Do americans realy bitch about a 100$ replacement part? Thats less than a full tank bro

"beat up / abuse a car over and over again and nothing will happen" is a crock of sh*t. Even a reliable car like a Honda will still suffer issues. Any car.

Hey Rob, those 2013-15 civics looked nice still to this day

As an owner of a Mk5 GTI manual for 16 years, I can tell you that they are super reliable!

I bought a 99 Si in March of 1999. Had many others since and that 99 is still my favorite of all. I’ve had two RSX Type S 02 and 06 as well.

The seller did not lie . Your Civic is not a Type-R and is why the plastic tabs do not line up however the dimensions length and width of the front and rear i JDM H emblems is the same dimensions as your Non type R 8th gen Civic . Everyone living in a country that the FD2 type R was not available in that purchased those ( fake ) JDM emblems have to snip off the tabs . Other than that good tutorial hadnt thought about usung heat nor the fishing line to make the swap easier.

8th gen is easily the best

My List: EM1=FA5>FE1>FB2>EG6>EP3>FC1 For me the EM1 and FA5 are tied.

Do more research next time…so much incorrect info…

Dude thank you for this video. Thank you.

Got myself a 9th gen. I love it, curious as to how the other gens feel.

Where my 9th gen owners @🙋🏽‍♂️

DOOOOGGG

Im gonna put one on mine in a month or so to replace the stock AC.

slammed 8th gen gang

Got a tuned and fbo 8 gen makes about 218 whp and goven I’ve only driven a stock 9gen and a tuned ep3 I’m happy I got the 8 th gen just got a lot of annoying lol problems but so does everything 😂

idk i have both a 10th gen & 8th gen (fc3 & fa5) and honestly the turbo isn’t super bad, and it’s much easier to mod right out the gate imo

I think the 9th generation is the best. You can do a k20 engine heat swap with a few other mods and be really a nice naturally aspirated car. Or you can drop in a supercharger from Kraftwerks and be making over 350 whp.

why do you keep shoving your head into the camera lol

"A relaible platform you can really rely on"

An canadian saying European cars are unreliable is funny

I have a 05 wrx blob eye wagon. I would say the blobeye is my favorite for looks and Hawkeye would be a close second

Thanks 4 sharing

If anyone knows anything about drag racing.. that mustang on the strip was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen haha

How can you not mention the first 2 civic si?

8th gen 🔥

8th gen 8th gen 8th gen need i say more?

8th, 9th, and 10th gens

You can get a cold air intake and put a bypass

I just bought a mk5 gti after driving a 2014 tdi and the clutch and throw is way better. The suspension too.

Short answer no, just pour some money into it and you will probably be fine

Amazing value? Not anymore!

Looking to get a GTI, either mk6 or 7 depending on the pricing. Been doing my research on these and just couldn't really understand why there's such a love/hate relationship regarding these cars and their reliability. Your vid has definitely helped because most are honestly discouraging regarding these vehicles

vtec? for the love of turbos! I'm wondering if you can just adjust the wastegate on the turbo or even put a different turbo and see what kind of power gains can be had.

4th gen Si. Best looking. But you forgot about them. EF's are best.

Just picked up a 9th gen. It’s a pretty good balance with more modern features and DD ability but still has VTAAAACcCcCcc!

you should just hand it over to me

Back up from the camera when you're recording my guy

Are fiestas just not common in America and Canada? They’re all over the place in the UK. It’s everyone and their mum’s first car 🤣

When well maintained they are reliable tanks

I don’t want vw anymore…civic it is

Great video and fabulous location Ian. I moved away from full frame Canon and went fully Fuji cropped sensor. Never had any regrets. I find Fuji much more enjoyable to use. Don’t get me wrong the Canon system is cracking and the files are fabulous but it all got a bit boring and clinical. Now where’s the fun in that. Fuji for me from now on. It makes me want to go out take photographs. Cheers

Bought my 2008 Gti 3 years ago with 80k miles on it and haven't had any issues besides janky wiring and sensors

8th gen si is best because it's the last one with dual cam profile VTEC and a engine that can rev up to 8000rpm and to 8600rpm with a reflash. The 9th gen is good, but it's missing exhaust side VTEC so when doing a NA setup you can't make as much easily as the K20Z3. I feel like they should of put the K24A2 in the 9th gen instead if that was possible.

I just bought a 2010 WRX hatch limited with 161,000 mi. Bought it sight unseen. Had her take the vehicle to a mechanic. Did a compression test did everything, checked the timing chain and engine mounts. She was selling it for 9k Blue book was 11. The mechanic said if I didn't buy it he was going to. They're out there just don't find one that has been tuned by some young kid. Find one that was owned by a woman. You won't have any problems never buy a used car without checking the timing belt and engine mounts. 😎

So I got a 2002 wrx im 17 guy seem to not know anything on the car I did a lot to it replaced a lot just did cold air and put a intake to turbo on it didn’t start it woke up started it loud knock and rough idle seems like it low on power but the day before ran perfect could you help with some tips to what it could be??

Did you see that spider

Ep3 si didn’t have a 6 speed only rsx type s and type r

Bru stop moving your mouth that way I have to leave now

I wish the 7th generation SI came in the coupe body. The coupe was beautiful this generation.
