2016 Honda Civic EX or EX-T? Differences, features & EQUIPMENT

[@MissBrittanyboo2191]

I just bought the EX last weekend I love it i had a Honda Fit for 5 years and wanted more power and this does everything I need.

[@malva6176]

Wow I just bought a EX last month honestly o like faster cars but I have to say the EX is pretty good as well.

[@kuamilonurl7065]

Hi

[@wildlaw711]

After driving the 2017 EX and EX-T yesterday, I went with the EX-T. The extra bang for the buck was worth it to me. The turbo brings the Civic to life quickly. The added extras are icing on the cake. I got mine in blue / black. Sweet.

[@crazyelvis14]

How's it running so far? I'm thinking of getting one myself. Any troubles?

[@obvinpro]

How's the Turbo doing? Have you experienced the so-called oil dilution? And what would be your advice now?

[@tqsuited]

@@obvinpro I've had a turbo model for over a year now (purchased 2nd hand) and no issues with oil dilution, runs great. Just don't rev it too hard when first running, let the engine temp settle and you're good. It's really only a concern in cold climates, but as I said just gentle revs initially should avoid that issue.

[@Tacomadome24]

i bought a EX-T last week, and damn I love this car; and that's coming from owning a 08 R/T Charger.

[@lancercool1992]

+Tacomadome24 you just told me more about the charger than the civic

[@MrTahoeKush]

I just got one too and they sure are great! Good job. The remote start is so sweet

[@Limitbreak09]

How long it takes you to get from 0-60 mph?

[@vegaswajeel1]

Have you had any issues with the car so far? Im hearing alot of bad things with that car, especially with the electronics.. Have you experienced anything?

[@LiamsComment]

I just bought a 2017 EXT yesterday. I effin love it!!!

[@swanradha]

I got the EX love it. My advice is to stay away from too many features....that's what causes issues later on. But again that's my opinion.

[@The_Morning_Brew]

My 2017 Honda Civic EX-T has been a thrill to drive for the past 5 years. Absolutely love all the features and the smoothness on the road! My only gripe is the AC condenser recall because many Civic models from 2016-2020 were affected. My AC stopped working during the summer of this year and it just blew in warm air. Thankfully Honda acknowledged the problem and added an extended warranty. Even after getting my condenser replaced, I'm wary that this issue might arise again because many Civic users have reported that this problem repeats itself.

[@JustRoyalty]

I am planning on getting an EX-T that is the same year as yours, but from a ‘buy here pay here.’ I’m just scared to buy it tho.

[@killerseddie8295]

Just bought a 2018 EX-T with 24,000 miles on it and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

[@BigKWS]

Does that car have adaptive cruise control on it like my 2019 Civic LX? Or is it just standard cruise control?

[@rithylon9705]

Bought the EX-T coupe. Love the tail lights! Completely different from the rest.

[@Knockaswagga]

Same

[@kevinwalz6022]

I really appreciate this video, because of it I made my decision to purchase a Civic EX-T and I love it!

[@GiftedGrizzly]

Just purchased a 2017 Black E-xt. Traded in a 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport, and I love the car so far.

[@crazyelvis14]

How is it so far? I'm thinking of purchasing one myself. Any troubles?

[@Eldaino999]

It's actually more than a matter of power. The base 2.0 liter engine is not direct injected....which means better engine longevity. Direct injected engines build up carbon deposits over time and its kind of an unspoken maintenance issue that dealers don't speak of. Now, its more than likely not any bigger of an issue than it is on other D.I. vehicles, but its still there and Honda doesn't implement anything to counteract it long term. I had my heart set on a hatch, but it only comes with the 1.5....so it rules it out. Ex sedan it is. (disclaimer, i've owned several d.i. vehicles, and if you keep your cars less than 50-60k, its a non issue. But for those of us who want the cheapest and most reliable long term honda experience, the 2.0 is the way to go.)

[@kaurkaur5744]

Dain Laguna you are 100 % right . I booked my 2017 honda ex today and because there was only a difference of 1000 dollar in ex and ex -t , i called my mechanic and asked him if i should go with turbo . He said turbo is good for first 3 years but later it starts to burn more engine oil and if you dont keep a check on it , then that can damage your engine and it brings up to 1000 or 1500 dollar fixing cost . He advised me to go with ex because i dont drive too much on highway . So he said go with ex . I ordered my car today 2017 ex honda civic , i love thelook of the car . I also added a spoiler to ex , which comes standard with ex - t . So excited for my new car . After reading your comment i feel much better that its good i dint go with turbo . Tx .

not only the 2.0 has longitivity but the base LX has a volume nob 😁

[@jasminehumble7994]

Really appreciate the information delivered in this video! I fell in love with an ex-t but the ex would be nicer on my budget. Knowing where the differences are, I think an ex will make me just as happy even though it isn't quite as powerful.

[@biohacker2781]

Just got the EX-T in Charcoal grey, I fucking love it.

[@vegaswajeel1]

Have you had any issues with it so far? I hear bad things about the electronic system..

[@biohacker2781]

Sometimes the interior lights blink on and off. I'm gonna ask Honda about it for my next service. Other than that the car has been great.

[@lol-ly4su]

Did it ever have oil dilution problems?

super helpful video but can you make a video comparing the Civic EXT with EXL? thank you.

[@ZillaSlides96]

Hey man awesome video!! I just see that there is way too much over exposure from the camera so it was killing the beauty of the burgundy civic. I got myself the ext and overall it's a badass car!!

[@ChefDomH]

can't wait for your video on the coupe preferably in the lime green

[@elvistakang8800]

can someone please tell me the transmission of Honda EX-T it's automatic or manual?

[@Azn025]

Manual is standard on the EX-T, CVT is optional

[@JustinAdams84]

I am disappointed the regular EX model doesn't even have an available add on option of SiriusXM and most base models now come with HD Radio standard as its the way FM is trying to stay relevant with iPhone and Android drivers and keep them on the tuner compared to turning on their music apps.

Be careful with that year. Seems like the 2016, being the first of the 10 series has a lot of problems associated with it. Hope it works out tho!

[@aaronnava3254]

@@FunnyFavor Appreciate the insight. What are some of the problems with that year? I also found a 2019 Honda Civic LX for $13k. I'm thinking about just getting that one instead.

[@FunnyFavor]

@@aaronnava3254 ah yeah, just people talking about the build quality, mainly talking about things seeming loose, rattling, electronic devices seem to be finicky, that big problem with fuel entering the oil system (although I believe they are doing like an unofficial recall for certain models.) Its not a bad car per say customer satisfaction just doesnt seem as stable ad the newer models (although time will tell right?)

[@FunnyFavor]

To be honest, it's just smart practice to not get the first iteration of any new model, so if the 2019 intrigues you, I bet you wont regret it

[@nicholejones3876]

Get the EX-T it’s awesome 😁

[@naturallylii]

I want the Ex-T because of the heated seats lol I'm anemic and I hate being cold. But I've heard ppl have been having problems with Ex-t's and up so I will just have to settle for the Ex without the heated seats.

[@maxtoher2607]

The silver ex-l with black leather is the way to go

[@EdwardYourHondaManTomilloso]

+max Toher That's what I ended up getting :)

[@michaelhorgan9525]

Honda dealers rarely stock sensing models in my area.

[@thtech2133]

Some say the turbocharged engine is not as reliable as the naturally aspirated.

[@allenyee4782]

Turbo engine tend to have more build up too so it would be interesting to see how reliability this 1.5 engine is.

[@traviswade4836]

what I found out when I wanted the ext in that burgundy night pearl, went to many dealers that color is hard to find with Honda sensing. Honda sensing was important to me and had to get a color that was my third choice. I was told that the burgundy night pearl don't have the Honda sensing system. Just wanted to mention certain colors of civics my or not have the options you want.

[@carlk8647]

I remember in 2000- 2001 the benz s class was offering a parking sensor that beeped when you got to close for something like $600. My, times are changing quick. Those people who spent 90k on a car that is worth 10k now must be kicking themselves lol

[@allenyee4782]

I see your point but there is a level of quality Benz offers that the Civic won't give you. Sit in a Benz and a Civic and you'll see why people will pay triple-quadruple the price for a Benz. Of course this is assuming your financial well off. It would be stupid to buy a Benz if you don't even own a house yet.

[@hkay12307]

I got the EX-L which has the 1.5l turbo and has leather seats.

[@SiddhantParkar]

I am confused between these two. I am willing to pay an extra 1k for heated seats etc also the turbo engine seems sweet. But i heard the regular has a much better engine life and that turbo engines dont survive very long. Can someone please confirm?

[@boobs2323]

im also confused.. but my guts is telling me te EX.. and ya its true turbo dont last long.. but its a Honda.. so you can trust it more than others.. and i dont think the'll take a risk on not offering it cause almost every model of theirs have turbos now!

[@SiddhantParkar]

Yeah i really don't want to risk it. Plus i am not even interested in the extra power. I mostly will go with the EX.

[@Christian-og2qh]

Siddhant Parkar I can tell you that a turbo engine will be working a little bit harser, but its up to debate about if it will destroy your engine or not. If you search up used civic si's (they have turbos) or any other car that comes with a turbo, you can see them reach pretty high mileage, into the 200,000's. The big thing about having a turbo car is that you just have to pay extra attention to maintenance. Ignoring maintenance on a turbo engine vs a non turbo engine will be worse.

[@crazyelvis14]

It's actually a rumor so far, since they are still new technology, there is no actual evidence to support that claim. But they should last you till 200,000 miles and then who knows what happens from there

[@madpistol]

[@yrureadingthisname]

Hey y’all wondering if someone can answer question I got here. I’m looking at a used 2018 Honda Civic. Here’s the catch: The rims are the EXT rims, it has dual climate control, it has heated seats, and it has Sirius radio. All this led me to believe that it was an EXT but when I open the hood it had a 2.0 L NA engine. As far as I know these are not options that were available for the EX. It’s cloth seats, manual adjusted, no fog lights although the openings are there on the bumper, there is just no inserts. They are empty. Car is mint otherwise, not a scratch. Under 18,000 miles. So what am I looking at here LOL? Any help is greatly appreciated thanks. As a side note: I’m actually quite happy that the engine isn’t the 1.5 L turbo as I plan to get lots of life out of this car. I’m just confused as to why it’s in there when everything else points to this being an EXT model.

[@mgrabo1024]

He forgot to add that the Civic EX-T has dual exhaust.

[@davemunoz9742]

I wish the ex had fog lights, not a fan of turbo engines, not as reliable plus this one in particular had oil dilution problems
