A guy driving through parking spaces, rather than using the roadway, totaled my '06 Civic. One complaint: Most uncomfortable car to ride in. You feel EVERY bump. Stiffer struts/sus would probably fix that. ALSO be weary of the '06 year. They recalled THOUSANDS for casting the engines wrong. So if you buy one, find out if they put a new engine in there. I never knew or found out, I just got lucky.

Didn’t know about all the problems with the 1.5 liter engines before I bought it but so far I’ve driven it 15k miles in 9 months and haven’t had the fuel smell inside the interior or had high levels when checking the oil stick, so I’m happy about that!

I glad for your opinion on CVT transmissions. I've written Scotty about my used '07 Honda Fit Sport which has one. I drive like a little old lady but paddle shift all the time. With 112K miles, the car still performs, burns no oil, A/C ain't bad for a 1.5 ltr. engine. Has disk brakes up front, gets me where I want to go but how I didn't know a thing about them when I bought. I wanted a manual but my wife was involved and she needs an auto. Then she got ill and hasn't driven in years. I can't afford to upgrade. My point? I suppose if one drives logically a car like mine could last for a long time. Thanks for your closing statements, Scotty. Makes complete sense.

Over 60,000 miles now (in 24 months) no issues other than the camera became misaligned during a road trip to New Mexico from NY at 50,000 miles and it just shut all the assistive tech off. $300 to diagnose and fix. I change the transmission fluid at 25,000 miles, i think Honda wants it done at 40,000. I feel like there is too much going on in there for 40,000 miles. I plan to keep it forever.

2018 Honda Accord EX-L 1.5 73,300 miles. Just came back from the dealer. Started with christmas tree lights (every warning light) going off in the car. Thought it was a bad battery, bought a battery wasn't that. Misfire on cylinder 3. Blown head gasket with a possible leak or deformed engine. They recommend buying a new engine at a cost of around $10,000.00. Went down an internet rabbit hole and it seems that the problem is quite major with thousands of posts all over the internet. The problem is believed to be making the engine more emissions-friendly to deal with government ratings; what they didn't foresee was the gaskets couldn't take the pressure. I contacted Honda GoodWill and seeing what they say, I'm not holding my breath.

@@snowsolo . Do you know how a cvt transmission works? Its a metal belt that spins. Metal doesn't naturally bend so to make it work they put hundreds or more tiny links, sort of like a chain, that make up the belt. Once that belt breaks it literally explodes. There is no rebuilding that. 5 years from today will change nothing. The only improvement is getting away from that horrible design.

My first car was a 96 accord Ex and bought it from the original owner with 120,000km. I rode that until 250,000km before the transmission gave out. I got a used transmission and that lasted another 25,000 before also dying. I parted it out at that point. I really wish I did a manual transmission swap at that time because I knew that bad boy would last me years! I miss that car everyday.

Because of Scotty I made the switch to Toyota. My first car was a bmw and I only put 20k miles on it before the engine blew up. And prior to that I was working on it almost every other day. I had a Tacoma after that but it recently got totaled by another driver. So I just bought a 2023 Camry SE nightshade with only 8k miles on it. Haven’t had a problem with either of those Toyotas. I plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off. I don’t want to spend money fixing a car. I already spend enough on payments, insurance, and gas. Thank you Scotty!

As a Honda fan, I was quite disappointed in the company when my Acura RSX gave up on me at 265,000 due to oil dilution that occurs on Hondas after reaching a high mileage. the oil and fuel begin to mix in the combustion chamber creating a high consumption of both oil and fuel.

I owned a 2007 Accord VP stick from new.

Normal maintenance was a fan belt and tires. The front disc brake shoes I replaced at 130k, but they could have gone to 150k easily. The front rotors and rear drums were still like new. Paint was still excellent when I sold it.

@luperamos7307 3 месяца назад

@@anthonymangual365 Bc you can also mess things up if you change the fluid. The reality is that most people never change it. Over time the fluid won't run as well, but you will also have wear of the transmission. So sometimes it evens outs. Kind of the same concept as people that start putting thicker oils in older engines. I also never knew if you should really do that or not.

@steponmemommy9323 Месяц назад

@@luperamos7307 Changing transmission fluid helps extend the life of the transmission by removing contaminants. It's simple - dirty fluids have more friction. Friction will eventually destroy engines, power steering systems, and transmissions. You minimize the amount of friction that occurs from normal wear and tear by keeping the fluids clean. People often neglect changing these fluids and they can get away with it for a while, but I assure you that they are reducing the lifespan of the transmission by ignoring the maintenance. An automatic transmission that only made it to 200,000 miles without changing fluid could have easily made it to a million miles with clean fluid.

I’m driving a 2001 Insight with about 200,000 miles on it. It’s my daily driver. Normal maintenance for me is changing oil as needed. I had to replace the hybrid battery when I got it in 2012 (unlike Toyota, it can run with a dead hybrid battery). I had to replace the hybrid battery again last year. The hybrid battery is about the size of a suitcase and consists of 120 D-cells. The lifetime MPG is 51 and I’ve gotten up to 77 MPG on highway trips. I have the Window sticker - the original owner paid $19,990. The transmission is a five-speed manual. Yes, manual transmission on a hybrid. The first generation Insights were built in Japan.
