I took your advice 2 weeks ago and picked up a 2018 Honda Civic (base model) with 36,000 miles for 17k and I absolutely love it. It corners really well for a non sports car and it can get up and go when you want it to and it can fit my 1 year old's car seat and my wife and I comfortably. Also I was driving a 2004 chevy impala ls before this car and I tell you what I was super happy to get out of that money pit and upgrade to this!

It's a great daily driver even if the cold air on the conditioner went warm around 40,000 miles. Glad l bought the LX model since l was almost tempted by the bells and whistles of the Ex-t which has the oil dissolution problems. Thank you for all your knowledgeable car wisdom!

Bought a 2017 civic 2.0 a year ago and so far its been awesome. Glad I followed my gut and chose the 2.0 over the turbo version. I was nervous about the CVT as well but heard good things about Hondas CVT and decided to go with it. Over all it exceeded my expectations, has had no problems big or small, and absolutely glad i chose it despite being still unsure of the CVT over the long term.

I bought my 2018 Civic EXT new back in June 2018. It’s Jan 2021 and I’ve driven 60,800 miles. I’ve maintained it aggressively (oil change every 3,800 miles) and use only high detergent gas (Sunoco 93 has the highest detergent). Drives as good (if not better) than day one. Great performance. Great avg mpg. No dilution issues. So far, so good. I live in NY just slightly north of NYC with no garage. I’ll keep updating my experience. Next one should be around 75,000 miles.

That is great to hear. What kind of oil do you use? Do you use all synthetic?
@txmoney
@txmoney 3 года назад
@@shando3333 I only use the Honda full synthetic oil. I now update my maintenance every 5,000 miles (or earlier). The recommended change is 7,500 miles but I do it early to mitigate carbon deposits. I also use only the highest detergent top-tier fuel (Shell 93 Octane). If you have a modern turbo, it’s advisable to maintain the engine religiously.I just hit 68,000 miles as of today, April 12. I’ll probably do a walnut blast soon to clean the intake valves as modern GDI turbo engines are more susceptible to carbon build up. I’m hitting 32.3 mpg.

@@heyitsjulian805 Approaching the fourth year of ownership (three years, ten months): 103,400 miles, averaging 34.3 mpg (combined city/highway). Four new tires, four new brake pads, cut rotors, bled and replaced brake fluid, cleaned fuel injectors, replaced spark plugs, early oil/filter changes (every 3,800-4,200 miles), replaced transmission fluid twice, engine air filter replaced regularly. That’s it. I’ve had trouble-free driving with an aggressive maintenance schedule. Relatively low cost of ownership. The first expensive maintenance is due soon with a water pump and drive belt replacement. I’ll have that done at 110,000 miles.

Thank you Scotty! I used to regret not getting the touring model. But I have a 2017 Civic EX 2.0L and this makes me feel better about my purchase decision. I made the decision to go with NA engine because I didn’t trust the turbocharged engine. But I did wished I could have a manual transmission, which it’s rare to find one with a 2.0L engine.

Lefai Kao Yes, we came close to getting one last week but heard about the AC issues and Honda not even backing the warranty.....blaming outside debris damaging the AC, instead of their faulty design. And leaving customers on the hook for expensive repairs even when under warranty. The whole point of getting a new car is to avoid expensive repairs. We’re disappointed because we really like the Civic, but reliable AC is a must for us.
