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
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! 💪
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
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
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
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
2008 Honda Odyssey here with 185k and going STRONG
Sold my 2008 Accord at 180k miles...lasted me 8 yrs
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.
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?
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!
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.
Good to see the Houston greenery again; it brought back pleasant memories. Hope you and the Mrs are enjoying your vacation.
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’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.
Great episode. Tons of great info.
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
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 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
Yes, I agree. Actual gear is enjoyable, I can feel it shifting when it takes off.
Love my '05 Accord. 2.4, 5sp auto. 275k miles. In the process of freshening up the front suspension.
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. 🤷🏼♂️
2020 Honda Civic Sport here!Runs and drives Great!!!'Lovin it....
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 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.
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 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
I'm still driving my '06 Acura TL with 3.2 L V-6 and 6-speed manual trans !!
they're going to last i have an 08 tl with 252k miles that i drive everyday. wish it were a manual
@@bxthorn3100 The manual _IS_ a lot of fun! Plus, it's the modern "anti-theft" device 🙂
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
My 03 V6 Accord went through 3 transmissions; however their flagship drivetrain options, do tend to be the 4 cylinder models.
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 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 have a 2008 honda civic an i love it. Very reliable an i like the style an it gets up good too.
Hey how many km u get on the full tank in city ? Mine gets me only 360-400
@rishabhsharma3917 well I'm American but I say I get about 30 mpg combined. Be very good on gas on the highway.
@@rishabhsharma3917 I have one I get about 500km a tank in the city although mine is a manual, which gets better city mileage than the automatic.
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
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
I have a 2009 Honda Accord coupe 4-cylinder. Almost 120k miles. Still going strong!
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.
2:21 The duck pic is gold here. Same sound, same energy.
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.
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.
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.
I have the 08 civic same gen as the first one in the video, and I love it so much it handles great and for a single cam engine it has good power
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
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’m Salvadorian also my friend and learning from Scotty as well,….Scotty the whole world is watching you !! Mr. Goat…
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.
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 👍🇺🇸
Beat the System
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
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!
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.
2009 accord....bought at 98k...now have 196k miles...2nd owner....no major issues
Just got the 2007 civic a few weeks ago. Nice car.
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 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.
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 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
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.
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
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 .
@@jayhockley8841 thanks man....just want the best for my vehicle....but I think I seen that video too.....I look it up and check it out again
2000 v6 accord with 314k miles, fuel injection issue but it’s still running strong
My 2015 blacked out coupe is my MVP.
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
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 have 2000 Accord V6 with 250,000 miles. Interior has held up and the engine still pulls strong. The transmission.... well, FML.
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!
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
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.
2007 Honda Civic Si is my daily driver.
Issues:
3rd gear manual trans synchro cause transmission issues (about 4K to fix)
Paint issue after about 8 years
Other than that no problems.
Recently added a Bluetooth head unit with apple car play
4k??? That’s another car….
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.
I have a 2009 accord made in Japan other than the faulty vSA light I can’t turn off it’s running great at 150,000!
Got at least another 100k to go, easy
I got a 2004 Honda civic lx with 291,125 everything is still working great
I have a 2011 CRV. Almost 200,000 miles & very reliable. I'm hoping to drive it another year. Great car!
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.
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.
I’m driving a 2001 Insight with about 200,000 miles on it. It’s my daily driver. Normal maintenance for me is changing oil as needed. I had to replace the hybrid battery when I got it in 2012 (unlike Toyota, it can run with a dead hybrid battery). I had to replace the hybrid battery again last year. The hybrid battery is about the size of a suitcase and consists of 120 D-cells. The lifetime MPG is 51 and I’ve gotten up to 77 MPG on highway trips. I have the Window sticker - the original owner paid $19,990. The transmission is a five-speed manual. Yes, manual transmission on a hybrid. The first generation Insights were built in Japan.
better swap the engine to a kubota diesel 3 cyl with turbo
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

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
@@robertsyre230send the link on what Engine it is I’m getting a Honda Civic 2017 Sedan
I’ve had an 09 Fit Sport with the 5AT and I currently drive a 17 Fit EX-L with the CVT and definitely like the old 5AT way better
I've got a 1991 Honda Accord with 143K miles on it. It still runs great, but is rusted badly around the wheels in the back. Wish I could find someplace selling replacements for the 2 rear quarter panels.
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.
My 2012 Toyota Prius V has a CVT transmission with 139000 miles and everything works fine with just normal maintenance. I like the CVT
Because of smoothie shifting instead of the little bump when gears change.
ECVT is not CVT😅
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.
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 .
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 💪🚘🚗
Have the 2019 civic. Just got notice in the mail from Honda Corporate- a fuel pump failure can occur, the fix (parts) will be ready by September 2024 the earliest.
Back in the late 80's Civic automatic transmissions had a problem with the 2-4 clutch drums coming apart, other than that their auto trannies have been pretty good.
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 had a 2007 Manual in that generation Civic for 2 years in Hawaii. Only car I ever owned that wasn't a Nissan 200sx SER, Infiniti I30, I35, or M35. That 2007 Civic was solid tho, I still liked my 98 Nissan 200sx SER better though.
I'm in Canada. Lots of offers to buy over the years.
2006 Honda Accord 245,800. Had a 2000 Civic EX Coupe that got totaled with 222,000 miles. 😔
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
Currently driving the 2020 accord 2.0T so far so good
those are great cars you should be fine
They can be tuned to make 400+ whp easily
@@2015BLOXXER yeah that’s what I love ab it. It’s plenty fast enough for me as is so I’m keeping it stock for reliability
@@dylanhartrum1669 nice
I LOVE the CVT transmission. It was in my Didge Caliber that I had for 14 1/2 years. ; )
I prefer steel wheels with covers, because you can take them off when new, and use super cheap Walmart ones to get destroyed, then put the factory ones back on when you sell the car to make it more desirable. I also like chrome trim rings on black steel wheels if you can find them.
217,000 on my 08 Odyssey dad mobile... paint may be peeling off the roof, but mechanically shes sound. I keep the maintenance up on it and she just keeps chugging along... good ol 3.5 liter J series engine... as long as I keep that timing belt changed itll run as long as the earth continues to rotate.... lol
Been researching between Odyssey and Sienna. It sounds like newer Odysseys have developed many issues particularly w the transmissions. Think Toyota is falling off the same cliff in recent years.
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
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.
Ive been liking my 2024 civic ex-l hatch after 1k+ miles, ive read as long as im good with the oil changes and trans fluid change ill be okay. Its fun to drive
Civic -05 manual transmission 225 thousand miles, still running good.
