2010 Civic LX-S Manual Long Term Review - Peak Simplicity 

All - Apologies about the wavy and strange behavior of the footage in this video. Overall poor quality. The stabilization of the clips got real messed up and there was no way to correct it further post processing. This mistake will not happen again!

Don't sell yourself short man! This was right up there with Topher/Tedward content in my opinion. Looking forward to some future videos!

This is one small Hondas. Honda does not make cars like this anymore. I own a 1997 Del Sol Si with 220,000 miles ! It still runs great. I am an original owner!

8th gen are just wonderful cars. I had a brand new 2008 Civic SI for 3 years In 2015, I buyed another SI 2006 and had it for 5 years. Still miss that car Last spring, I sold my 2020 TLX A-Spec and had to wait almost 2 months for my new car My dad have a 2007 civic lx that he lent me Dropping from a 50k Acura to a 2k old 8th gen, it bring me so much memories from my 8th gen days The transmission is just great. Even cold, the car and the transmission are always the same No drama, just hop in and drive Simple car, efficiency I wish I could find one with no rust

8th gen ftw

the 8th gen civic is still far ahead of its time i wish i could buy an FD2 here in the US but that's a ways away id also love for you to review a Fit- similar level of engineering brilliance in a cheaper/smaller car

I'm loving this format. I'd love to see an unnarrated POV in a similar format on the 11th gen some time.

I have an 11th generation Sport Hatchback with the 6MT. But I still find videos on this car entertaining. Obviously I like your 11th generation content. Do you plan to ever tow your utility trailer with your 11th gen? Oddly enough, I think some towing videos would be highly entertaining. I also have a hitch on mine and pull a small 5X8 utility trailer with mine. Overall I like your channel content. Keep up the good work! And thank you for sharing.

Awesome! I have a 2012 Civic LX. Auto trans. 235k miles....only maintenance done was oil changes.

Love it. Really enjoyed the ride along. Design still looks crisp. Responsible maintenance. Bulletproof engine. Functional chassis upgrades. And no rice. Bravo. In terms of 1. NVH/refinement 2. Ride quality 3. Acceleration 4. Shifter feel 5. Handling 6. Overall fun factor, how does it compare to your new hatchback?

I miss my 2010 ex 2dr to this day! I looooved the steering feel, so balanced and sharp with summer Toyos. Sold it at 100k miles. Shoulda kept it.

Love the mugen rep wheels. Probs my fave wheel on 8th gens

I have an 2003 LX with a manual transmission and 230 000 miles (so a 7th gen, the previous model), and while I was driving admittedly way too fast on a deserted highway on a long road trip, the 4th cylinder decided it was time to leave and the car started throwing a flashing engine light at me. However the car still ran and drove and after trying to replace the coilpacks in a vain attempt at repair a local shop at the town I ended up in informed me that Cylinder no.4 was well and truly dead (no compression whatsoever). However I was still over 900 miles from home with a bunch of my stuff packed in the car. And the car still ran, despite idling very rough and having a general lack of power. So I decided to chance it home, and it ran all the way virtually nonstop (I needed a nap), at 70+ mph all the way except up hills, where the lack of power meant anything steeper than 5% slowed me to about 45 mph in 3rd gear. Hard to argue with a car that can still keep on kicking on 3/4ths of itself for over 900 miles of nonstop driving. Especially when it probably would have continued to function mostly normally (it burned oil) if I hadn't been pushing it trying to speed through the night. I will probably end up replacing the engine. Hopefully I can find a donor engine and someone willing to do the work.

This engine doesn’t sound bad in the high rpms at all! Very refined sound. You should hear some of the non-Honda 4-cylinder engines; they sound like they are screaming for their lives when revved out. Perhaps future videos like a walkaround and POV no talking drive on your 8th gen?

Love this car I wanna get one now to daily

Mine is 8th gen sport hatchback eu model 2007. Only had to change DPF once and wish it had input for bluetooth. I was thinking of buying a newer civic but your reviews and comparaison makes me think twice. If you have driven 8th gen diesel, how does the diesel compare to the petrol ? Love your objectivity and honest reviews. Sound quality is good though it doesn't really matter with your very good content

You should do more 8th gen vids!

I have a 2010 Honda civic. I still can't get used to the "ride". It now has 128000 miles on it, purchased ut about 80000.

Thanks for sharing this video. My 2010 is an exl coupe so I have leather seats and the "premium" stereo but other than that it's basically the same as yours. I've changed the clutch fluid once and the transmission fluid twice and it still shifts like butter. After owning it for 6 years I still really enjoy driving it and detailing it, which I did yesterday. Totally agree about the the leather wheel and dash layout, I also like the heads up speedo and gauges. I also tow with mine, a utility trailer and a fibreglass teardrop camper that weighs 600 lbs so I like having an actual temperature gauge. I really dislike that the new civics omit the heat gauge. Do you plan on keeping this car or will you install a hitch on the new civic? I have lots of garage space now so I'm keeping mine, until one of my kids needs a car, and learns to drive manual, lol!

Hello excellent video , I just got a Honda Civic 2010 with 97k miles , and I like it very much , my Civic is automatic . Is there anything that I have to learn or know about this auto ? Thanks for this video

I'm from Europe (Portugal) and I have a 2009 civic fd1 since 2021, with the r18 engine and 90000km... I hope it lasts a long time, I don't plan on selling it

I have an ‘06 EX with an AT. Love it, and still runs great and looks great after 190K miles. Obviously it doesn’t have a ton of power, but definitely gets the job done for commuting. How did you know yours needed a valve adjustment and did you follow a guide to do the adjustment yourself?

New Civic does not shift so smoothly at all. Need to be very precise to get into gear😢. And speeds are not aligned in a straight line, when shifting 1-2, 3-4, 5-6.

My 2008 has been parked for two weeks waiting on an axle, really missing the drive

Honda should of stuck with the FD2, and s2000 pedals for all their sport models.

I own the same car, a 2009 model, manual trans with so called full-option of that time, and I must say its a gem of a machine, although recelty I have got into a problem, the engine got overheated due to bad radiator, now its fixed, but it misfires during start-up for like 20mins, no matter what I do, drive or not but it will take 20mins, I have changed the coils, plugs etc but this problem remains. any ideas on what might be the issue?

Do you know if these manuals have vtec or is that only with autos?

How much would you sell this car for?
