Hi friends,
I understand Toyota is the best but I want to buy a car with a bit more zip. I'm looking into the non-turbocharged 2016 and up 2.0L Honda civic EX models and was wondering if it's reliable? I know Scotty said they are but I believe he also mentioned their CVT transmissions are their weakest points. That being said, should I expect to have the transmission break down on me at some point if I purchase this car? I am heavy footed and plan on keeping the car for around 300 000kms IF this model is reliable.
Thank you!
Their great cars as long as you don't get one of the new GDI injection ones. Don't get one with a CVT though it might hold up but there's no need to risk it. Check Autotempest.com to find your perfect honda and a great deal to boot! Try sticking to 16-17 anything newer than that and your just throwing money away when hondas easily go 250k miles with low maintenance

Thank you
Get civic with manual transmission without GDIs,...

No GDI for sure but I can't drive a manual 🙁
The manual transmission is the best for longevity., although the automatics are great too. Just do not push it too hard,
2016 EX Honda civic
85,000 miles, oil changes on a 4/5k intervals, brake fluid changed, transmission oil changed.
Only issue our starter went out at 75,000 miles.
Great car.

Thank you
The 2016-18 Honda Civics do have issues with the AC no matter what trim/engine. Just to let you know. 😉
Honda extended AC warranty for an extra 10 years.
Hi, oh ok. 🙂
