My 2012 Civic which is an automatic has 408k miles. I did all the maintenance myself because it is easy, anyone can do it just need the tools. Well done on reaching 500k they don't quit.
@@justicedoesfitness2024 No major issues. I had to change out a break caliper as well because it was seizing up. I don't use A/C a whole lot, but I did notice that it doesn't work well when I try to run it, not major issue in my opinion. The only thing you have to do is make sure you change out the engine oil and transmission oil when it says to and it'll keep going. I was told to change out the timing chain which is a major undertaking. I didn't do it and at this point I'm probably going to ride it out. It runs like a champ every time and yeah seems to be bullet proof at 414k miles.
I have a 2017 touring. I used KTuner with a stage 2 tune at 26,000 miles, it’s now at 52,000 miles with no issues with drive train. My A/C of all things went out at 40k, easily replaced and cheap. Stage 2 in sport mode with Econ mode turned off is faster than most other average cars out there. Yes it’s not a sports car but I definitely love the passing power and MPGs from it
Absolutely awesome! Thanks for sharing all this. Not sure if you mention this elsewhere, but what do you do for a living that puts so many miles on your car? (Also, bonus points for the Mariana Trench reference…)
Don't forget folks, you also have to keep your car clean and protected. Not all of us live in the south, or the south west. So if you live where it snows, etc, make SURE you undercoat it with fluid film, or woolwax, anything petroleum based, bar and chain oil, heck even used motor oil. Anything. Make sure you clean the chassis well first, let it fully dry, then spray your fluid film. Literally cover everything. This also goes for paint, you want to keep it clean, protected, and washed often. These days with ceramic technology it's worth the money to have a good ceramic coating done every 7 years. In-between keep the paint protected with a nice ceramic spray detailer. Really folks it's all about just keeping things clean, maintained, and don't skimp on quality. Change your oil, and change it often. CVT owners, do your drain and fills every 30k, or earlier. Use amsoil CVT fluid.
Still waiting on the following update with the maintenance prices! Did you replace any struts, springs, suspension components? How often did you replace brake rotors and brake pads etc. thanks in advance
Have to go through miles of paperwork (pun intended😁). The papers in the video is only 1 year and I have 5 years worth. I'll be recording it on Monday.
🤣YUP! I'll talk about it in a upcoming video! No one would believe it if I typed it so.... Gotta make a video on it. Problem is, I've been busy putting more miles on the car.... See what I did there? Thanks for watching! 😁
There’s no secret it’s all about Maintenance & the way you treat your car there’s people who literally have like 700k miles on they’re car just by taking care of it
I have a 2017 civic ex - 200,000 miles just hit. I have done all regular maintenance. NEVER replaced my tires (still at a 3 I don’t know how), had both breaks done, rears twice, had issues w windshield wipers but that was repeatedly fixed free at Honda service, I have replaced my windshield due to severe pitting, and I just replaced my sway bars but I need to get my new tires and an alignment. But I disagree I think my girl is fast. She’s been up to 120 but I never have a problem especially driving in non eco mode. Only problems I’ve noticed are USB and Bluetooth issues and sometimes the parking break gets sticky.
Yes but that was at over 600k miles. I talk about what it was exactly in the a recent video. One of the links below I think. Thanks for watching! 😁 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kxbdnbvMwp8.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MsWGkb0XfUU.html
Yes. However, because the engine is Direct Injection it's subject to carbon buildup. So giving it a heavy acceleration once in a while helps clean the fuel injectors. Thanks for watching! 😁
Do you let your gas get down to really really empty. Like 20 miles till you run out of gas or do you fill up like with 25% gas left? I heard letting gas go really low all the time is bad for your engine.
I have done where 0 mile left went to closes gas station for quick gas then get to Costco for 91 but that only my first time ever in 2 years owning my accord.
Same! Reliability is a huge plus for building brand loyalty. I couldn't care less about my Civic, I just needed a car. Once the gas milage and reliability were solidified I was won over. Congrats! Thanks for watching! 😁
I have 75k miles on my civic 2016, and already had to change the starter. It cost me 1500 😢 I also had to pay to get the electric brace fixed, it broke less than a month after the warranty expired lol
So I guess this is a surprise to me. For a small displacement turbo , direct injection engine, and fuel dilution; I suspected it won't make it to 500k miles. In fact, I haven't heard much of any Petrol/Gasoline Turbos go past 350k miles. Do you use 91 octane gas? I hear for some people, they had reliability issues because of low octane grade gas.
I am actually not sure how you drive if you feel you need to change down to 3rd gear to pass anyone and keep saying its slow. :o You are like the only "reviewer" of the 1.5l that says its slow. (I own a 2017 1.5 manual myself). What car do you compare with?
I'm comparing it to my current G70 (365hp). And my Recently sold Genesis Coupe (348hp). People speed up when your trying to pass, or box you in to drive their speed (annoying). That makes it unnecessarily difficult to pass. More power quells that. Thanks for watching! 😁
I’m without a car now and scared of high mileage cars. I want a nice looking car and I trust Honda to be reliable. So far I’ve had a 2013 pilot and 2020 crv. I’m looking at 2017 civics with 125-135k miles. 13-14.9k. How is the price for the mileage? How long do civics last?
Unfortunately car prices are through the roof. Try for a car with around 60-80k miles. The non turbo civics are cheaper. When taken care of civic will run to 300k miles without trying. Keep the maintenance up and consider an extended warranty. Thanks for watching! 😁
@@Imleocalm i do still have a 2017 infinity qx60 with 71k lined up for me, but im getting cold feet becuase people say it kinda sucks. I like the way it drives and its just a nissan so i thought it would be a bit reliable
So I don’t need to stress about my 2016 accord coupe being at 100k? I’m almost at 100k and I feel like if I get my transmission flushed or change, the random lagging will stop. But also I have a sensor Electric problem too so it’s gotta be one of those. But it’s been a year with that those problems specifically.
If it's not paid off maybe a lil stress... If the transmission is going bad. A flush won't fix it just delay it. But let just anyone "flush it though".. (not mechanic advise) ; lol. Thanks for watching! 😁
The stick shift is better then the CVT but if you get the CVT change the fluid often a guy on bobistheoil guy put over 370,000 miles on a 2015 Civic he got rid of it for issues unrelated to the CVT but he changed the CVT fluid often around every 10 or 15,000 miles more so then most people who recommend every 25,000 or 30,000 miles. The same guy has an Accord now with over 258,000 miles original CVT changes the CVT fluid often but I think he uses the BG CVT fluid conditioner additive each time he changes the CVT fluid don't know if used that with the Civic he used to own.
CVT's have a chain drive belt in them, that is constantly making metal shavings. That is why "the car wizard" says you need to change cvt fluid every 30,000 miles and clean off the magnet in the oil pan.
You say you only have 170hp on your 1.5t, I don't know where you are from, but these machines have 182hp. And these cars are not slow. Is your car made in England, U.K.?
I have a hatchback sport cvt. My dog hates the feeling of acceleration. My car never hits 2500rpm. My tires were beyond bald at 45k miles. I dont understand how you were able to keep them that long
Not hating, thats awesome you got your car to that mileage. But the numbers your saying for maintenance isnt making sense. You said $ 1,520 in maintenance to get to 100,000 miles. You also said you did oil changes every 3 weeks for the first two years. So Honda charges around $65 for oil changes. So every 3 weeks for two years would be atleast 30 oil changes times $ 65 = $ 1,950. Plus all the other maintenance you mentioned you did ( coolant flush, transmission service, wheel alignment, tire rotations, valve adjustment, engine & cabin filter ) would put you at atleast $ 2,700 or more. just not getting how it would be $ 1,520
Great point! I have a video coming up that explain in detail with the numbers how much things cost on this car. You'll be shocked! Thanks for watching and the feedback! 😁
So my big question. Did you replace the water pump? The dealer is telling me I should replace it as preventative maintenance but man. It’s $1500 to do that
Your miles are highway miles whith the engine is basically idling all the time so by the data highway miles are 70% to 80% less wear than city driving whith makes alot sense so when you reach 1 million it would be basically 200k to 300k miles whith is not alot anyway. Driving highway the way you do you should expect at least 1.5 million miles, it will be impressed if you reach 2 million but for now it's just average compared to city driving. Go drive ubber and let's see if it can last 300k miles, I have a friend that did reach 300k miles on his 2018 civic only city driving, 2 transmissions replaced a couple head gasket but no engine rebuild yet so let's see
@@Imleocalm hey man excellent job 👏. Did you notice eny oil dilution ?? My respect from Greece 🇬🇷 If you have any ideas for how to fix this problem please let us know 🙏 🙂 keep driving 🚗 😀
@@elelael1 No notice in oil dilution. I asked in the service department as well. The only solution I'm aware of is preventative and that's letting the car engine warm up during cold winter months.
@@elelael1 The mechanics said if you have an engine that has oil dilution, that you should go back to the traditional 3000 mile oil changes that people have been doing for years.
My '23 Integra is also a dog in comfort/eco mode. Even though it's rated at 200hp/192 ft/lb of torque. Getting 32mpg in mixed driving, really impressed he got 46.8. I could probably hit 36 but I like the throttle too much. :D
Oil change every 3 weeks????? Wat u smoking homie I need some of that!!!! I've never heard any one do such nonsense. Oil change is done every 3 thousand miles recommended that'd keeping up with the maintenance but if u got it like that more power to you!
