I have this car in polished metal colour, '20 plate facelift with the 1.0l.turbo petrol engine in EX trim. It's an absolute peach of a car and it's one of the best I've owned. Jam packed with kit and more comfortable than some bigger cars I've owned. It's distinctive on the road and you can just sense it will run well for years to come with regular maintenance. 🙂
6 speed manual gearbox is the better option in my opinion.
Manual for Honda all day
@@barryherron5351 You really can't say that about this engine ask a honda mechanic what they think about it its probably the worst engine they have ever made very similar to the ford ecoboom
I drive the 1.5T manual. My normal drive is around 4 mile journey 44mpg, long journey 54mpg, I don't use eco mode and I do red line it every now and then. PS I hate the rev hold.
I drive a 1.5 Prestige CVT - 18 plate. Apart from consumables such as tyres, I've never had any mechanical problems. It doesn't burn oil. Mpg around town averages around 39 but on a motorway run in cruise I can get around 55. It is very nimble and there's plenty of acceleration with plenty of power/speed held in reserve. Honda dealership service plans are good and spread the cost, I've never been dissatisfied with the work or the additional things sorted out under guarantee such as the air conditioning and leaking. Always fixed without issue. The infotainment is slow so switch to android auto which makes things very easy.
Definitely sticking with Honda as electrics become inevitable but hope ranges and charging improve. For now this 10th generation Civic is perfect.
A quick bit of research shows me this is a bad used buy because the wet belt needs changing at 75k at a cost of around 2k similar to the ford ecoboom also a big cost for the belt change. The 1.5 and 1.6 d are both chain driven
Belt change at moment nearer at £1600 which is still bloody ridiculous
I bought a 16 reg FK2 1.8 Sport Nav rather than the FK8, because I won't trust a wet belt engine, even from Honda.
@@shand1967 Correct decision even Honda don't want them back as part exchange it's a terrible engine and so is anything with a wet belt including ford transits people need to research the engine as much as the car.
Bought myself a sonic grey pearl one a few months ago
Your Mrs won't be happy about you liking nobs😂🤦🏻♂️..loved the vid mate, missed the car reviews
I want to buy a automatic one as loke my license is automatically only...
Which one i should consider to buy?
1?
Mentioned I AM driving 40 minutes one way to work weekly.
terrible mpg, the 2.2 diesel does 64mpg, is the gearbox a cvt? sounds like a slipping clutch
Young drivers should buy a car they can’t afford 😐
@Haunt oh yeah I’m 18 I can definitely afford a civic at 10k 🙄
My advice for the younger folk.. Current market no matter what anyone tells you a car is MSRP. Lease the car. Good credit you can sign and drive. If not put the cash down. Extended the lease one year. (lower rate interest) , at the fifth year buy out the car. My 19 Civic with 35thousand miles is worth a few grand more than when I bought it .my 1.5t has no issues and I'm about to extend my lease in September. At any point things don't work out . Getting rid of a reliable gas efficient slightly used Honda will take no time.
@@unknownalias5538 bro I got a quote for my mk3 golf 3 odd grand, I’m thinking about just scraping it
@@User-pf6wg I had to trash my mk3 2.0 5 speed golf over a title issue. Then got the Honda . I would have preferred the vw, there so reliable and cheap to fix. All the engines are great that swap , given gas prices a tdi or 1.8t swap would be ideal and good tuning abilities. Scrap the cat converters to help fun the build . You do not want debt of a used car given the prices and parts availability now and years to come .
@@unknownalias5538 I’ve got a mk3 cabby 1.8 auto needs a engine because the last one had rod nock, bought it for £335 at the age of 15
Happy when my pcp ended on my 19 plate 1.0 cvt shitbox after 3 years thought if I'm gonna have a unreliable car may as well get one that's nice to drive and not on finance so got a e92 much happier with it .... so far 😅
I've heard the auto is crap
@@ryanh3285 yeah it’s a cvt big mistake
@@jayjay378378 I had an Audi 2.7 v6 tdi with a CVT and it was the smoothest car i ever had i didn't mind it it was very quick off the mark but made a weird noise. I think cvts make alot of sense in how the work but no one really likes them.
Hey Jamie just came across your video, really good info. I have a 2017, 1 litre auto in SR trim that we have reserved but not committed to.
We've had massive issues with our previous Skoda Fabia VRS 2011 and wanted peace of mind reliability wise.
Do you think it's still the right car to go for at 14.5k?
this is a late response, but no exaggeration here, this 1.0 engine is probably one of the most reliable there is on the market right now. It never ever has any issues. But did you end up buying it?
@@kayiobasaiyi2680 I think so as well, only downside is when it's due a wet belt change it's quite a labor intensive job. it's due either at 6 years or 75000 miles (which ever comes 1st) and costs £1599 from Honda, I'll be getting it done in next year along with a full service. I really like this car and I am tempted to get it remapped next year which takes it to 150 bhp / 200lb of torque.
@@kayiobasaiyi2680 Hey man I did actually, managed to find out for 14.5k one owner and 19k miles in that nice metallic blue that honda do.
So far really like the car and even though it's a 1 litre the sound of it is quite nice.
@@kayiobasaiyi2680 It really isn't owners are selling them because of issues and massive maintenance costs i would avoid the 1 litre at all costs
I see alot of these on auction sites with mechanical issues whats the main issues with them I'm presuming it's the fact that these lightweight 3 cylinder engines aren't very robust if its anything like the ford one I'd avoid it.
You don't want a 1.0L the engines aren't honda their ford. The the 1.5L are the best ones
Heard they burn oil
Pretty sure it's Honda engine in it and not a ford one
The 1.5L have bad reputation for burning oil
Not a Ford engine but I had issues with my 1.0 always burning oik and needs a oil change every 4k plus tonnes of other issues
@@joem8213 the best engine is 2.0l vtec
ok how much is replacment of cambelt in this engine?1000 pounds?
And the rest. It can be near £1600
Had one of these and the MPG is really poor for a 1.0 engine.
It's a Ford
The mpg is poor. You'll get better return with the 1.5
Indeed the mpg is a lot better in the 1.5l and its obviously faster so it seems like a no brainer
@@crazyforiegner2 definitely the better engine choice but why they didn't Do a trim like sportline beyond belief. I mean the ex is too chrome and sport the interior I don't think would stand test of time. I would rather the 1.5 engine. But certainly nothing wrong with the 1.0 VTEC it's certainly not a ford built engine so not sure where folk are getting that from
@@maverick9055 I quite like the sport 1.5. looks good on the interior and exterior is really nice
It is a great car
Personally I will buy a fiesta 1.0 ecoboost mabye st line
Same but they don't even come with basic kit such as front and rear parking sensors. So annoying when searching for used cars
Don't its known as ecoboom
1.0L petrol that sounds and delivers power like a diesel. The manual box is worse, ratios are close so always changing gear under 50mph. Fuel economy isn't great.
Much better to have the 1.5 4 pot with a manual.
The 1.6 diesel is a much better option, loads more torque and mpg.
My friend had one felt slow and the zf 9 speed box was jerky. Mpg terrible too only 33 around town
@@leemo432 My partner has a 6 speed manual, it's certainly not fast in anyway but easily returns over 50mpg around town and has plenty of low down torque.
I have a mk9 1.6 diesel great engine and 70mpg
You feel the weight lol of course you would. 😂
Poor MPG from a quality car.
Like 61 mpg on my last drive, I can go and take a picture if you want?
@@barryherron5351 is that with the auto 1.0 or 1.5?
Me who drives a 3.0l e53 X5: 😂
sound is crap
Your channel is finished the views dried up. Go back to your old style reviewing ek9s n that
Why???
Because you say so?
Pretty sure he doesn't care about your opinion...
@@marcbirchley2418 coward
The road noise is TERRIBLE on these new Civics! I used to be a big Honda Civic fan, having owned the Type R FN2 and other Civic variants (1.8 i-VTEC, 2.2 i-CTDI), but I ended up selling my Civic 1.5 Turbo (2018 model) due to the excessive road noise AND the car braking by itself which nearly caused a few accidents!
Toyota's are much much better in comfort and general build quality.
The earlier Honda's were good, but these new ones don't do it for me at all.
@@dejantodorovski5222Lol exactly
Toyota's are not better in confort and better built than Honda's but othervise.
It's dog muck 🤣
What a dumb comment how can a cvt be lazy to shift its a cvt with fake ratios simulating gear changes . God do your research first man it's never going to be as good as a zf or dsg box lol.
Can never drive a Honda, after the disgraceful redbull rigging at the Abu Dhabi 2021 F1 gp
Max did nothing wrong but he did not win that race Lewis did
