Honda Civic Review-SECOND TAKE, BASE ENGINE. 

+MrHW1968 I have the same model, love it.

+MrHW1968 I feel the same about my 2005 Civic coupe. Love it to death, and plan to have it for a long time still. But I already know my next car will be this beauty

Few more years already passed.

if you want a new car, always buy cars that are 4-5 years old.

+TechGerbil Don't get Audi, they have the notorious engine light problem with no known fix.

I have a fully loaded A4, drives awesome and is beautiful, and am selling it to get one of these. Audis cost a lot to maintain trust me. Set aside about $3-4,000 per year if you choose the A4 to properly maintain it.

Derek Townsley How come the car is costing so much to maintain? I typically spend $100 per 6 months for scheduled maintenance on my crossover.

+Chris Sorreda common sense right? My CR-V also has lane watch, but I never use it.

Watch Mat Wattson (carwow) he is sooo much better

I feel like thats more of a blind spot than the right side, where you can normally look out the windows to see

Hello brother! So what's the story with your manual Honda? Did you buy it? Any comments?

Having the volume knob is an extra good thing and friends can still mess with the volume on the radio even without. Why try to justify a step backwards? I guess because you own the car.

Why? The reason Honda only put it on one mirror is because it is unintuitive to look towards the right side of the car to be actually seeing the left

+DoubleD 613 at least lane watch monitoring(not necessarily video) on the left would be nice though. maybe next year

+Santiago Rocha That's right, they don't want you to look right, at the screen, when you turn left.

+Mithun Mehta You should do what I always suggest and drive them both and get an idea of which car you like better. On paper, the new turbo Civic will have much more content and is almost as big as the Mazda6. The one thing the Mazda has going for it is a conventional 6-speed automatic compared to the CVT in the Civic. The turbo engine in the Civic also feels a bit more responsive than the Mazda6. Try them out and see what you think?

+Motormouth Canada . You always rock. thanks for reply.

Honda has confirmed that they are going to bring the 1.5 engine with a 6-Speed in the near future.

+Santiago Rocha yup I'm excited to see how it turns out

So true, this car is actually a lot nicer than the ILX

Which province are you from? I'll have to double check BC, but it's either expensive or really expensove here so not much difference between car makes and models.

Audioholic 01 not in my experience I'm in Toronto canada. My quote for a 2017 is under $200 it depends on your driving record class license and postal code.

But whats your quote for lets say an Elantra? My bet is its still cheaper. I've talked to more people recently and it is more to do with location it seems. I know someone that moved from Durham to Scarborough in a condo by the Town center and their car insurance jumped nearly $100 more a month. Some parts of Toronto will be worse than others. So maybe in you're area its not too bad.

+Shray with the honda sensing package the adaptive cruise control maintains a following distance to the car in front. You can search for videos on 2016 civic honda sensing and the low speed follow feature to see what it will do.

Stetrain thanks for the info!...based on what i observed...it is indeed like the Merc distronic system....incredible that Honda would be having this feature

Coupe looks way better.

No. It does not even include a touchscreen.

IamAnoobiecheez But does the Elantra have low resale?

Joe Lee Finally someone gets it!

+Christopher Car Reviews The key word being "lease".

I believe AWD will be offered on the Acura ILX so there will be a premium price associated with the AWD system.

The costs vary depending on location and whether or not if your Honda is a franchisee(most dealerships are) so depends on what profit margin they want. I just went to Honda in Richmond auto mall tonight and to walk off the lot with the lx-Hondasensing would cost a total of 25,427

mopground It would if you were to pay what they are asking... LOL

what?

Visnoo Brickwala Yes. It has a spare tire in the trunk.

sme question.I am 6'2".

Tacomadome24 I had to pay that too but worth it because we live in cold canada with snow and salt so I'd protect much as I can nothing more depressing than seeing a rusty car

That's a pure scam

even 20 is kinda steep lol. i remember my first car was a 2001 civic and it cost 15 and change after tax.

+Dan Henderson 2001 was a long time ago, plug it into the Bank of Canada Inflation rate calclulator and see what you get in 2016.

The 2.0 port injected naturally aspirated motor will be far more reliable and last much longer than the 1.5 direct injected turbo motor. If you plan on keeping it many years definitely go for the 2.0. However, if you’re a racing/autocross enthusiast the 1.5 turbo motor has tremendous aftermarket support and is far more tunable and faster than the 2.0. Of course the Type R with the 2.0 turbo is the ultimate track toy. 2.0 = Bulletproof reliable 1.5T = Faster and better gas mileage

Right bro I got the 2.0 with no turbo pretty quick get up.

Kevi C Well since I am hearing a lot about this I might as well stick with the Nissan Sentra.

+dave houston why?

+game hopper It's pretty self-explanatory. First model year cars are completely new, so there's a chance that the car is going to have a few small issues due to design flaws. In fact, Honda has issued an official recall of all 2016 Civics with the 2.0L engine because of a faulty piston pin retaining ring. It can lead to fires, oil leaks, and engine block damage. Not soothing news for any owners out there. The best thing you can do is wait a few years and let the automaker iron out the small problems here and there.

WuWei Xu noted thanks!

+dave houston you forgot to mention, never buy GM cars, ever since they just suck balls lol

i would wait one year..not a few yearss. if you wait a few years the next gen will be out

+nyak63RUS It does not sound ridiculous to me, it IS ridiculous. But hey, it is your money so do not listen to me, haha.

WHERE, I just looked on Autotrader and the MOST EXPENSIVE Touring listed within a 100 miles of me was listed at $27,335 US, the Touring also has the FULL LED HEADLIGHTS and the 450 watt audio system with factory subwoofer and heated seats on the REAR seats (not just the front seats like the EX-T), I mean sure if you wanted to save 3-5k then go with the EX-T over the Touring but dropping to the base LX and losing practically everything just isn't worth it in the long run.

+DanielRichards644 My price is Canadian . We pay way too much because our dollar is not doing well .

Mr. Worf OK, and yes i'm familiar with how crappy the Canadian dollar is doing right now, I watch several tech channels here on youtube and they are all Canadians.

+DanielRichards644 Yeah we pay way to much for cars here .

Mr. Worf I agree some features are creating lazy drivers.

+nickolastiguan I don't like its exterior as much as the cheaper Elantra

+CNHabs The resale value of an Elantra drops like a rock. You lose a lot less money reselling your Civic which holds it's value better, usually offsets any initial price difference.

+toronto97 Honda has reportedly issued a stop-sale order for 2016 Civics equipped with 2.0-liter engines. The company is preparing to recall the vehicles due to a potentially missing or improperly installed piston pin snap ring, which can lead to a stall condition or complete engine failure. "All affected units will require use of a borescope to inspect the four cylinders to confirm correct piston pin snap ring placement," the company wrote in a message to dealers, according to excerpts posted on CivicX forums. "Vehicles exhibiting any concerns with piston pin snap ring placement may require replacement of damaged pistons, piston pins or rings, or other related engine components." Sufficient quantities of replacement parts and inspection borescopes are currently unavailable. American Honda expects to launch its customer notification program by mid-March, sending letters to approximately 34,000 owners. The Japanese automaker has had a few engine problems in recent years. Certain Accord sedans and CR-V crossovers are prone to excessive oil consumption due to worn rings, while separate recalls have addressed engine failures in the Accord, CR-V, Pilot and Odyssey. - - - The Elantra is a more reliable and better overall buy in my opinion.

+toronto97 Not the case anymore.

Herc Zeus where i live here in Calgary, AB, all Hyundai and Kia's resale value is shocking.

+Desperate4Attention A wagon? You must be a soccer mom.

NO. Just looking for the most utilitarian and efficient vehicle design.

Desperate4Attention Whatever floats your boat.

pretty sure all hondas have top safety tests.

Dan Henderson----you are telling me you are just as safe on a compact vehicle as you are on a full size vehicle because of the crash test ratings? I DONT THINK SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

write2rc the compact class isnt even compact anymore....this is the size of a mid size.

write2rc even the old elantra was a midsize size

Dan Henderson Accord is still expansive also.

You get what you pay for
