybrid - $6,198 2011-2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid - $6,353 Radiator Replacement $560 - $785 AC Recharge $123 - $156 Wheel Alignment $132 - $167 Air Conditioning Refrigerant Recover $35 - $45 Ignition Coil Replacement $342 - $644 Windshield Washer Pump Replacement $142 -$163 Head Gasket $3150 Most common Prius problems: Center Multi-Function Display May Fail Fuel Gauge May Read Incorrectly
@@sdushdiu yes, I am interested. And I know full well what a prius is. Did you even read my comment, or look at this as an argument to win? I specifically mentioned spark plugs and oil changes. The prius engine runs less, specifically idling, so those wear parts need to be changed less often. there is no alternator. Why did you give me a list of costs for hybrid batteries, some of which we're not even talking about? I could copy and paste a similar list from somewhere else with lower prices. And can you give me the source of the annual maintenance costs you posted? By the way, that list doesn't include fuel costs, insurance, and resale value. Which when factored in, again, make the prius cheaper to own and operate.
Hell yeah. My DD is a 2014 Si sedan and it’s an awesome car. It’s got the newer red & black seats and full touch screen infotainment system. Fun to drive and looks & sounds good IMO.
All civic si are great very reliable small cars with good gas mileage. They have got a bit heavy and a bit less fun to drive but they are still great cars.
My daily driver/winter car is a 2012 Civic LX Coupe... I picked it up with low kilometrage and for a good price. The LX is not as powerful as an SI but gets much better gas mileage and runs on cheaper gas.
The 2012s were arguably the worst Civics ever made. Granted this is the Si which makes it a little better, but the 2012 model was panned by the media so badly that Honda had to refresh it after only one year. NEVER buy a 2012 Civic.
Drive DB7 I wouldn’t say that to a car that sells over 300k units a year you might think it’s horrible but the other 300k people that actually bought the car?
@@adcolt54 I think it depends on what site you find. The one I found says the accord and civic have gone back and forth from #1 & #2, but the accord is currently #1. Idk who to believe. Haha
@@adamemac The list I referenced from was 2017 so you must be correct. I found a list on CBS site which lists the Chevy Silverado as the #1 most stolen vehicle in 2018 so you're right on where you find the list.
Girls need an automatic and soy boys too. You could probably find someone who would be willing to teach u how to shift the gears. In a few months I bet you’d be able to drive in traffic as good as my grandmother. She drives grandpas dodge diesel in town pulling a 37 ft camper shifting a five speed like an over the rd trucker. Don’t give up....I bet u can learn to do it
@@mikecastellon3022 man I have driven manuals and I know how to drive manuals really good. But you can't teach me that automatic transmission is way less work. It's more convenient when your one hand is free.

3 months now since I bought a 2012 Si, I tell y'all it's very hard not to speed in an Si. Love my Civic Si.
BrownKnight011 I picked up an ‘09 Si about a month and a half ago. I love that thing.
It's my first Si I've owned, no regrets. This is saying alot as I own a BMW 328i Sport Package. I drive my Si more then then the BMW.

This is a nice car. I have a 06 EX coupe. The 10th gen have a little too much busy details going on.
Happy Fathers Day Scotty!!!!! Thanks for all you do!!
Nice Civic!
Clean and understated until you see the manual stick-
I know it moves-
It's a keeper-
From the UK .England. love the videos SCOTTY 😎
Do your opinion on 99 Honda Civic ex coupe
My 2018 Si gets 29.9 mpg it’s one of the most enjoyable cars I ever drive besides the economic features hindering some power and rev drop but that can be taken care of with a tune once the warranty is gone of course
Does it have to be the 2012 though. It's bringing back those memories of the year Honda officially switched to a profit over customer company.
I’m will still keep my 97 accord no problems at all with 250k miles on it with cheap maintenance I do myself and this civic si looks clean and better gas economy will definitely get one
Dont think you need a SI for a daily driver. (WHEN I think daily driver I think comfort and most. Efficient, and of course safe.) But we all have our own opinions on what we want in a DD. Nice video otherwise! My Civic isn't exactly stock. But its only lightly mod. Yellow fog lights, new headlights with better visibility, and a new RED H on the rare. Since the original fell off. (Its a 2005 ex coupe) oh its white and rust highlights, because that civic has issues with rust.
Yeah I am stuck between a Honda and a Lexus. The latter one offers great comfort but not so great fuel economy while the former does the opposite pretty much lol Maybe an Accord could offer me both ?
@@Nexus-7.0 there is always the hybrid Accord option now. Maybe test drive one.
Man the ending when you close the garage and the message appears. That was so clean、such a good way to end the video.
Scotty went Stage 2 with that intro
Defcon 3. LOL.
Nice little car! Love the red trim. Thank You for showing it. Thanks to Scotty as always and I just love the intro now!
Gayle Green 😂"nice little car"
9th gen SI's will probably outlive the 10th gens.
2.4 N.A. vs 1.5 Turbo.
Happy Fathers Day Scotty!
and all others!!

@@FredTheLutinoCocatiel You got that right!
He was a original and participated on so many other originals product-
(Still coding ha!)
Have a good week-
The 2.4 ltr engine was in all kinds of Hondas, CRVs, Accords, even Element. They're bulletproof.
same thing with the 1.8!
That new intro is 🔥
Lol having to deal with a coked out dad very early on fathers day morning... This makes up for it a little
You'll get past if stat strong!
Yep the 8th & 9th gen civics are the most reliable cars ever made.
My fathers 12 year old 8th gen civic has not faultered once.
Even all the bulbs are original on it with him just servicing the car and put new tyres on.
The mechanics dread them here in the uk saying to me that they only come in for the services.
The Japanese make great cars, but if only they could stop them from rusting. Toyota is mostly okay, but all those Hondas, Mitsubishis and of course Mazdas rust like crazy.
I had a 1996 Galant, running perfectly fine, great vehicle, but I had to get rid of it because the floor has almost completely rusted away.
Their Suzuki cars don't rust
@skbuoy That was just my personal experience. Another examples are Mazda 6 and 3 (legends among rusting cars), Mitsubishi ASX, Toyota Yaris (especially I and II, Honda Civic, Suzuki Swift. Even 2014+ Mazdas rust after any minor paintjob damage.
I don't know about America, but literally every (except for Dacia) European based car manufacturer is galvanizing their cars. And Japanese cars? Non of them is galvanized.
My 99 Accord I sold this year did not have any rust on it and I am in New England and on salty Cape Cod sometimes.
Car looks very clean and well taken care of. I used to own 2014 Si. It was a fun little car.
Just buy a used Integra type r or civic type r gear knob. Way nicer
Right. It's not 150 because it's a super nice shift knob.. It's 150 dollars because it's a part for a 2010+ car coming from the stealership...
I have a 2013 LX and it's a true pleasure to drive. Definitely feels like my old 2000 LX, Civics have a great tradition of driving finesse that few other major car makers can make a claim to (without paying a premium). My Civic never complains whenever I need to maneuver it.
Sorry I fell asleep, what car was shown? 😴
A funny looking '94 Toyota Celica
I have a 2007 FA5. Fiji blue- bought it for 6k with 110k on the clock and it’s all stock original clutch and runs like a top. 26 mpg pulling it by the hair every day. Absolute pleasure to drive and cheap to own.
Great dailies- I drive 65 miles a day and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else for the money
Wait.
Isn't the celica the best daily driver.
Damn you scotty!
Why did I read this in Butters’ voice ?
Love my 2012 Civic Si Orange.
Sorry, but the Toyota Corolla remains the most reliable cheapest to drive vehicle.
actually that would be the prius ("most reliable cheapest")
@@BaltimoreAndOhioRR Nope, not for total lifecycle costs including a NEW BATTERY.
@@sdushdiu I researched every list I could find (because I admit that "most reliable" is subjective and "cheapest" is also variable due to different costs of different things such as insurance in different locations) and the only list that I found that mentioned the Corolla , had it at #11, in which the same exact list had the Prius at #1.
The Prius is simply cheaper, and generally more reliable. Obviously it saves money on gas. There is no automatic transmission to wear out (The unique gear-drive transmission lasts longer than conventional auto trans, and much longer than standard CVT's), nor clutch to wear out. The brake pads are used much less often, requiring replacement intervals extraordinarily long in most instances. The engine runs less often, so spark plugs last much longer, even oil changes can be extended with less impact.
They also have higher resale value than Corolla.
The battery pack generally lasts 150k-300k miles, or 10-15 years, and can currently be replaced for around $2K-3K.
Even with that, Prius still shows a net savings over it's life compared to a Corolla.
@@BaltimoreAndOhioRR If you are interested in some REAL WORLD OBJECTIVE evidence-based facts rather than your subjective feelings, you will note as well that a Prius is a HYBRID auto, not simply an electric - which does not make the gasoline engine maintenance proof and able to be ignored...Nor are electric devices immune to failure.
The average total annual cost for repairs and maintenance on a Toyota Corolla is $367
The average total annual cost for repairs and maintenance on a Toyota Prius is $423,
Battery cost - avg failure 200K miles - replacement labor extra
2012-2015 Toyota Prius Liftback - $3,939
2012-2016 Toyota Prius V - $3,939
2012-2016 Toyota Prius C - $3,807
2007-2011 Toyota Camry Hybrid - $4,892
2012-2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid - $4,892
2013-2015 Toyota Avalon Hybrid - $4,892
2006-2010 Toyota Highlander Hybrid - $6,198
2011-2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid - $6,353
Radiator Replacement $560 - $785
AC Recharge $123 - $156
Wheel Alignment $132 - $167
Air Conditioning Refrigerant Recover $35 - $45
Ignition Coil Replacement $342 - $644
Windshield Washer Pump Replacement $142 -$163
Head Gasket $3150
Most common Prius problems:
Center Multi-Function Display May Fail
Fuel Gauge May Read Incorrectly
@@sdushdiu yes, I am interested. And I know full well what a prius is. Did you even read my comment, or look at this as an argument to win? I specifically mentioned spark plugs and oil changes. The prius engine runs less, specifically idling, so those wear parts need to be changed less often. there is no alternator.
Why did you give me a list of costs for hybrid batteries, some of which we're not even talking about? I could copy and paste a similar list from somewhere else with lower prices.
And can you give me the source of the annual maintenance costs you posted?
By the way, that list doesn't include fuel costs, insurance, and resale value. Which when factored in, again, make the prius cheaper to own and operate.
Hell yeah. My DD is a 2014 Si sedan and it’s an awesome car. It’s got the newer red & black seats and full touch screen infotainment system. Fun to drive and looks & sounds good IMO.
The 2019 Hatch Sport Touring looks way better, that last style: nah.
Robert Holmes true my friend!
eljuancho2 👍👍👍
All civic si are great very reliable small cars with good gas mileage. They have got a bit heavy and a bit less fun to drive but they are still great cars.
When you can't afford the Honda type r
WooferJr hey now. What are you driving?
I have a 2011 SI it's been a great car!!
"This dash will look impeccable" Somehow I doubt that!
Really Happenings - Yeah, the panel gaps will be even wider and the sun-baked plastic will just crack.
My daily driver/winter car is a 2012 Civic LX Coupe... I picked it up with low kilometrage and for a good price. The LX is not as powerful as an SI but gets much better gas mileage and runs on cheaper gas.
The 2012s were arguably the worst Civics ever made. Granted this is the Si which makes it a little better, but the 2012 model was panned by the media so badly that Honda had to refresh it after only one year. NEVER buy a 2012 Civic.
Drive DB7 it still sold really well people not auto journalists don’t really care about interior plastics
f181234 - Corollas sell really well, too. So what? Both are horrible cars.
Drive DB7 I wouldn’t say that to a car that sells over 300k units a year you might think it’s horrible but the other 300k people that actually bought the car?
Nice looking car. You can tell this guy takes care of it this thing will last forever
“Sport injection”? 🤣
New intro is amazing I don't think it can get any better. Your channel is true educational content for vehicles.
Isn't the Honda Civic also the second most stolen car in the U.S.?
I'll stick with my CR-V. Haha
adam mac Not the Si! The manual transmission is practically an anti-theft device in and of itself!
@@rrennnerr Ohhh, I wasn't aware. Good to know, thanks.
It's the most stolen car in the US. The Accord comes in a close second.
@@adcolt54 I think it depends on what site you find. The one I found says the accord and civic have gone back and forth from #1 & #2, but the accord is currently #1. Idk who to believe. Haha
@@adamemac The list I referenced from was 2017 so you must be correct. I found a list on CBS site which lists the Chevy Silverado as the #1 most stolen vehicle in 2018 so you're right on where you find the list.
Have a 2002 Civic with 173,000 miles, still going strong! Had to replace the timing belt about at about 150,000 though..
Liked everything except the manual part. A daily commuter car shouldn't be manual.
Girls need an automatic and soy boys too. You could probably find someone who would be willing to teach u how to shift the gears. In a few months I bet you’d be able to drive in traffic as good as my grandmother. She drives grandpas dodge diesel in town pulling a 37 ft camper shifting a five speed like an over the rd trucker. Don’t give up....I bet u can learn to do it
@@mikecastellon3022 man I have driven manuals and I know how to drive manuals really good. But you can't teach me that automatic transmission is way less work. It's more convenient when your one hand is free.
Excelent presentation. Well spoken lad, nice real people's car
I really dig the new intro Scotty.
This new intro is SICK!
