I bought mine 2013 on the Civic EXL on Halloween 2013 with 12 miles on it. I now have about 450K on it. Have only replaced alternator, AC compressor and wheel bearing. The best car I’ve ever had.
Awesome! Love to hear that
As a mechanic myself, I can assure you these hondas are very reliable. I own one, a 2013 civic 1.8L and all I have done is regular oil changes, transmission fluid and filter changes every 30k miles, brakes and rotors when needed. However, this is just standard maintenance. On the otehr hand, the only fix I did was getting a "D" light flashing, which is common, and its not necessarily a transmission problem but a transmission fluid pressure sensor, which is external. Also, a minor oil leak coming from the timing chain inspection plate, which is very easy to repair. I do my own repairs on both my vehicles, including my Toyota camry. I've seen other makes and models such as GMC, Chevy and their timing chains have snapped at only 35 k miles because of their horrible eco tec engines. The hyundais and kias are as worse as GM and chevy, severe oil consumption, piston rings problems, engine blows up, catch on fire due to short under fuse box. I used to work for hyundai, Ford, and Subaru that's why I inow these things. As far qs Subarus, they qre also decent cars.. Nissans? They used to be reliable but now with their Jatco CVT transmissions, the biggest garbage ever.... They fail at around 45 to 65k miles, sometimes even sooner.. since Nissan merged with Renault, its quality has gone down the drain.
💯
I have a 2013 LX with 392,000 miles on it. I've never had any problems. I don't change the oil until the system tells me to. Sometimes its 12,000 miles. Other than oil changes, just brakes and tires. I just recently had to get new rear drums for the first time. I did get new shocks, and I replaced the side window moldings because they were cracking. I could use a new steering wheel, and some of the radio buttons are worn out. Overall, it has been a great car.
Awesome, thanks for sharing! That maintenance minder is crazy 😅
Wow that’s awesome!
I have a 2012 LX and I just hit 347,000 miles. Only a starter and a ignition tumbler were the only major problems till now. The ignition could have been because I had weight with a lot of keys on it.
Have you ever had to change the cat or had an engine light po420?
That’s beautiful brother I have the same car got it with 131,000 miles and only things I’ve done is the regularly oil changes and tires as well only had to change my brakes once and daytime lights I can’t really say anything else oh yea and air filters. I took the time to get a tune up just for the f of it but great car man wouldn’t give it up for nun
2012 civic lx.i bought it new, drove it off the lot , i love this car and it now has 118k miles.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing
Sent you a superthanks because you absolutely nailed the hesitation and slight bucking from a stop. My car has 190K and I drain and fill the tranny every 30k but the bucking was very concerning to me. I popped the hood, and checked that tube and its cracked at least half way around. I duct taped it till I can replace it and instantly the skipping was gone! I also have the oil seeping from the plate on the side of the block. Can't thank you enough for putting this video together.
thank you so much! Very glad to help you 🙌
Should definitely replace the air intake hose - running unfiltered air is asking for trouble

Consumer Reports still continues to rate the 2015 Civic as the most reliable in the entire Civic's history. Even the new 2023 Civic can't beat 2015's rating. Today, Consumer Reports lists Honda Civic as #3 most reliable, after Toyota Corolla and Mazda 3, down from #1 when it peaked in 2015.
Sounds about right
what about 2012. i've never had a single issue ever and it's got 306,000 on the dash
@@endritbajrami8795 👏
@@endritbajrami8795 2012-2015 are all rated excellent in relaibity by Consumer Reports. 2015 is the highest-rated, while the 2013 is the last Civic with 5-speed automatic instead of CVT that may bring extra durability with more miles total in service.
@@endritbajrami8795same with mine just a bit less k
Glad most of these are “simple fixes”! I have a 2015 Civic for college/daily community and LOVE IT. I also checked out other cars like Toyota, Mazda, Subaru but Hondas will always be on my list 🙌💯🎊
Awesome, thanks for sharing
I have a '12 Coupe EX and I gotta say I love it. I've been using it to deliver pizzas while I got through college so I've put some serious wear and tear on it but it holds up strong. Replaced starter, battery, and brake pads once, other than that just oil changes every few months. Gonna look into maybe getting some suspension work done because it's starting to ride a little squeaky, but still drives fine.
It's my recommendation for a first time car owner, just because it needs minimal work and never gives me problems
My only gripe is that especially on the coupe, the engine bay is so small and crammed in, making it hard to work on anything. It's also so low to the ground that you have to jack it up to do any fluid changes. Also catches a lot of snow on the underside due to this in the winter
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the vid. I own a 2012 SI with 285K miles on her. Do all my own work. Replaced front hub bearings twice, and rear once. Had that intake air filter tube fail. No codes with MAP sensor. Best car I've ever owned .
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
You’re spot on with that pressure switch loosening up. Happened to my 2015 Covic Coupe. Thought my oil pan was leaking but I found it was that switch. Took out the battery to have more space and tighten it up. I drew a white like across the transmission block and the switch bolt to see if it loosens up but so far so good. 3k miles since that happened and it’s still nice and tight.
Seen it too many times 😅
Love my 2012 si very little problems, great video.
Those cars are simple yet awesome. Thanks for watching.
Checking out a 13 for my friend. looks like timing chain engine and last year before they went to the cvt. Engine block issues was corrected all in all the 13 looks like a great year to buy happy she is going with it. Can't wait to get her in that car hopefully a lot of trouble free years ahead. Thank you for the review.
Awesome, hopefully all works out.
I've owned my 12 LX for 7 years and have 195k. It's been a really good car. The auto will flare at times but the service is rather easy. Never uses any oil. I like the 2012 because it is so low key.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing and best of luck!
Does it ever jerk when coming to a stop? Or act jerky around 30mph?
What do you mean flare at times ?
Great video and informative 🙏🏽
Thank you. Appreciate the continued support
She’s a beauty. I have a manual ‘12 civic coupe and will be the old guy in 30 years still driving a ‘12 manual civic coupe.
Awesome, thanks for sharing
I have an 08 Civic Ex coupe manual 5 speed but I'm looking into getting a 2012 because my 08 has major cosmetic issues like side mirror, bumper fell off, stupid shit like the console not closing... tired of messing with it. Also water seals around doors and headliner so this 2012 is in better shape.
@@amethystaquariusglendagree1070 ✅
I like this gen Civic. Great transportation.
💯 so much so I might make one my daily soon.
I have a 2015 with 139,000 Miles. Car has been exceptional. The CVT went out last week and it was a 7,000 repair bill.
Wowwwww 😮
Did you do your transmission maintenance? Because around every 60,000 miles you gotta replace that cvt oil. Ive done some hondas where the trans oil smells like manure from how old it is.
NEVER BUY A CVT ANYTHING i have this car in manual. ONLY buy AT or MT no CVT
I have a 2012 just rolled 190k, I drain and fill the tranny every 30-35K. It only costs 40 bucks in fluid. Sorry about the cvt.
😬😬😬
I have a 2014 EXL w/136K and have had very few issues. As noted in this video, I had to replace the rear calipers and the air tube from the air cleaner to the air intake. The car did not throw any codes for the air tube though. I've also been advised to change the rubber hydraulic fluid hose feeding the rear calipers if you experience the rear caliper sticking as the friction caused by the sticking will likely cause the hose to cause additional issues. I do change the oil ~ every 5K and the trany fluid anytime the thing starts doing a bit of searching. I have not had success changing the water pump as the bolt holding the tensioner is a bear to remove. I even took the thing to my local mom and pop garage and they could not get the bolt off. Evidently this is a common issue with Hondas and I had the same issue with my wife's 2012 MDX. I will be giving the water pump replacement another attempt soon as the water pump is not going to last forever. For the next try, I'm going to remove the passenger side engine mount and lover the engine a couple of inches. This will enable me to use an impact driver directly to the tensioner bolt. Honda could have placed a hole for access to the tensioner bolt as I've seen in other Honda models. I've been buying Hondas sine 1981 and I believe the 81 Civic and the 2014 EXL and 2013 SI are the best vehicles I've owned. Thanks for the vid as it's always good to hear what issues others have so we can check on our cars before they become an issue.
Thanks for sharing!
At 4:50, that “engine mount” he is referring to is actually called a torque mount and I replaced mine at 110k miles because of cracking.
Great cars, one of my personal favs to work on. I love the 2012. It's so basic, bland and ugly that I love it.
Wierd thing, I saw a 2014 coupe with the same 1.8l and it had a cracked block! Same spot in the front near where the block heater (or engine coolant drain) and oil pressure sending unit is. Super wierd as I though it was limited to the 2006-early 09 ish era.
Hmmm, yeah I’ve never seen a cracked block on these but I suppose it can happen especially if some water concentrated coolant was used. Appreciate the input! Ps basic works 💯
I had the 2014, best car I ever owned. Bulletproof. CVT is a CVT, only drawback about the driving there.
Agreed, sub par driving experience but it works in this case
What was the mileage on the cvt ?
Have a 2012 LX with 220K on it. Only had electrical problems: Replaced alternator, battery, starter.
Thanks for sharing
Passenger check air bag light is also a defect for certain years. The light comes on with no previous collisions. I believe it will be covered by manufacturer until 2030.
The auto 2013-2015 Acura ILX is the same platform with a larger displacement version of the same (R series) engine and the same conventional (non-CVT) automatic.
So if you want to avoid the CVT, is a good alternative.
Great point! Thanks for sharing that!
Actually, the 2.4 engine is not part of the R series. It's part of the K series, it's the same engine found in the Accord from that era
@@Blank00 it came with 1.5 hybrid, 2.0 R series na, and 2.4 k series na all depending on trim.
Good stuff 👍
Thanks!
Thanks!
Wow, thank you so much!
Thanks for the video. One problem I have with my 2012 Civic is that it has to crank a lot in cold start. There is no issue in higher temperatures or when the engine was working recently but when it’s cold and the car was idle overnight, it always has an issue and I need to start the car for almost a minute before to get the engine running. I changed the battery, did not help. I saw many other people have the same issue with their Honda but not sure how to fix it! any advice?
Nice one 👍
Thanks!
Thank you bro
No problem
Love the video has a lot of great information in it! I just have one question tho. I have a 15 Honda with around 28k miles. If I let it sit and idle for about 10 mins it starts to overheat and I can’t figure out why. I’ve replaced both the top and bottom coolant sensors as well as the thermostat. I have noticed that no matter both the ac fan and the rad fan do not kick on. I also replaced the relays related to those. Do you know what could be causing my this over heating issue?
Have you ruled out the fans themselves? Need to check for power and ground when supposed to be on. Depending what you find, diagnose it from there.
I came here to see what issues i will be having with my honda 2015 because it is getting old, it has 351,000kms 😂
Awesome 👏
2015 exl. My car runs flawless. Have to drive a Honda to appreciate these cars..
Great cars
Great cars
Its a good vehicle I have a 2014 civic with 242k miles on it. In my opinion it is fairly reliable vehicle but I had a corolla too and i would say corolla reliability is much better. for me the major work I had was to change the alternator, rear shocks, right brake caliper jammed and leaked. Rotors, brakes and tires couple times other than that regular maintenance so not bad. keep changing transmission oil after every 35k and I never had issues with transmission. I change the oil every 10k, plugs around 20k and flush all fluids around 100k. so im happy with it and obviously steering wheel seems a little worn out now but thats not a biggie I will put a cover on it.
Thanks for sharing
Tranny fluid every 35k and plugs every 20k is absolute overkill.
That little pop off for the transmission that you need to clean out with air popped off for me, I just found it and I just bought it 2 days ago from a dealership
Yes, video tonight about it
no serious concerns. solid buys.
@@HiFiInsider 💯
There is no internal transmission filter because it is behind the engine on the driver side. It looks like an old school fuel filter and easy to replace as well.
On this one that’s correct
I just had my Honda Civic 2015 transmission blow, at close to 200,000 miles. Got it replaced for $8300.
That sounds like double of what it should cost tbh.
The 2012 is awesome.
Absolutely was just dull looking which doesn’t bother some people. As a commenter I personally wouldn’t care as long as it’s reliable.
I live in canada..i have 2013 honda civic EX..315,000km on it .i do routine maintenance myself..its easy car to maintain.. i still have original caliper on it..replaced both axle,serpentine belt and next one is engine and transmission mount....this car is really fantastic.
Awesome, thanks for sharing
I’ve 2015 EX, 92k, so far no major issues. Except oxygen sensor wires getting chewed out twice within the first year of owning the car. It was fixed with a replaced wires and rodent tape wrap up. Time belt cracked once after 8 years of owning - which is expected. I would have thought it would have occurred much later. Other than that cars been fine 🤞🏾
Appreciate your input and congrats on having a great car
Hope it’s not expected…. 2015 Civic has a timing chain, not belt.
@@randycollens2681 lol that.
Looking into either a 13 civic lx or a 18 ex i really want the 18 but the ac problems and the cvt kinda scare me. The 13 here in Cali are so overpriced unfortunately:/ but i know they are super reliable with the automatic transmission.
Get the 13 hands down. Will be cheaper down the line.
@@BCautosolutions I have a rare 2015.9 Civic EX-L w/ navigation (highest-end trim) produced at its final month of the 2015 model year. Can you customize it and change its transmission into 5-speed auto instead of CVT?
@@waltchan you could although it’ll be very costly.
Does the '23 Pilot have a cylinder deactivation system? And can you disable it??
Yes and I don’t see why you can’t like previous years.
The turn signal/orange light on the front drivers side keeps burning out. I couldn’t get the new one in and wound up getting like 3 stuck in the casing 😭 is there a wiring issue for that to be happening?
Probably something going on with that socket
Have a 2012
Replaced the cracked intake hose.
You will need a scan tool to reset idle after cleaning the throttle and maf sensor
Replaced rotors 80k miles for shaking.
If you live somewhere with salt, the parking brake will stick on the caliper... clean with a wire brush and soak with wd-40 twice a year.
Front struts will need replaced eventually
Rear brake caliper piston cracked and leaked fluid after hard braking in negative 40 temperatures....
If you own a manual, the slave cylinder will start squeaking and need to be cleaned/greased.
A cracked intake hose for a while with hesitation I thought it was the transmission but it was just the intake. Did yours throw a code? If you run it for a long time with a cracked intake hose will that make the engine run lean?
@krakenhits1587 my intake hose was also cracked. Some kind of reset was needed after the intake hose was replaced because the throttle was jacked up
How do you reset idle with a scan tool?? I have a blue driver but that’s not an option..
@truthseeker1203 I'm not sure what the tool was. The basic obd11 tool reset wasnt enough. My cousin is a mechanic. He hooked a computer looking tablet to it and started diagnosing and resetting things including the throttle valve (which i was cleaning inside of while changing the intake hose). The difference was day and night when he was done using the computer.
You need a honda specific tool, there are a few available but they're like $400+. Just take it to any honda mechanic and they will reset it @@lionintu
Bro your so right i have a vacuum leak i know that i can feel the car being sluggish at time but i didn’t really pay it too much attention as it was not like every time i literally just check my vacuum hoes going to the throttle body and sure enough there is a tiny tear In between the rings I’m going to replace it hopefully the car will feel more responsive and pick up a bit quicker after I change it i have a 12 LX got it with 62k mikes 4 years ago now a 111K running strong 👌 minor maintenance wheel bearing went bad on me only major thing ide say
Glad to help, I just saved you a few hundred dollars of diag and parts replacements for no reason lol

AC system blows weak, the stereo will flicker eventually at random times, it sounds weird coming out of the tail pipe like the engine has issues, the LX model seats are the most uncomfortable seats.
Thanks for sharing, at the end of the day it’s an entry level car. Low expectations and great reliability
2014 Civic LX. Changed the alternator through CZcams. Was making weird noises and had no power. Looked under the car, it was transmission fluid...I was frustrated. Turns out the sensor on the transmission came loose. Tighten the sensor and refilled the transmission but I need to change the filter. My civic is at 18x,xxx miles
Yep, common issue with them coming loose
my 2012 civic lx coupe with 306,000miles and never had a single issue , i change the oil every 3,500-4,000 miles , i use Platunum Pennzoil full synthetic

Hiya, i have the honda civic 2012 1.8 and my car burns oil, any causes and suggestions on a fix? Thanks
Burning oil will result in needing to be re ringed.
I have a '12 coupe. Runs great, looks great but 2 main issues are torque converter shudder and rear tire noise. The shuddering stops after changing the trans fluid but comes back after a couple weeks of driving. The road noise is unfixable and only the 2012 model from what I've heard. Fortunately, I don't take it on long trips because the noise is really loud
How many miles on it? Rear cupping is pretty common on modern day Hondas and happened even more so with infrequent tire rotations and aggressive tire treads.
@@BCautosolutions 130,000. I do regular rotations. Tires are good, not agressive tread.
@@bindig1 how’s your struts? Could be worn accelerating the process.
@@BCautosolutionseverything is new.
@@BCautosolutions The road noise has been since day 1. It rides real nice, smooth, I always keep up on maintenence. I've read numerous blogs about the '12s being especially noisy. There is not much as far as insulation goes. I'm going to try laying down butyl/foil sheets especially in the trunk and rear wheel wells. Maybe because it's a coupe it's loud?
My daughter has a 2014 Honda civic lx with about 95k.
She bought it used two years ago. The transmission cap has popped out because the breather was clogged. I cleaned the breather and turned it towards the back so that when driving it does not get clogged. I also put an electrical tape around the cap to slightly increase its diameter and make it fit more tightly. I also put a zip tie on the cap top metal piece (tied it to a hose) so I don’t lose it if it pops out again.
I did replace the transmission filter and drained and filled the transmission fluid twice. (There were signs of squirrels eating nuts right around the transmission cap. I was afraid some nuts might have fallen in).so far so good.
I think it is a reliable car overall.
Appreciate your input 👏
Please take off that electrical tape and just replace the plug. They’re cheap and won’t cause tape to fall inside the tranny
Wat do you think about the Honda Crosstour??? Any major issues???
Great cars. I can do a video on one, definitely some for sure although they are hard to come across.
Is that wire shown at around 3:49 the transmission ground wire?
Yes
What is that black cover at 2:45. I’m wondering because mine is leaking
Timing chain tensioner cover
I need a car. 2012 sounds great Honda Civic could happen.
Buy with confidence
Looking a 2012 lx auto for my sons first car around 100k miles what all should I look for ?
Most of the things mentioned here
I noticed that serpentine belt tensioner get very noisy also.
Yes, true
If the serpentine belt stretches too much, the idler will tap against the block.
I did a stupid thing a year ago, I saw that transmission rubber plugged pop out, so I got a transmission flush, from fire stone, I think that might’ve been a problem with my transmission, and the reason why it got damaged, don’t really know.
If they didn’t use the correct fluid it’s very possible that’s what damaged it. That plug popping out is very common and a simple fix. I have a video addressing that 👍🏻
I have a 2013 Honda Civic with 152k miles, another thing is the paint problem. The paint loss started on the rear door handles and now the paint loss has reached the roof, trunk lid, hood, and right front fender.
It is because Honda skipped a step in the painting process and when you can rub your car, the color of your car will be on your finger(s).😢
Valid point
Can you do a vid like this for the 2008-2012 Accords?
Yes absolutely, I’m trying to cover all models as I can.
This Accord generation (2008 as the worst) has always been fairly troublesome, reported by Consumer Reports and Car Complaints website.
I would say the 2018-2022 beats it in reliability issues.
You said to avoid the hybrids, just curious as to why? Thanks
Battery deteriorated, as this point they are out of warranty and chances of them failing are relatively high and cost a few thousand to replace. Other then that, pretty good cars.
@@BCautosolutions 👍
Please do the si 2012 to 2015, I have the 2012 haha. Burning oil like a tycoon
Hard to come across one but I’ll work on it.
How reliable? I have 01 civic and thinking about it 🤔. Preferably manual. Also, how does engine compare to to k series? Have element, solid engine
I’m not a fan of those 01-05 civics. This is a much better option imo.
I have a 2013 Civic with almost 400,000 kms on it.
I feel some viberation when the car accelerates but stops after it gains speed. I sense that this viberation happens in the beginning of every lower gear changes. I have changed the oil and transmission has been throughly flushed with new fluid.
Any ideas ?

At about 58 sec I heard "They are reliable...and great looking... with the exception of 2012"... does this mean 2012 is just bad cosmetically or also not as reliable? I mostly just care about reliabiliy and not cosmetics.
Just cosmetics

2013 Civic is the last one with a 5-speed automatic transmission instead of a CVT.
i've been having rough rides on My 2012 Lx, is it suspension issues, shocks?
Most likely, yes.
I thought the same thing about mine but the front knocking is a lower ball joint on one side and a stabilizing link and tie rod on the other side

Happy to hear. Best of luck 👍🏻
This civic gives excellent fuel economy when using Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0W20 synthetic oil. You're welcome.

Anything is possible tbh. I have the 1.5t imbedded into my head 🤣
My 2013 civic's TPMS light was always on. It was super annoying.
That can be from tire leak or different brand/speed rated tires. See that a lot. Great point.
I have a 2012 civic. I just replaced the TPMS sensor for 60 bucks at discount tire and the light went off. The sensors run out of battery eventually and when it does the light will come on even if your tire pressure is good.
