Hi Scotty, I want to buy a used Honda civic with low miles (45,000-50,000). Is there any specific Civics years I should stay away from?
Stay away from the years which were notorious for having oil dilution problems in their turbo engines.
Scotty has a whole video on it (Honda oil dilution problems).
I’d get a Civic with Honda’s reliable NA engine.
Agree with moderator. Look for non-turbo engines. The newer LX models still have 2.0 liter engines that should be very reliable.
Get the oldest Honda Civic you can find with the lowest miles. I love the Civics during the 90's up to 2002. I really do not like the Civic after that. If you can drive manual transmission, that's even better. Also consider the Acura Integra of the same years. The engines were a little better built than the Civic.
