    I had a 10th gen hatch that was trouble free for 3 years. No reason to be delusional about the oil dilution problem. I had no issues with this well documented problem. I moved to a 2024 EX-L hatch four months ago. I love this generation a bit more; it’s more refined and as another reviewer said, if you’re over 50 you won’t be embarrassed to drive it. Only regret is that I could have paid less if I had waited until now to buy. Honda dealers here in Iowa have good inventory and are discounting some models including the Civic. I agree on the seats. I found these seats to be very comfortable on an all day road trip. Much better than the previous gen. Great review as always. You’re the best out there!

My kids have all had Civics and one has recently purchased an Accord, my brother in law has had a number of Pilots. One thing we all agree on is that they are a little pricey up front but provide a healthy return when sold privately. Honda are one of the biggest engine manufacturers in the world, cars, robots, motorbikes, sewing machines, jet engines, ATV's, lawn mowers etc reliability wise they are a prudent investment.

    The headbolt design isn't strong enough to maintain clamping pressure apparently? Plus, 180bhp from a 1.5l engine is a lot of internal cylinder pressure for 87 octane, it must be leaning heavily on the anti-knock engine management. I really wish they had kept the old K24 for this application, same real-world power level, proven design, much less complex.

    Great review! That fuel dilution issue is one disadvantage of all direct injection engines since gas is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber. When it runs cold, you’ll get more fuel atomization (unburned fuel mist) that gets into the engine oil, and when there’s too much gasoline in the engine oil over time (say a few months or several thousand kms), the oil viscosity will get thinner and not be able to protect the engine as well. What doesn’t help is Honda (and most OEMs today) specs a very thin engine oil to begin with, a 0W20, along with recommending an oil change interval that is way too long in light of tough operation conditions like excessive idling when getting coffee, more traffic jams, and short trips due to work from home. The best solution for durability is to change the engine oil more often than what the owner’s manual says. Aim for every 3 months or 5,000 to 6,000km with a good brand engine oil like the old days, and especially in winter, take the car on a highway run for at least 10 minutes once a week. 👌🏻

    I’m a huge Honda Civic fan… always have been. I haven’t been impressed with every single model or with every generation, but that doesn’t diminish my envisaging it’s potential. Although I’ve owned a CRX Si, my personal favourite Civic will forever remain to be … the base Civic 2-door hatchback manual (3-door?). Although hardly fancy or even fast, I have always found them to be an extremely practical, simple, very inexpensive to run/maintain and were incredibly well priced… all whilst being fun to drive. These newer Civics have sorta lost that ‘magic formula’, especially when it comes to size, options/equipment and PRICE. I still believe them to be great (most highly recommendable) cars, but I continue to wish that they … or anyone could, replicate those simple core values of offering a top tier economy motorcar at a price anyone (even youthful part-timers) could afford… that was FUN to drive. Perhaps I, especially as of late, should get used to abandoning that Dream. Thanks for the video.

    Civics are cool. I like the outgoing generation best. My father had an '07. I drive a '15 CR-Z right now. Good car. I know people, and some of the purists don't like it, but it serves my needs, and I think it looks great. I've never driven a CR-X, so I can't compare the two as far as experience goes. I know one criticism was that it doesn't capture the spirit of the original, but I wouldn't know. But as far as the new Civics, they do look nice, but I think they look more like an Accord than a Civic.

    In the market for a hybrid, can't wait for the Civic hybrid to compare to Corolla hybrid. Currently driving a 2001 Honda CRV - getting a average of 10L/100km. Very low maintenance - 2 oil changes a year. 295000 km. My in-laws bought a 2024 CRV Hybrid and it's very quiet, they paid a premium though, very pricey.

My local dealership and Honda Canada were useless the majority of the time in helping me solve the issues with their product. I wanted to try something else other than Toyota and I went back after a year and a half. Beautiful car but it definitely wasn't worth it towards the end.

    I've narrowed my next car down to the Civic or the Corolla; reliability is important to me. Aside from the price premium, the thing that disappoints me about Honda is they seem to nickel and dime more when it comes to features. Wired Apple Car Play in 2024? And you have to go all the way up to the top Touring trim just to get some of the very basic safety features like rear cross traffic alert.

    Randisney6151 you are better off with a Corolla but also you don’t need top trim, and also you mentioned that you find wired Apple CarPlay and android auto as ancient, that’s another problem. Most of the reviewers review the top trims because that’s what the car brands will give them. A smart shopper normally will get a trim above the base model because most of the comfort creature features are already there that one uses everyday. This applies to most brands and also consider tire sizes before purchase. Myself I got a 2020 Corolla LE that I have owned since 2020. One feature for instance that I don’t use is lane keep assist. The feature is pretty much useless during the winter months when the roads are covered with snow and all you need is heated seats. I know some people may want heated seats but personally that’s something I can love without. Also too many electronics in a vehicle mean more problems down the road long term. Keep that in mind. You can get the top trim Honda if you really want it but honestly lower trims can give you what you need and use… not want.

    It's a decent car and a good choice in the segment, but it is pricey and there have been some issues with them. If I were buying in this segment, I'd buy the Corolla Hybrid. The top trim is about $1300 more, but is AWD, gets incredible fuel economy (some US users have experienced 60+ mpg with relative ease) and is the most reliable vehicle made.

A 2017 MB GLC 4matic with similar mileage, condition and equipment was around $48K. Nicer vehicle to be sure but now worth around 16K for a $32 hit. A Quick Look at a Ford Escape Titanium. Retail for $33K now worth $13K. The point is that purchasing a vehicle, depreciation has to be considered as a part of total cost of ownership. While Hondas and Toyotas due cost more in all most every instance you'll be much farther ahead. FWIW a Toyota RAV 4 Platinum Sport was about $37K and now worth around 19K
