    The 8th gen are those kind of cars that u see and makes you feel like driving it. If you compare them with other brands of the same years, these cars were well ahead of their time.

    I bought last year a 2009 with 74.000km.
    I paid 5.500$ cash and I'm in love. No more car payment for at least 10 years and I can do 99% of the repair myself.
    I'm 45 and used to have BMW but now I will never spend a dime on a transportation vehicle.
    Honda rehability. I love my 8th gen civic.

I also just recently had to replace the A/C compressor. There was a lot of strange squealing noise coming from the engine when it went out. Now A/C is running ice cold.

    These a nice reliable, economical and just a pleasure to drive. Honda's interior and exterior designs are consistently timeless and yes they age very well. I have a 09 and I love it. Mines borrego beige in color but I'm wishing it was that blue color as it's really nice and kinda rare.

    I bought a maroon 2007 Civic VTi about 6 weeks ago as a daily driver. I wasn’t sure if it was the right choice initially but it has grown on me. Even though she’s up to 200,000 km (approx 120,000 miles) she still runs very sweetly. The previous owner put in new rear shocks, rear tyres and a battery along with a minor service so it was good to go and the air con is icy ❄️ cold - a must for Queensland summers. I like the power steering too - not too much assistance, enough so you feel like you’re really driving the car and still can manoeuvre at low speeds easily. To anyone who’s looking for something to commute in and do the occasional trip down the coast I’d say definitely look at the 8th gen Civic

    i am documenting myself about this generation of civic, and I see that there are 2 models. my intuition tells me that one is European the other one is Asian. Where I am from, I can only find the other one, not this one from the video. Are there differences between them? Like major ones? Or just a bit changed the look ?

    • @TheAuto101
      @TheAuto101  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The 8th gen Civic was split into two families. The FG/FD/FA which were the coupes and sedan. Then there was the FK/FN Hatch. The Sedan was sold internationally, the Coupe was North America only, and the Hatchback was Europe only. The coupe and sedan shared a platform, while the Hatchback was on a platform based off the Fit/Jazz. Hope that helps!

      I bought my 2007 Honda Civic LX brand new too, and I drove the 2020 Civic LX from my dealership because my car was serviced for a brake and oil change, and my 2007 LX has better acceleration, handling and better interior design and controls. The 8th gen Civic looks a lot better than the current generation Civics too. I did some serious testing on the 2020 Civic LX, as I took it to the ski mountain through its windy roads to the summit and highway driving. The current generation Civic is inferior compared to the 8th generation Civic with the exception of safety because the current generation Civic has Honda Safety Sense. My 2007 Civic LX drives like it's brand new, and I have over 186,000K on my car now.
