For my fellow Americans, this is 155k in freedom units. Pretty remarkable for a low displacement turbo GDI engine to hit this mark with nothing major. Volkswagen would never.
@@jimby_vokk3110 One single car isn't much of a reliability survey. VW products *typically* require much more in the way of maintenance and repair costs than Hondas (or Toyotas). Most VW owners would admit this, even though they love other aspects of their cars.
Back in 2005 I had a type R ,loved it but I think the 1.5 turbo as come on to a level worth buying now, I pick up my used one on an 18 plate in black next week from my Honda dealership, yes you pay a bit more but it gets all the relevant check's for peace of mind! Here in the UK the manual 6 speed box is the one to have. Thank you for your review on the longevity of this highly dependable car.
My first car was my fathers old Honda Accord 2.0-16 MY 1988. It had already 300 000 km on the clock. My dad took it to mechanic to chance brakes, tires, shocks, springs etc. before he gave it to me. I drove 200 000 with it and only thing I had to do was fill it up and change the oil now and then. Hondas are brilliantly reliable cars. I’m probably buying Civic as my next car.
Honestly never doubted Honda's engineers and hopefully i never will. My 2017 EXT civic has 62k miles and works as great as when i first got it. No mechanical issues. The only issues I had was when it hit 45k the touch screen stopped working and the dealer replaced the screen. I probably could only put faith in Honda and Toyota engineers to make reliable turbo charged engines. My friend had problems with turbo engines on Chevy's twice already. On a cruze and new Silverado.
If it's turbo, it's needs premium. You'll end up having ,head gasket /fuel injector issue. Use premium, I'm at 195,000 miles , been using premium, Amsoil s.s.0w-20. On the original spark plugs, 41Hwy, 26 city. Great car
Just bought one of these used with 33k km on the clock. Will get it thoroughly checked at a Honda shop once I get it, but the test drive immediately persuaded me. What a nice car indeed, can’t wait to pick it up!
Thanks for making the video! I have a '21 Sport and have been concerned about oil dilution issues so am changing oil every 5K miles (7500K). Glad to see one with higher miles. My older Civic has 165K miles and is still going strong for my teenager.
hey man, hows the civic holding up? i'm planning on buying a 1.5l sport civic from 2020. but indd the oil dilution kinda scares me off the more i search about it
I have a 2017 Civic EXL coupe in Flame red with 84,000 miles on it or 135,000K. Runs like new, drives like new. I expect I will get to 250,000 miles with little mechanical issues. After all, it's a Honda. I've had two 1991 CRX coupes before. One was a daily driver. Put 240,000 miles on it and it still ran like new until I sold it.
My 2000 Honda Civic DX Coupe just turned 250,000 not one single mechanical issue ever, put a new timing belt in it at 150,000 and that was it. That Car never broke down on me.
@@rexandninja He does say he favors Honda engines but he rags up and down about not buying a small engine w/turbo. His rationale is that all that pressure delivered by the turbo on a itty bitty engine will wear it out long before an NA engine. I think he's off there, taken care of I think anyone can get long engine life, as shown here.
@@rusack7174 time will tell. The bar is set pretty high by 20-30 yr old Hondas/yotas still going with 300-400k miles on them. That is the benchmark these turbos are up against…they haven’t proven anything yet (these powertrain as are like 5 yrs old now?).
I just hit 100k on my 2018 lx with the 2.0 and I have not had a single issue. Obviously standard maintenance like oil changes and filters and such, but nothing more than that! I love my car so much.
I have a 2019 Civic EX and I often get over 50 mpg if I coast, travel downhill a lot, or drive on a level road at a reduced speed. I ALWAYS avoid using the turbo unless absolutely necessary. Today, driving in the country, I was getting slightly over 54 mph! Get 30 mpg in the city too. Yeah, that’s hybrid/diesel type mileage! No exaggeration! Routinely get well over 40 on the highway at speeds between 50 to 65 mph. All this super mileage in regular OR econ mode and 87 octane (regular) gas. Now running the AC does reduce the mpg ever so slightly but compared to the 350 cubic inch V8 Impala I drove back in the early 1970s (before and during the first oil crisis), this reduction isn’t even worth mentioning! I understand the Toyota Corollas can get great mileage if driven in a reasonable fashion too.
Well just a small error in your statement, I own a 1.5 civic myself and the turbo is running regardless if you drive it in Sports mode or not I mean this goes to most turbo charged engines regardless of car make/model 🌚, you can’t “not use the turbo “, you can use less turbo boost yes!! But just because you drive on D not sport doesn’t mean you don’t use turbo 😂🌚
@@partypooper6982 You’re absolutely right! Since I originally authored my comment, I’ve been using the dash gauge that graphically represents turbo use and it clearly shows the turbo to be active even under very modest acceleration. Still, to achieve the favorable mpg mentioned earlier, I “minimize” turbo use as much as possible through gentle acceleration.
2017 Honda civic si here 109,000km Original break pads and rotors and the dealer has there not even half worn. Never had to replace anything just regular maintenance schedule that Honda recommends The inner tire wear is a issue But adjustable camber arms in the rear can help 0 out the camber and not have any negative camber To me these cars are the best bang for buck car and performance and I’d buy again and again
I have a 19 SI currently with 122500 miles on it. (~200,000k) Only had issues with the wiring on the VCS system. Honda used an olive oil wire in this generation of Civics so the turbo wires and VCS system wires are susceptible to rodents. Basic maintenance and a few upgrades for extra horsepower and quantity. (Tune, upgraded clutch, coil packs, intercooler, gearbox bushings, exhaust and a new shifter boot.) Runs better than the day I drove it off the lot. Expecting to get another 150k miles out of it. Honda for the win.
@@simond7564 ok. I wonder if those coils are any good? I live in the city where MSD is based and where things were manufactured before but they moved it to Mexico. I know coils are important but MSD also did multi-sparks for "complete combustion". I am installing new spark plugs and trying NGK Ruthenium plugs. They are the newest thing. I am adding the little air intake hose from PRL but have not decided on an intercooler. I want to try a new front pipe and maybe modify my downpipe to open the collector to 2.5 from 2.0 inch and insert a HJS catalyst.
Bought my 2018 Civic EX-T sedan new on June 2018. To date, Aug 8 2021, I have 82,000 miles (60% highway miles). Replaced all brake pads, tires, cut rotors, and replaced brake fluid once. I rotate the tires every 10,000 miles. I changed the transmission fluid twice and flushed the coolant once. I’m extra vigilant about the turbo so I only use top-tier fuel (Shell 93 Octane for the extra detergent to mitigate carbon deposits) and I change the oil every 3,800-4,200 miles. I change the engine air filter every 15,000 miles. I also replaced the spark plugs early at 67,000. That’s it. The car has given me no trouble. This tenth gen Civic is by far the best Civic ever made. I hope to keep it for over 250,000 as I do not plan to get the latest 11th gen model (not a fan of the 11th gen).
@@kdotldotsdot3430 Subjectively: the exterior looks like an Accord. If I wanted an Accord, I would buy an Accord. It lacks distinction and It’s too generic for my taste. Objectively: one less USB port from the 10th gen. Smaller trunk space. Smaller glove compartment. No more extra large cup holder in the armrest. No side view camera (I love the side view camera over the blind spot monitoring as I can keep an eye out for fast moving vehicles to my right long before the monitoring system kicks on (Saved me at least a half-dozen times). As for the infotainment display, it prevents anyone from mounting a smartphone/camera to the dashboard and the new “prettier” honeycomb vents prevent clip-on mounts as well. The only option is to stick a mount onto the windshield.
@@txmoney Where did you mount your phone exactly? I need a better place to mount mine. I think you are keeping your car up well. The newest Civic does all the sounds better and seems to have the engine mounted better. Far less road noise. Perfect engine sounds. The Hatch looks keen. I did not buy my car for looks and would never buy a car for looks. That said the new one is pricier. Honda will make a killing and take cash to develop electric and hybrid. I an disappointed that at 29k the new Civic still has no new energy/hybrid technology incorporated. Note how many more hybrids Toyota sells and how hybrid can be in any of their vehicles and notice Toyota stock value is 5x Hondas. Honda is stupidly cheap for some reason. They are cheap on tech and cheap on warranty service. Checkskates
@@jamesmedina2062 I mount the smartphone attachment on top of the dash just left of the infotainment. It’s easily reachable by the driver. Unfortunately, the 11th gen Civic prevents dash mounting or even vent clipping of the smartphone attachment due to the infotainment tablet jutting out over the dash and the honeycomb vents lacking clip on accessibility. You could mount the attachment by suction onto the windshield but that’s too unsightly for my taste. I hear that the 11th gen was designed by Honda America designers and they sacrificed function for form. Hopefully, the 12th gen Honda will return to Japanese design as it seems the Americans designers are more interested in “pretty” design over useful design.
Do you know if any of your comments about the car are relatable to the civic si? Same engine just slightly higher boost I think, wondering if the turbo solenoid on the si is also worth replacing early on. Great video, high mileage reviews are underrated and definitely needed.
as long as it stays stock you wont have issues, mine a 2018 manual hatchback with the 1.5t is over 120k, 70k tuned fbo and all the fun stuff. Rebuilt the head last year because of the hpfp seal failing sending gas into the head and tearing up cams and timing components, stretching the chain. Other than that clutch slipped which is typical and replaced with an aftermarket option. Most recently though the stock open diff decided to not alive itself after all of me driving how i do at the torque its seen for 70k miles so i cant really blame it. Si trans going in for lsd.
My 2016 civic exl has 105157 miles on it and it still drives great. Original tires last 65k miles, rear brake last 90k front brake a little over 100k, still on original rotor. The only maintenance I ever did to it was oil change, engine/cabin filter replacement 2x each and wiper blade 2x. The original battery only last 2.5 years, paint on c pillar peeling at about 3 years of owning (honda pay for 95% of the repair cost). Ac stop working after sitting in the garage for 6months during covid, honda fix it for free under the leaking condenser recall.
You never changed the cvt transmission fluid ? I’m at about 48,000 miles (got it at 43,000 last year) and I haven’t changed and I don’t think it has been changed. I think I’m going to do it just to be safe but I was just wondering if you ever changed it or had any issues.
@@theedazer6470 Never change transmission fluid no issue so far. I will get rid of mine at 150k/8 years which ever comes first so It makes more sense to skip these services and save the money for my next ride. You are definitely doing the right thing if you plan to keep the car for long term.
My 1999 accord, I traded in with 451,000 miles for a brand new 2017 civic coup. I drive 110 miles a day on the highway. Looking to break the Accords record. Coup currently has 120,000 miles or something. I don't really look until it's in for an oil change.
My girl has 160k miles on a 2018 civic touring she went 1500miles over oil change like 4-5 times 🤦🏽♂️😭but luckily it didn’t mess anything up idk how but yup and the only problem was the battery after 2.5 years at least replaced it n still runs like a beauty n we where long distance at the time and never told me until I asked 😭🤦🏽♂️😂
Same with my 2016 Touring, had issues with the AC just under year. Took it back to the Dealer and they tried to claim nothing was wrong even though very little cold air and a hissing/ belt slipping sound only when the AC was on. Took it back a month later they ended up replacing the whole AC system. Not much longer I received a notice from HONDA HQ sent to me in the mail letting me know of the ongoing AC problem and extended warranty to cover the issue.
Is this still a good car to get in 2023 like what if this car has 210,000 and it’s 2016 right should you get it still if this is the car I been waiting for it ? Like someone is selling it for 9,850 ? And it’s in white it looks nice but it has a crap sign on the front of the bumper
I checked the intake valves with the help of an endoscope in my 2017 CR-V w/ 90k the other day and found significant carbon buildup on the valve stems despite that I have been religiously seafoaming the engine before every oil changes...
Any fuel additive you may use will not bathe the back of the intake valves because in these engines they are direct injected in each cylinder. There are sprays that can be used, injected downstream of the MAF which may provide some cleaning. If it does get bad then pulling the intake and blasting the back of the valves with walnut shells can be done by a shop. That will cost some however.
I just realized something. Your windshield washer reservoir is on the driver's side. Mine is on the passenger side. Is that with all Canadian models? I wonder why they did that? My coupe is made in Canada for the US market, seems odd they would change that.
Mine is a 2017 Touring Coupe. I've seen 4.5 L/100 kms on a straight flat stretch of highway. That equals approx. 53 MPG. I disagree with the statement that the car is light. It might feel light but it is nearly 3000 lbs. I disagree with doing 164 km/h on a side road....but it sure does look fun. I just ain't got the balls for that myself.
@@BurninGas8.1 I was driving through the prairies. Flat as a pancake for 100's of kms. The real time fuel monitoring was between 4.5 and 4.7 l/100km. When I stopped, I'd averaged 4.6. Just went easy on the throttle, ECO on and keeping it at 110 km/h.
I see what you are saying about the weight. A lot does depend on the engineering. Using common design technology, one of these loaded with people will feel pretty lethargic. But if the engine has any common mods to free up power it will handle it better.
good to know abut the alignment thing the gf had her 2018 aligned by honda twice for that exact reason and they said it was good both times, and i gotta say the seat material kinda sucks, it stains on hers super easy, so much that she has a towel for people to sit on lol, im surprised the gas mileage is worse on the turbos, hers is the 2l and it gets around 750-800 a tank then again hers is 6 speed I find the center console drives into my leg but other than that its an awesome car, first civic i didnt kill... yet lol, i agree about that pan being a pita, the gf only has about 100000k on her 2018 gotta do its first safety this month, cool to see another coupe around theres not many it seems thanks for the vid
@@BurninGas8.1 not sure think it's 50 or 55, that might be why, there's quite a difference between winter and summer, I assume it's the gas(winter/summer gas), Winter is between 7-8.5l/100 summer is 4-5l/100 with her driving that is lol
I replaced base seats with Type R seats for a while and the center console stopped bothering me. But the Type R seats are not comfy for seat bottom so I am working in them. The best thing would be to remove the console to put material on it like a dense foam and alcantara
I'm pretty confident you could drop a K20 engine into the sea, and leave it for 10 years. Then come back to get it, clean it off a little, hook it up and it would still run.
Like in winter when it was really cold. But I have to let the car heat up for 10 minutes before leaving on a delivery? I really appreciate your videos!
I own one in a cold Canadian climate and no. Oil change oil change and oil change is the key. Just keep with that and you can leave with in 5 minutes of startup. Sure you don't want to be hard full throttle hard take offs when cold but you don't need to let it warm up for 10 minutes. ☺
I have a 2018 hatchback sport touring. I have had it for 2 1/2 years. The car has 37,400 miles. I have had some major issues. My master cylinder went out at 35,000 miles. The ac compressor & condenser went out at 35,000 miles as well and would of been around very close to $3,000 to fix. My lane keep assist always gets triggered by shadows from power lines. The dealership could not find the problem. So they told me to turn off lane keep assist. YES! THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO TURN Off A SAFETY FEATURE. Also the brake assist comes on when a dark spot or pot hole is in the lane. The infotainment screen some times goes black. In addition to all that my driver seatbelt feels like its sticking. When i buckle the seatbelt it feels like it doesn't want to latch. When i try to take it off it feels like its stuck and doesn't want to release the belt. Even though i have had these issues i love my car. It drives just like my old 2013 bmw 328i. Never had major issues with my bmw. But the bmw was falling appat pretty fast. The light fixture was falling out of the bmw trunk and the panels on the inside were coming loose. And the fake crome was peeling off. Also my window switches became unstable and were sinking into the door panel of the driver side.
Honda has very very bad service... when they soaked my wife’s rotors in grease to get rid of the squealing noises at 60,000 cause they are too cheap to put 160 dollars in parts to fix the problem.... case of brake clean later I got her brakes back to normal... I called furious and asked what kind of idiot soaks someone’s brakes in grease... service manager told me o it’s a new brake lubricant... I said that will be the last time I let idiots touch a vehicle my wife drives... I’d write a letter to Honda Canada and tell them your thoughts...
Wow you must've gotten a bad one them because usually it's the opposite the BMW is a money pit Haha made like crap usually. I will say dont blast your ac on 100 percent all the time especially when its extremely hot I know people who start their cars the crank the ac on high the gervin and drive that's kinda abuse to the compressor. Think of your hvac unit if you blast it on the coldest setting all the time its gonna give out quick.i have a 2018 si and havnt had the ac issue but I rarely use it so idk I like the windows down
@@LovelyMe33 Where do you live? Your stated Civic issues were common ones but the car had very low miles. Did you drive it on short trips? In what city or town were you in? How is the CRV?
@@BurninGas8.1 Brakes are interesting because the hub needs grease, the piston in hydraulic/brake fluid, and the pins grease but the largest surface needs to be dry. Where was it making noise? The single biggest issue with all Hondas recently is abysmally poor service departments but mainly resistance by Honda to cover items under warranty. Good that you work on your own car like me.
I am a delivery driver in Edmonton Alberta. What do you think about this car for cold winter driving? And a lot of stop-and-go City driving. Also kind of concerned about the turbo. But I absolutely love this car
Just purchased a 21 Accord Sport SE. It has the 1.5t, and this makes me feel pretty good about this motor and transmission. Honda obviously makes good cvt transmissions. Oh, do you use 87 octane in your cvic?
@@BurninGas8.1 copy that! One more thing, I have noticed the smell of gasoline when I check my oil. Have you also smelled gasoline when checking the oil? If you have, then it shouldn't be a big deal with my accord.👍🏾
@@bmlove81 Our noses are not that precise so calibrate your oil volume reading by changing your engine oil and marking the visible window on the oil container with tape before you top it up. You will check the dipstick so make a mental note where the oil is at like middle of orange piece, and then add 1/10 of a quart more and stop. Then drive it 2500 miles and check the level. The added volume will be fuel and you can calculate what percentage it is because you now know what a couple of millimeters on the dipstick represents. If the added volume is a lot, tell Honda because they have extended warranty on poorly running 1.5 engines with way too much fuel in oil. Also if you use 5w30 it helps lesses fuel-in-oil and runs fine. You should check compression also in case it turns out your rings are not seating well. For the record, mine smells a bit like fuel but the volume change is minimal. I change it at only 3k sometimes. Other times around 5k miles.
I am glad that the car has had so many kilometers behind it and it is still driving well. But I have two questions. At which kilometers the camshaft chain changes preventively. If a replacement is planned at all during the life of the car. How to change the rear brake pads. Is it necessary to return the brake cylinders with the OBD unit, or do the brake cylinders sink back by screwing?
Your car honestly looks in great condition. I timed the 100-160 kph acceleration you did at @8:13, and it's around 10 seconds, which is pretty impressive. I'm about to buy this car used so would appreciate it if you could answer a few questions: 1) Is the car mostly driven on highways or in traffic? 2) Have you inspected the intake valves to see carbon build-up?
Its done a lot of highway driving at first now last 80,000 its been a comuter engine is untouched no i havent had motor scope inside to look car works flawlessly
@@BurninGas8.1 how many miles you have now? I have a 10 gen civic sport with about 112,000 miles that I just financed and wonder how long it’s gonna last me. Not sure.
I had a 9th Gen accord and it was a 13 and it had over 230,000 thousand miles on it and it never ever left me stranded and never burned a once of oil but I sold it for a 21 civic ex do u think that was a good idea? I heard that the civic had issues with oil dilution
@@drehot118 yea for sure I daily it everyday y as my commuter for work never really gets babied unless I’m the city with traffic I’m at 85k now still no problems had during my ownership , tranny fluid every 15 K oil, every 4K Still on stock clutch , have done brake and rotors all around and that’s the only thing I’ve changed out that needed other than that just basic maintenance
Have you noticed any high pitched noise/whistle from CVT when driving/coasting between 0-30 km/h? I bought the sedan 2 months ago (Europe) and I can hear it, pretty loud, especially when driving in a quiet enviroment with no traffic noise around me. Another issue that's also pretty annoying are bunch of squeeks and rattles from the dashboard and front doors.
@@jamesmedina2062 I bought it brand new. So, it is new fluid right from factory. Level is ok. No idea what’s causing that noise. It’s happening only at speeds between 0-30 km/h. It gets louder when it’s warm or hot weather.
So I just bought me a 2020 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback with over 46k miles on it and it runs pretty good. But how often will I need to change my transmission fluid though?
Only 192,000 km on my turbo and it's in the shop for a blown head gasket and two injectors. Hopefully they don't find other issues upon tear-down. Thankfully I got the 200K/7yr warranty. Update: While replacing the head gasket and two injectors, they also changed the other two injectors, cam rollers, cam shafts, head bolts and valve guides. The tech mentioned the cam rollers "freeze" in place and wear a flat spot on start-up. He also said the head bolts are tiny so they changed them as well.
Hey I have the same car. It’s been great so far but now heading into 150,000 km the ride is getting bumpy. Even small bumps on the road, I can feel it and it just isn’t a smooth ride anymore compared to when I first got the car. I took it to the dealer and they said the 2 front struts were going out and it is not covered by warranty. Have you had any issues with the struts/suspension?
Hello I have a 2012 Honda Civic love it but doesn't act 2017 have a CVT transmission so I can't see how they would be fluid for that or transmission filter is yours a CVT transmissions?
@@BurninGas8.1 okay thank you so would you see that the CVT transmission is reliable I was worried about upgrading to buy new Civic because of the CVT my car has a 5-speed automatic transmission could you go back to a CVT

Mine was bought new in 2017 and has 77k miles on it. I was worried if I should get a new car asap before it hits the magic number of 100k. It looks like I can hold on to it a bit longer

What's she at now (mileage wise). I'm looking into one myself 2.0 I like due to more basic engine design but I prefer the h/b which I believe only comes w 1.5 in sport trim.
For those vehicles in Canada using kilometers on gauge cluster. Now to the USA vehicles gauge cluster using miles per hour. However the US vehicles miles per hour (MPH) is better than Canadian kilometers (KM).
@@jttruong2681 I know, I had mine changed as well with this warranty extension. I had to have my compressor changed as well (1200$ job) so I begged Honda Canada for this and they accepted to help me out with a brand new unit. Honda is the best! I will invest in a metal mesh gril installation in order to protect the condenser from rocks in the future.
@@BurninGas8.1 cool. Now you reignite the flame of me wanting 22 Civic Sport Touring with the 1.5T engine. Only problem is its $40k compared to Corolla Hatchback fully loaded around $33k CDN. Its very hard to decide since both are fun to drive cars.
Wow, 155,342 miles, not bad for the 1.5T!! So many people think they're junk. And it's usually people that know nothing about what they're talking about or smug owners of the 2.0 liter non-turbo. But the 2.0L is a gas pig. No where near the gas mileage. I have a rare 2018 EX-T 1.5T with the 6-speed manual and dual exhaust. Not many of those around. Not having any issues with mine.
So these turbo 1.5L engines are proving to be reliable? I really want an EX because of the features but the turbo engine is kind of a turn off since I live in northeastern US… will it be fine in the winter months or is it best to just get a Sport with the 2.0? I’d be using it as a normal daily driver and expect it to last minimum 5-6 years. Thanks
The odd time but when ya snap your high beams on they are not long realizing... plus new vehicles if u leave your fog lights on they only operate on low beam... meaning if u see fog lights on too you know oncoming is on low beam... the lights in my bmws are crazy bright bi zenon
@@BurninGas8.1 I was thinking about upgrading to led lights but still a bit hesitant because I heard that if you switch only the bulbs without switching the whole assembly it will become too bright for upcoming traffic. I have a civic too but it’s the base model it doesn’t have front fog lights. Do you recommend going ahead and switching the bulbs or buying the whole assembly?
Sounds like a ripoff. But I guess times changed. I financed a 2017 challenger with like 30k miles for less than the price of that Honda with 109k miles
Bro you bought a dodge , which has one of the highest cost to maintain due to its poor build quality. If u can show me any dodge product that has gotten over 300k/km on it while only costing u $1500 to maintain it and the thing doesnt burn a drop of oil as well as running like a top and looking fantastic on the body then maybe u can question the higher initial cost. But since that will NEVER happen youll soon understand why ur dodge was so much cheaper. I drive a 2006 honda odyssey w 260000 km. I bought it almost 4 yrs ago and other than changing the oil evry 5k/km, it has only cost me $600 to maintain it. I bought it with 185k/km on it. So ive put on 75k happy km.
@@BurninGas8.1damn . I have 185,000 and my car runs like a champion... All you need to do is stay with honda dealer for your regular routine for maintenance and ya all set for life..lmao....
Cvt usually last longer than Dct, but honda said that they redesign the 10 speed dct on the accord 2.0T so we have to see people on the road. But their are so few 2.0T dct sales compare to 1.5T cvt. So i think go with cvt with good maintenance is the better option. Honda sell around 1 millions cvt each year in the US since 2016 till today. If it not last we will already see a lot of reports on the internet like the Nissan .
@@jorgeantoniovargas3006 people say oil dilution is a big problem. I agree on that BUT it is a big problems compare to normal honda engines, if you compare that to a lot of failures like trash engines kia/huyndai , electrical fail and windshield always break on mazda. honda is still a better option.
I haven't done that. What helps me when at a stop light or parked with the car on ideling, make sure you are on neutral or parking. It helps significantly. I doordash and put 100+ miles every day, and after 2 hours in the rumbling stops even when I'm in drive. I should throw out there that I recently started using Amsoil signature series oil and Amsoil cvt transmission fluid, runs great. For Idiling cars, Amsoil helps a lot with the wear and tear.
I just bought a car with same engine 1.5 t and I notice that my oil smells like gasoline and I took it to Honda dealer and they said that it’s normal with these engines ???? Does your oil smell like gasoline ???
@@BurninGas8.1 it's the only thing kinda scaring me away from getting one. But I figure asking people is the best way to find out if it's as bad as they say.
@@BurninGas8.1 ah, I see. I still have the stock OEM that came with my FK7 Hatch. Probably will go with another set of those. They work surprisingly great even with spirited driving in the mountains. Makes sense since Akibono makes them for Honda.
@@BurninGas8.1 here in Malaysia, Honda doesn't call for cvt filter change at all, just oil change. We just do it out of our concern. I do it every 30kkm, oil and both filters..
