The car might be the "gold-standard", but its price is ridiculously eye-popping!
Gold is expensive of course lol
Brilliant response.
Buy a used civic and a few ounces of gold! 💡
While I agree, it seems that every car nowadays is expensive! I still rather pay a bit more for a Honda than buy a Kia or Hyundai.
I bought Honda Civic 2024 sport sedan 4 days ago: squeaky sound right front side suspension, low tire pressure front left. After snow last night cruise control doesn't work until snow melted.
Brand new car!?!
Not worth that much for sure
I had a 10th gen hatch that was trouble free for 3 years. No reason to be delusional about the oil dilution problem. I had no issues with this well documented problem. I moved to a 2024 EX-L hatch four months ago. I love this generation a bit more; it’s more refined and as another reviewer said, if you’re over 50 you won’t be embarrassed to drive it. Only regret is that I could have paid less if I had waited until now to buy. Honda dealers here in Iowa have good inventory and are discounting some models including the Civic. I agree on the seats. I found these seats to be very comfortable on an all day road trip. Much better than the previous gen. Great review as always. You’re the best out there!
I really enjoy the tests of the normal regular cars! Other people on CZcams only concentrate on the super/dream cars, special one offs, but my interest in cars is full spectrum. I like to hear about cars I can NEVER afford, but that doesn't help me in real life. Please keep it going!
One of the best small sedans on the planet. Looks fantastic in Aegan blue or the Raylee red.
Broadcasting School served both of you very well. Even with an inferior mic, you still sound very professional. Happy Driving!
I have an 11 year old Ridgeline that suits my needs, my wife has had an Odyssey and now a 2024 CR-V.
My kids have all had Civics and one has recently purchased an Accord, my brother in law has had a number of Pilots.
One thing we all agree on is that they are a little pricey up front but provide a healthy return when sold privately.
Honda are one of the biggest engine manufacturers in the world, cars, robots, motorbikes, sewing machines, jet engines, ATV's, lawn mowers etc reliability wise they are a prudent investment.
Dude I'd love a Ridgeline. So jelly
I still have last years model and love it. It was also made in Canada! They did a really good job. 🎉
Have friends that were a lifetime Honda family. Replaced their CRV, with a new one, it had the oil dilution issue and Honda basically said too bad. They traded it after 2 years and bought a RAV4, now a Toyota family.
Toyota Lexus really are the only brand left that are good. But even Toyota will succumb to greed and quality will eventually plummet 😢
@@tvted6160 I have a 2020 NX and indeed the interior trim has cheapened quite a bit. Bigger screens are nice but overall I prefer my 2020. Stopped buying Honda's long ago , too much cost cutting and less reliability than Toyota.
Cool story
91 civic, 96 integra, 01 prelude, 15 RDX, 24 4Runner. I still keep prelude and RDX. But I am so disappointed at Honda in recent 10 years. Where is the excitement and value they used to offer? Now I am in Toyota camp.
I would go with Toyota as well. The Honda oil dilution issue is still a problem.
Nice model, finally doesn’t look like a toy. Compact cars are going to make a comeback, I hope. 🤞🏼
It literally looks like a big cute toy
@@angelasmr8818 well, toys are supposed to be fun and eye catching. Doesn't all the expensive Ferraris Lambos, etc. look like toys? Now that entry level models are starting to look fancier and fancier, we get to get nicer cars for fairer prices than those reserved for the rich.
But, I prefer the aggressive styling better. It's still a nice car, but it looks like it should be an Accord, not a Civic.
You guys work very hard. Cant keep up with all these content. Kudos!
I love this Civic! I still own my 2012 and it runs perfectly! We also just purchased a 2024 CRV hybrid and the same day my sister purchased a 2024 Civic! Honda family for life!
I love the 2012 Civic.
Yes, Honda pre-newtechwhizbangery was pretty solid.
I just upgraded from my 2012 to a 2013......WOW! I was in love with the 12, but I am head over heels for the 13~ what an upgrade they did that year! Amazing car! 250k and not one issue, smooth as silk.
Just had my 2018 CR-V with the 1.5T blow the head gasket at 90,000 kms. Every service performed at the right times… observed the break-in period at the start religiously. I was told by my dealer that they are seeing more and more 1.5T’s coming in with the same issue… the engines are a ticking time bomb. I’ll never drive a car with that engine again. Caveat emptor.
That failure is common now as there is a flaw on the design of these engines
Tiny turbo'd engines to save a little gas, sacrifice reliability…
If all these green people actually wanted to save the planet they’d make companies build stuff that lasts forever instead of crap that dies and needs to be replaced sooner.
I would NEVER purchase a Honda over a Toyota, had one not interested in another Honda
@@richarddecicco3288 What turned you off them?
My son loves the 2017 Civic LX we gifted him in 2020.....solid build quality and reliable for sure. We've learned to trust Honda reliability. My wife's 2007 CRV and my 2012 TSX Wagon are both vault solid, and basically drive like new. Both the new gen. Accord and Civic are appealing designs. Thanks for your easy-to-watch reviews!
That Civic looks a hella lot better than my 2012 Honda EX, which I still own and drive.
Most uncomfortable car seats ever devised or less than accurate?
That's fair cause the 2012 is the worst Civic model year. It performed so bad that Honda did an emergency refresh for 2013 after just 1 year on the market.
@@Lucky8s I lost the engine, clutch, trans in a 12 with only 180k on it. Upgraded to a 2013 EX and man....what an upgrade! They sure killed the changes in the models. My 2013 has 250k, not one issue and smoooooooth! Love it.
The lack of a heated steering wheel in the US baffles me. I live in North Dakota, farther north and in a colder climate than half of Canadians do.
Ikr. It's like cars are designed for the US market for ppl who live south of Cincinnati.
Omg...lol. I do not miss living in ND. I was stationed at GF AFB for 6yrs. Days of negative 17*F without the windchill. "Where hell freezes over".
Put some gloves on, problem solved, sugar britches.
because 5 people live in north dakota
@@AS-sn5gfI only know 4. Will need to let me know where the 5th lives.
I love to see you reviewing economy cars/SUVs. I believe that most of us live in that space.
Love my ‘23 Civic Touring in Rally Red. Very comfortable, handling is excellent and looks sharp. Don’t miss having adjustable lumbar. Wish it had a heated steering wheel.
Love your back and forth in descriptions, and how respectful you both are. My issue is the sensors in the exterior. I pulled into a parking space and it had a very high parking bumper and damaged my front end. The sensors did not warn me as I expected. So please always test sensors all around the car; particularly parking and pulling in and out of very tight places. Roger of Orlando, Fla.
So the oil gas dilution problem hasn’t really been solved. So while Honda is saying it’s not an issue unless you live in a cold climate, that’s a red flag for me.
I work part-time at a dealership chain driving a shuttle. The Civic with the 1.5 turbo isn't nearly as bad reliability wise as the Accord with that engine, but they are still blowing head gaskets frequently. There's something really wrong with the 1.5T design. Stick with the standard NA 2.0.
The headbolt design isn't strong enough to maintain clamping pressure apparently? Plus, 180bhp from a 1.5l engine is a lot of internal cylinder pressure for 87 octane, it must be leaning heavily on the anti-knock engine management. I really wish they had kept the old K24 for this application, same real-world power level, proven design, much less complex.
Wow, the oil dilution and now head gaskets? I feel like I might as well get another Elantra and save a few grand.
Looks great and a bunch of great features. However we can ignore the elephant on the room. The realibity issues with honda's 1.5t engine cannot be ignored. Lots of head gasket failures.
@@palebeachbumTechnically not the head gasket, but the bolts holding the heads in aren't beefy enough, so they stretch/deform over time from the combustion pressure, leading to head gasket failure. It might possibly be like the Subaru EJ25 situation... something that doesn't get you in the short run but something that you will have to deal with eventually.
@@stuntmonkey00 So it's not the head gasket but the bolts lead to head gasket failure... But it's not the head gasket
Nice. I have the 10th Gen FC 2018, never had issues.
Love the Car videos! & Love Honda! Great vehicles!
Awesome video Andrea and Zack! My 2020 civic lease will be up in November, so not sure I'll keep mine or upgrade or go completely new with car from another make
I almost bought one until I found out the one I wanted was 32k. No way I could justify that ridiculous price for a compact car. I bout my Mazda CX 5 for the same price and I love it
Civic is a great car and one of the top choices in its class. However, it is really expensive now especially the top trim. Its insurance premium is also eye openingly expensive compare to let say Mazda 3, like double the price! Keep this in mind.
I just bought this car and cross shopped with the Mazda 3 the Mazda insurance was actually higher than the Civic for me!!
The best vehicle for insurance is the Corolla. Mazda 3 and Civics sadly are now popular to teens as race ricers so with that raises the insurance premiums due to those demographics alone
I’m leaning towards the Mazda 3 and checked with my insurance company. I currently have an older Toyota Prius. The premium would go up by less then $300 annually. Doesn’t seem too bad. I guess it depends on where you live. I’m in Southern California. ✌🏻
In my country you can Buy a top trim Mazda 3 for less that the entry version of the Civic.
I would lose Bose audio system, a More powerful Engine, a proper automatic transmision, wireless apple carplay and android auto, a bigger 10 inch display, leather seats, electronic seat adjustment, a sunroof and More features just for going Civic over a top trim Mazda 3.
The Civic Is DEFINITELY More expensive than It should be. At least in my country.
You two are awesome. Very very well done
Now that most of these1.5T are coming out of warranty, there's a high failure of headgasket due to thin headbolts
Not only that, the oil dilution issue hasn't really been completely fixed.
No they aren’t. It’s just you see two people on the internet and you just assume that.
@@goodrobbyyou can’t fix what was never actually an issue to begin with. Literally EVERY SINGLE direct injection engine will be dealing with the same thing if you take 2 second drives in 0 degree weather.
Its been an amazing car in its class since it was first launched. Much bigger now but still fantastic.
Hello-
I do like the new look for the Civic for all ages
Thanks for sharing.
Good ... as a 65 years old dinosaur myself, at least my car will look like it belongs in the 21st century. 🤣
Great Review as Usual Thanks - : )
Regarding the lumbar support in car seats, they are necessary and they're great when they work but my last car was a Camry XLE and my present car is an Accord EX. Both had the inflatable lumbar support and both only worked for about a year.
I’m a huge Honda Civic fan… always have been. I haven’t been impressed with every single model or with every generation, but that doesn’t diminish my envisaging it’s potential. Although I’ve owned a CRX Si, my personal favourite Civic will forever remain to be … the base Civic 2-door hatchback manual (3-door?). Although hardly fancy or even fast, I have always found them to be an extremely practical, simple, very inexpensive to run/maintain and were incredibly well priced… all whilst being fun to drive. These newer Civics have sorta lost that ‘magic formula’, especially when it comes to size, options/equipment and PRICE. I still believe them to be great (most highly recommendable) cars, but I continue to wish that they … or anyone could, replicate those simple core values of offering a top tier economy motorcar at a price anyone (even youthful part-timers) could afford… that was FUN to drive. Perhaps I, especially as of late, should get used to abandoning that Dream. Thanks for the video.
Civics are cool. I like the outgoing generation best. My father had an '07. I drive a '15 CR-Z right now. Good car. I know people, and some of the purists don't like it, but it serves my needs, and I think it looks great. I've never driven a CR-X, so I can't compare the two as far as experience goes. I know one criticism was that it doesn't capture the spirit of the original, but I wouldn't know.
But as far as the new Civics, they do look nice, but I think they look more like an Accord than a Civic.
I watched several videos on those compact cars and one on the Hyundai. I drove 3 of them. Not kidding, it took 3 months. Finally I found a Honda dealer willing to sell me a Civic at MSRP. You don't want to know how many videos I had to watch to build a little skill and confidence. I paid nothing extra except $85 Doc fees.
It helped My Dealership has built a bit of a rep for Fair Trade. They have only been open a few years. Maybe that's why.
Same here! I just got the Civic EX for $27k , $29k total OTD with taxes and my city transit fee.
Can you guys test the Honda civic hatch Sport with the basic engine 2.0 with the manual transmission . Your guys are great.
I had a 2017 civic with the refrigerant condenser issue where the AC broke 3 times in 4 years. Just last summer the AC broke again and they claimed it wasn’t the condenser therefore I would need to pay to fix it. I decided it wasn’t worth the money to invest to fix the AC as clearly it’s not a reliable system so after owning 4 Hondas (2CRV, 2Civics) I’ve now switched to Toyota. Trade in value was unreal though on the civic.
I’m in love with this car🔥
I'm checking in late but can now sit back and enjoy 🎉
Thanks for watching!
@@andreaspencer9813 Always a pleasure!
I'm from California. Can't wait for civic hybrid. Not into full ev
How about a video comparing a regular gas version vs a hybrid of the same vehicle. Price difference and how long it would take to get e return on investment for the premium paid for the hybrid. Nice work both of you, your Hyundai battery video got me second guessing buying a EV. I'm focusing on a hybrid now to drive for the next 10-12 yrs
I bought one for my daughter in Dec 2023 (Touring), I did not know Civic come in Hybrid, otherwise I would have waited for Hybrid.
it doesn't come yet - on 2025
Can you imagine how many years the Honda Civic has been Canada's best selling vehicle? Some Canadians have a Honda Civic as their first car.
I thought the Corolla beat out the Civic in sales numbers for the past two years? Maybe that was a US stat or something though. Obviously still a very popular choice though!
@@obhatti No, you're correct. The Corolla has been the best seller for the past two years in Canada, which is just about the time Honda bumped up their "Honda tax" and significantly upped the price. Probably not a coincidence.
@@randisney6151 not really back in 2021-2022 Honda had big parts shortages and production issues and couldn’t build enough. For a while you couldn’t find Civics in dealers lots there was a 6-8 month wait meanwhile at Toyota you could find Corollas much easier
@@obhattiToyota is purposely keeping Corolla production very low
@@obhattiimpossible to buy new Corolla - one has to wait months to get anew Corolla in Vancouver.
Nice review guys. This appear to be the size of an early 2000s Honda Accord.
Exterior dimensions of this car matches the CD5 Accord from the early 90s
I enjoy your reviews. My favorite part? When you get behind the wheel and take off. Weeeee! ;)
I have a 2023 Civic Hatch Sport Touring. I love it. My two wishes is that the seats were more comfortable and that the hatch was powered (especially so I could open it from inside the car). I live in Florida so the sun heats my steering wheel for me.
Civic is such a successful car. It only needs to update its mechanical bits, while leaving its design evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
Is the suspension in the civic any better? I found in the past that they were often harsh and bumpy on roads in poor condition.
Great review! That fuel dilution issue is one disadvantage of all direct injection engines since gas is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber. When it runs cold, you’ll get more fuel atomization (unburned fuel mist) that gets into the engine oil, and when there’s too much gasoline in the engine oil over time (say a few months or several thousand kms), the oil viscosity will get thinner and not be able to protect the engine as well. What doesn’t help is Honda (and most OEMs today) specs a very thin engine oil to begin with, a 0W20, along with recommending an oil change interval that is way too long in light of tough operation conditions like excessive idling when getting coffee, more traffic jams, and short trips due to work from home.
The best solution for durability is to change the engine oil more often than what the owner’s manual says. Aim for every 3 months or 5,000 to 6,000km with a good brand engine oil like the old days, and especially in winter, take the car on a highway run for at least 10 minutes once a week. 👌🏻
How about the Hornet 2.0 liter (ICE) version. Waiting to hear your review before buying.
Nice car! I like it! It doesn’t have to be a leather seats, cloth will do nicely. 3 years warranty is not good enough compare Hyundai has 5 years warranty. Only one thing I rather see a bigger touchscreen and a bit lower into the dashboard. Great show Andrea! ☕️☕️
Hyundai needs the longer warranty. Its junk
When will Honda recognize and fix the sticky steering wheel issue in the 2022-2024 civic and Integra ? I bought a 23 civic touring and at 10,000km I had to have the steering rack replaced.
Dealer never mentioned it
#1 good job guys
In the market for a hybrid, can't wait for the Civic hybrid to compare to Corolla hybrid. Currently driving a 2001 Honda CRV - getting a average of 10L/100km. Very low maintenance - 2 oil changes a year. 295000 km. My in-laws bought a 2024 CRV Hybrid and it's very quiet, they paid a premium though, very pricey.
I like the Civic. And for sure I like the price so much! Unlike here in Singapura, I don't know when I can afford to own one. Lucky you guys there
Can't wait for your review of the Civic Hybrid when it becomes available. That's the car I have my eye on.
Hey Zack & Andrea, can you ask Honda to come back to the Toronto Auto Show? I was disappointed that they (and Acura) wasn’t there.
Hi,
What do you think for first car buyers.
Which one should I buy?
Also, from Toyota Crown Hybrid and Corolla hybrid. Which is best for first buyer?
Or any other brand you would recommend for hybrid
Great informative video. Not sure if the premium price is worth it unless you factor in resale value.
I have been driving accord 2004 for 16 years, just when it reached 138K mileage on the car, my accord started to burn oil, since then I have put 210K on it up until Feb 2024, it still burns oil. Every 1000k driving, I must put 1 liter of engine oil.
My daughter drives a Civic 2024 (Touring), I hope I won't run into same issue with Civic.
Can't wait for the Civic hybrid!
Minnesota says thanks!
I liked the older endings with the two of you standing outside the car summarizing it and usually resulting in a terrible Zork joke.
My only setback on this car, is that car is much lower to ground, as a result when you are driving on speed-bump one must extra slow, otherwise the bottom to be scratch, which I already did.
Have a 2022 EX, started having steering issues a few months after buying it. Still waiting for it to be fixed. First warm weather of 2023 discovered there ac didn't work anymore, lost the refrigerant. They couldn't find the leak and recharged it.
Looks like a smaller Accord. I like it 👍
I almost bought a 2023 Honda Civic Touring but the delivery times were so slow back then and the features didn’t attract me as much. Still love the car but I now own a 2023 Hyundai Elantra Nline ultimate that looks pretty good, 1.6 L turbo, 7 speed DCT, 201 HP 195 lb torque has good interior design and technology . I’ve had it for about 6 months and its drives rly well and my insurance cost isn’t that high. We still have a 2013 Honda CRV but will have to see the reliability for my Elantra in the coming yrs
Amazing car with not so amazing price. They wonder why their competitors do better nowadays
“Didn’t get back to us “ about time someone addressed Honda Canadas awful corporate practices!!
I had a 2022 Honda Civic Sport for roughly a year and a half. Although I know new generations can have their kinks, the amount of issues I had with the car was astronomical. My local dealership and Honda Canada were useless the majority of the time in helping me solve the issues with their product. I wanted to try something else other than Toyota and I went back after a year and a half. Beautiful car but it definitely wasn't worth it towards the end.
What kind of problems did you run into?
Waiting what you think on the 2024 Tesla model 3 refresh
Looking forward to the Hybrid showing up, finally after decades of dismal to meh hybrids Honda has a fleet of great ones. Wish the Fit was still offered in NA, it would be the most expensive economy sub compact for sale, but it would also be the undisputed king of the segment. [edit] The last Insight was good, but I never see them, and I don't think many people know or care it exists.
Thank you for reviewing cars the working family can afford...pricing of one up from base model brings Camry SE into comparison...
This is why lower trims exist for a reason and they offer best value for your money
Is really interesting how perspectives can be so different. Here in Brazil the Civic is treated as a mid size premium vehicle and is sold near as much as a BMW 320i
Really, thats interesting.
Driven Honda/Acura products for 30 yrs. Yep, I like them. Getting ready to trade and wondered about entrance/exit and seat height for someone in late 60's. Excited about the hybrid and wish Honda would say something about hybrid HR-V.
The Civic seating is low getting in it.
thanks for the feedback!@@ms.b9093
Yes, I owned the 2022 sport touring hatchback but I had to sell it to pay for my dog medical bills. I’ll get another one someday though, I hope.😂
We only get the 2L Atkinson, two electric motor, hybrid version.
No CVT anymore, actualy an electric car with petrol engine working as a generator.
The 2024 civic is priced over a Corolla, closer to the Camry SE. I bought the Camry. 203hp 8 speed IRS and 5.2L/100 on the highway.
exactly
I've narrowed my next car down to the Civic or the Corolla; reliability is important to me. Aside from the price premium, the thing that disappoints me about Honda is they seem to nickel and dime more when it comes to features. Wired Apple Car Play in 2024? And you have to go all the way up to the top Touring trim just to get some of the very basic safety features like rear cross traffic alert.
Don't get the 1.5T
Randisney6151 you are better off with a Corolla but also you don’t need top trim, and also you mentioned that you find wired Apple CarPlay and android auto as ancient, that’s another problem. Most of the reviewers review the top trims because that’s what the car brands will give them. A smart shopper normally will get a trim above the base model because most of the comfort creature features are already there that one uses everyday. This applies to most brands and also consider tire sizes before purchase. Myself I got a 2020 Corolla LE that I have owned since 2020. One feature for instance that I don’t use is lane keep assist. The feature is pretty much useless during the winter months when the roads are covered with snow and all you need is heated seats. I know some people may want heated seats but personally that’s something I can love without. Also too many electronics in a vehicle mean more problems down the road long term. Keep that in mind. You can get the top trim Honda if you really want it but honestly lower trims can give you what you need and use… not want.
I grew up in a cold climate & never once thought my steering wheel was too cold. What a gimmick.
I noticed on a European review of the Civic hybrid that there were rear seat air vents. I hope they start bringing those to North America.
I got the 2024 Civic Sedan Touring less then 3months ago (It’s a super HQ vehicle on every possible level i’d stack it against a BMW or Mercedes Benz (When you switch it to Sport it’s insanely fast, The audio system is fantastic Bose surround sound speakers that are Theater quality sound on every level (The car may be a bit pricey but, it may be the gold standard for Sedans!
I've never had or wanted a heated steering wheel, and live in South Dakota which gets quite cold
It's a decent car and a good choice in the segment, but it is pricey and there have been some issues with them. If I were buying in this segment, I'd buy the Corolla Hybrid. The top trim is about $1300 more, but is AWD, gets incredible fuel economy (some US users have experienced 60+ mpg with relative ease) and is the most reliable vehicle made.
Interesting discussion on Honda's pricing. You can certainly make an argument say that a Corolla or Sentra is a better value. But I really like the driving dynamics of the Civic. The exterior appearance and interior style and functionality is a bonus. For me it's a no-brainer. YMMV
Nice car, but I’m really leaning towards the Mazda 3 sedan. I like the looks better and the way it handles. I test drove one yesterday and it’s a beautiful car. Great upscale interior too. ✌🏻✌🏻
Plus, it is cheaper than the civic. And i can bet mazdas 2.5 NA engine is way more reliable than these new 1.5Turbo civic engines. The 2.5L NA from mazda has been proven to be really reliable for several years by now. These new civic engines have a surprisingly high number of failure reports.
@@tacipotti7289 👍🏻👍🏻
I am surprised you didn’t compare the Civic to the Mazda 3?
Why civic and accord canot have awd ?
What are good senior cars ?
Too many issues with the latest Honda's rolling out the factory. My friend JUST got his 2023 Civic hatch Sport Touring back after a month sitting at the dealership, waiting for whatever part to replace in the power steering rack to correct the manufacturing issue that made the steering freeze in mid-turn at high speeds. He didn't even have the car a full 6 months before it the issue started. For that ridiculous (over) price, I'd rather look elsewhere.
There is no way i would buy the 1.5 Turbo. It's not just oil dilution, it's also blown head gaskets. I have a 2016 EX 2.0 L and the only issue is the A/C/. I plan on upgrading to a 2025 Hybrid hatch.
Comfortable seats are a big deal for me, I wish Honda did just a little better with theirs given how nice their interiors are. You’re right about Ford’s seats - even on the lower end models they are quite comfortable!
Why you didn’t include the Mazda 3 in the comparison?
We only have four spots, we went with these ones.
In Russia Lada vesta 1.6 l 106 hp, with no abs and airbags with problems in electronics, working time to time turning signals if temperature less -15 Celsius. But with keyless start engine system which sometimes doesn’t start engine. Cost 18.5 k usd.
The Honda of today isn’t the Honda of the past.
Sleeping of prices skyrocketing, I've noticed the prices quote on this video and the Jetta video are $3-5 lower than the actual new car prices are in Toronto.
While the price is always a concern. I like you should always try to anticipate 5 year depreciation. Not only is that civic going to probably be trouble free but also also be worth substantially more as compared to some of the others cars in class.
Resale value is a big one!
@andreaspencer9813 You should mention that in your reviews. As any Mercedes Benz buyer will attest how their resale is affected after they go out out warranty. We have a 2017 Honda CR-V Touring that we paid $35K in December of 2016 now with only 80K miles and in excellent condition, its still worth $20K private party $15K Depreciation. A 2017 MB GLC 4matic with similar mileage, condition and equipment was around $48K. Nicer vehicle to be sure but now worth around 16K for a $32 hit. A Quick Look at a Ford Escape Titanium. Retail for $33K now worth $13K. The point is that purchasing a vehicle, depreciation has to be considered as a part of total cost of ownership. While Hondas and Toyotas due cost more in all most every instance you'll be much farther ahead. FWIW a Toyota RAV 4 Platinum Sport was about $37K and now worth around 19K
From what I've read, the 2.0L is the engine to get. It's more reliable. In the U.S. the Civic hatchback has essentially the same $26k base price as the HRV, which is based on the Civic, but offers more room. I can't fathom why the Civic starting price is so high.
Wired Apple Car Play? What’s wrong with Honda this year?
Here in the UK it is only hybrid. Don't know why you guys have to wait. Maybe it's a different specification.
I want the 24 touring but I don’t want that 1.5 turbo. Wish they had a touring trim with the more reliable 2.0L
i heard complaints from my Asia friends saying alot of recent years Toyota cars have water leaks to their engine compartment. I am wondering if you guys can look into that issue and see if there is water/rain leaking issue in US/Canada Toyota cars.
Not mine, I got a 2020 Corolla myself
@imba734 yea think i found a bunch of videos from Asia this year and last year saying alot of recent years toyota cars have total possible 5 water/rain leaks spots to engine compartment. There is drama going on in Asia toyota cars now it seems.
