My 2018 (10th gen) 1.5 liter turbo CVT bought new currently has 140,800 miles averaging 36.2 mpg. Other than the AC failure at approx 118,000 (under extended warranty for known issue) I’ve had no problems. The most expensive maintenance I’ve done so far were replacing the brake pads, rotors, tires, and the water pump, drive belt and PCV. I maintain religiously and plan to keep my 10th gen until the “wheels fall off”.

[@BCautosolutions]

That’s awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing

[@3vlogs487]

Our 18 EX-T has 56k on it and the ac has gone bad, door handles had a short and kept killing the battery, alternator went out. At least I’m getting 39.5 mpg right now.

When I got mine I had a choice between a sport and a touring. Even though I could afford the touring one I opted to get the sport because I had a gut feeling that the 2.0 was gonna be more reliable. Guess I was right

[@Kickenwing13]

All of my mechanic friends said the same thing. My powertrain engineer / mechanic brother pointed out that I maintained my 13 cruise echo and had zero issues for $140,000 mi, and it has a turbo. He said go for the one five, my dad pointed out that he bought his first new car back in the day and sacrificed on a bunch of options and paid it off quickly and then he did and he was like oh, wish I would have had those options. But man 11 months ago. I swear I went to bed with a headache every night making that decision between the awesome looking blacked out sport in blue or Sonic Gray, or trying to find the sport touring in a six-speed. Six-speed. Wow I don't miss all that stress involved with trying to find one, waiting for it to get built. I know I would be happy with a 2.0

[@TaylorExchange]

I was in the camp where I couldn’t afford the touring. Glad I didn’t borrow the extra for the touring. Also rocking the boost blue 🫡

Its a shame too cause the 2.0 is not on the touring trim. Civic hatchbacks have one of the highest mpg, resale value and cargo space of a sub 30k car and still has good features.

Thanks for the information - Mice seem to love oxygen sensors in my area have repaired 3 or 4 of them. Is there anything you think can be done to reduce the risk of the head gasket issues?

[@BCautosolutions]

Make sure the coolant resivoir is always topped off. If the system is running even slightly low on coolant that raises the risk of higher temps which lead to premature head gasket failures. Also not using regular as detonation will also increase the risk of premature failures.

[@ThunderShoe]

Thanks for this video. My lease on my 2020 Civic Sport Hatchback is ending next March so I'm starting to explore options for what's next. I really want to stick with a manual transmission, so my options are limited. I'm thinking to perhaps just buy my current car at the end of the lease given the crazy market with low inventory inflated prices all over for the 2022 Civic Sport Hatchback MT, Sport Touring MT, and Si. At the same time, given my life circumstances, leasing is a good option right now to keep more cash around and also since I may want/need a different type of car in a few years. What are your thoughts or suggestions on whether to stick with my current car or jump into a new lease? If a new lease, which car would you recommend? Do you think waiting for the 2023s will help with avoiding some of the issues? Thanks in advance!

[@BCautosolutions]

The 2023 model will have most kinks worked out by then with the exception of the 1.5t potential/probably head gasket failures long term. That won’t change ever because it’s simply a design flaw imo. With how everything is I would say buy your car out and get the extended warranty (Honda care) none of the aftermarket ones. Hope this helps.

[@ThunderShoe]

@@BCautosolutions This definitely helps, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be buying the car out. How much can I expect to pay for the Honda Care warranty? Should I work with a dealership to purchase that? One additional question: my front left bumper lip/splitter is detached and the plastic is cracked in places (I think this happened when someone hit me while parking or pulling out) - is this easy enough to fix myself with aftermarket parts or should I take it to a shop?

[@reginaalear]

I went online and got Honda care warranty quotes. There are several dealers that will send it to your email. In my experience they are a lot cheaper than the dealership you purchase the car from.

[@BCautosolutions]

@@reginaalear 💯 and that’s a great tip. Salesmen tend to take advantage of those up charges .

[@reginaalear]

@@BCautosolutions my dealer wanted 2,800 for a third party warranty. I was able to find HondaCare online for half of that and 0 deductible. They wanted $100 for the third party one.

I have a 22 EX 1.5T that has an intermittent shudder around 1.5-2k when rolling to a stop. Seems to come from the engine, rotors and brakes were fine at my most recent maintenance. 26k on the odometer. Any thoughts on what this could be?

[@BCautosolutions]

No, bring it in, see if they can capture something on a snap shot

[@kimpossible2739]

Thank you for the video. I got mine last year, the finishing is poor, tick sound from dashboard and infotainment, took it to dealership 3 times but still the same, saying that these are inevitable or whatever. We placed some felt tape around the gap and problem solved. There was one day that almsot all warning lights up one by one, parking brake cannot be released, towed it to the dealership, they said the battery had some issue, got replaced, after 1-2 days later, the car won't start and the weird sound come up again when brake pedal was pressed. It was drivable so we took it to the dealership and they changed some kind of module. My father had 2008 accord and even until now he had no issues at all, accord and civic is different model but I am so disappointed with Honda, will never buy it again. We had loaner car from dealership (hatchback) while the module was replaced, the car was making so loud rattle sound. Sadly it is so hard to buy a new car now so we will wait until this supply issue is over, which will take several years probably

[@BCautosolutions]

Hey sorry about your experience with your car. First year models tend to be pretty problematic until all the kinks are worked out. With that being said, it sounds like your dealer didn’t want to help the situation as well (shame on them) hopefully going forward the issues with the car are minimal and hopefully non existent. Thanks for watching.

[@matrix2004]

An update on the turbo issues? Are you seeing these on the 23s too? I'm waiting for the hybrid.

[@BCautosolutions]

We don’t see an alarming rate of turbo failures but we do see some. No turbos yet on the 23s

[@razzz08]

Great video as always👍Do you think its worth waiting for the 2.0L Hybrid Civic?

Never ending connectivity issues with Honda and Apple/android especially when a new version of iOS/android is released. Try to forget both devices on car and phone and re pair see if it helps.

[@diehardknicksfansinceiwass2683]

How about the Honda Accord 2.0t? Actually getting my first car and I’m deciding between the 2.0t and the civic 2.0 non turbo engine. I want something reliable that’ll last a while with minimal issues. How are Hondas hybrids as well don’t those use CVT Engines ?

[@BCautosolutions]

Either 2.0s are fine. The 2.0t will be a lot more powerful and non comparable to the civic 2.0 na. I would personally get the accord 2.0t just becuase I like the pep, but for fuel economy deff the civic.

[@journeyfms]

The 2.0 Civic gets pretty terrible MPG from my experience of regular highway miles. I get about 32.9mpg so about 33mpg highway. The 10th gen under the same driving situations and the same 2.0 engine can reach 36mpg. The 2.0t Accord my friend has gets very similar gas milage to my 11th gen Civic with the 2.0. Also, the Accord is a much more fun car, but you pay a lot more for it.

[@psewgobind]

@@journeyfms My 10th gen with 6MT get about 36mpg if I'm pushing around 80mph. At 50mph (country highways) I can get 50mpg. I'm surprised 11th Gen isn't doing the same.

[@Trapphausmusic]

Hello, would you recommend getting a ‘22 civic sport hatchback 2.0 NA, ‘22 sport touring 1.5t, or a 10th gen 2.0 or 1.5t? I heard the 10th gen 1.5t have oil dilution problems and they suggest using a particular oil.

[@BCautosolutions]

I wouldn’t worry about oil dilution on the 1.5t. What I would worry about is injector and head gasket failures. With that said I would still personally get the 1.5t over the 2.0 but you run more risks of higher maintenance costs/issues long term. If that’s not something you want to deal with, then the 2.0 is for you 👍🏻

[@Seth-fo6rf]

I got the 23 sport 2.0 and I’ll tell you it’s definitely quick enough to get up and going. Usually CVT’s will have a “lag” but this one doesn’t. I pass people with ease on the highway

[@Kickenwing13]

I've had my 22 sport touring hatch 6 speed for 11 months. I'm about to hit 14,000 mi. If I'm being picky there is a rattle somewhere. Maybe in the steering column I haven't been able to figure out. The people that ride with me. Don't notice it, but I do. Clutch isn't the greatest thing on earth but the gearbox feels amazing. I love this car. Little bit of wear on the leather seat on the side closest to the driver side door from me getting in and out of it a million times a day. I love it, there are times I still wonder about the GTI or potentially the SI. But I love this car.

[@BCautosolutions]

Yeah I hear ya about the rattles. Most people won’t notice them but I can pick them up failry easy. Clutch is a known fact to be a weak point. Trans is usually pretty solid unless people are out there shifting like mad people lol. You can always go test drive the upgrade or competition just to see, doesn’t hurt 👍🏻

[@motto666]

It still has oil dilution problem for the 1.5t? I watched a video on 2022 crv 1.5 and the owner said still has oil dilution issue.

[@BCautosolutions]

It’s all on your driving habits. Oil dilution isn’t isolated to the 1.5t or just Honda.

[@sk8terdude013]

Hey, for the 1.5t have you seen anything on oil dilution on these? Supposedly Honda fixed the issues but just curious

[@BCautosolutions]

Yeah it’s not an issue. By design do engines all dilute although people will never ever see unacceptable dilution levels. What I would worry about and will affect a lot more people would be premature head gasket failure.

[@sk8terdude013]

@@BCautosolutions would the premature head gasket failure be caused by the DI and the turbo causing too much pressure?

[@BCautosolutions]

@@sk8terdude013 I believe it’s a combination of low octane (causing detonation and increasing chamber pressures) along with very thin/weak head bolts.

Since the release after installation, my car feels funny when I drive. Doesn't sound premium. It suddenly started making slight noise when I push throttle and try to catch up the speed. I thought I was being paranoid, perhaps it's because turbo engine usually makes noise but Before, the cabin used to be quieter, I'd barely hear any noise but now it feels like engine is trying harder to reach to that speed.

K-Tuner has a hop up kit for the Civic N/A 2.0L engine to bring it up to non Si 1.5L turbo engine power and torque. If the tweak and Cali rate it for the HR-V Sport, you would have the extra power on demand without the turbo related problems. That was the number one complaint by people, as not having enough power, often without even driving it. Just like the suspension and steering on the Sport is lighter than the Civic, because most buyers eould want more comfort in the HR-V as opposed to a Civic. But aftermarket companies like Eibach could come out with stiffer springs and sway bars for better handling. Another big plus for the new HR-V. No auto start/stop feature. Yay!

@@jjacob25101 hrv is a great car and by far Hondas most maintence friendly car. My ONLY gripe with it is the lack of power. Luckily the upside of that is there in minimal wear and tear. I think the hrv is a great car.

[@jjacob25101]

@@BCautosolutions The previous HR-V was good, but it was a bigger Fit. The main problem was that it was underpowered. At least the Sport should have had the 2.0L. Now it does. To me it's adequate for what it is. All these keyboards warriors seem to think everything has to have a lot of power. This is not a Civic. It's an compact SUV with lots of improvements. Remember, even the previous performance version of the Corolla and Civic were sbout 130 horsepower or less before that. People don't understand the perspective of a car company. They primarily mske transportation conveyances, and want to make some profit. The rest is secondary, though they would lije to come out with vehicles people woukd lije, ut realistically, it would cost a lot more to put all they want in it, or certain things at initial launch. I know exactly what I would do to make a performance HR-V, but it's not gonna happen, because it would overshadow the Civic Si. Basically, I would start withba Civic Sport Touring Hatchback type upgrades to the Sport in AWD with similar Suspension, brake and drivetrain upgrades from the Si, with the LSD, but put in the detuned Type R 2.0L Turbo engine to get about 260-280 horsepower. That would be way more than enough without encroaching into Type R territory from the factory.

My 2022 Civic camera LKAS system will constantly pull the car pretty hard to the right and then the Lane Departure system will shake the steering wheel as the car is trying to pull itself out of the lane. Basically renders the entire system useless as it's harder to fight the LKAS system to keep the car centered than it is to just drive regularly. The LKAS system gets so close (often goes completely over the lane lines into the right lane) to the right lane line that many times, I would sideswipe a vehicle if I do not constantly apply a decent amount of pressure on the steering wheel to steer to the left. I do a lot of highway driving so this is a large problem to me. I informed my Honda Dealership about this issue and they test drove the car. The mechanic came to the same conclusion, but did not recalibrate or replace the camera. Instead, they told me the car is supposed to pull to the right. I have experience with several Hondas including the last generation LKAS system, and none have ever pulled out of the lane like the 2022 Civic I have does. While yes, ping pong is mostly gone in the new system, the forced lane departure is much worse. Also, I noticed that the climate control which goes from "LO" to "HI" operates strangely. From Lo to about 85, cold air usually comes out of the vents. At 86, slightly warmer air comes out, and at Hi, very hot air comes out. I would have figured there would be more of a mix in temperature instead of going from cold air to very hot with just one increase on the control. To sum the last part up, I can never find a comfortable temperature on the 2022 Civic climate control, but rather have to keep switching between cold and hot or adjust the fan speed to utilize the sun to heat my car through the windows and use low fan speed ac to cool it to a comfortable temperature.

[@BCautosolutions]

Yeah I do like the lane keep assist at all and find it rather annoying and turn them off on all my Hondas/acuras. It’s not a perfect system but if you feel there is an issue still, take it to another dealer for a second opinion. The hvac system also isn’t perfect and like you I have never found an ideal temp setting.

[@sopechuong]

I have the pulling to the right issue as well ex model

The 1.5t vs Jetta is a tough choice although setting aside the headgakset probable issue I think overall the civic should be/is the more reliable car and cheaper to afford long term. Unless if your leasing then it shouldn’t really matter and go for whichever you like better aesthetically.

​@@BCautosolutions I test drove both. The new Jetta is quieter and the trim I drove felt more solid than the Touring 2022 Civic. The Civic has a nicer looking interior and a better infotainment system. Both cars are maybe 2 seconds or slightly more faster than the 2.0L Civic doing 0 to 60.

The L15 is a economy engine which isn't really built correctly to turn out 250HP+ performance. There are tons of video's of folks modifying these 11th gens and blowing head gaskets and all. Just save up and buy a K20c engine car, like a 2.0t Accord or Type-R (if you can swing the $40k). The L15 cannot handle the added power like the K20C's can. So save your self the heart ache. Even the 10th Gen civics' are know to not handle modifying much. Just remember this is a nice $30k car that can get 40 MPG, and has a little pep.

I’ve had CRVs since 2012, never had an engine problem, had a 2010 which was the 2.4L, 2016 same engine, 2020 which has the 1.5T. Very noticeable fuel economy improvement with the Turbo. I often use 91 or 93 octane fuel. There was an oil dilution problem in 2017-2018 but that is not an issue with my 1.5T, I have 75K on it now. Also, the 1.5T was available in 2016 on the Touring model only so it’s worth the wait to just get the trim you want. Don’t worry all these car technologies will eventually become standard. There was a time when power windows were a luxury feature, air conditioning too. I know a lot of people like the non-aspirated engines but if you live in a cold climate it sure is nice how quickly they warm up. It takes me about 3 minutes in very cold weather for the car to warm up, my 2.4L took about 8-10 minutes on a cold day. Best feature ever… I only need 10 minutes to get to work and now you can use remote start if you want, or just drive and you’re able to use the heater…. There’s nothing like it… the heated seats and steering wheel comes in handy too

Appreciate your input 🫡

[@Alex.McManus]

Will electrical tape solve the problem?

[@BCautosolutions]

It’ll be a great help for sure

[@Promisedland_garage]

My brother had A accord with that 1.5t, and nothing but problems specialy winter time sensors ,harness etc he traded in because had to go continuously to dealership

[@BCautosolutions]

What did he “upgrade” to?

[@Promisedland_garage]

@@BCautosolutions Acura RDX a spec 2020

[@BCautosolutions]

@@Promisedland_garage nice. The 2.0t 10at alone is worth every penny. Congrats

[@dajigao9003]

anyone have the weak ac problem？ new 2022 civic I'm sweating on the hot summer day. Disappointed

[@BCautosolutions]

Haven’t had many is any issues with the ac. Take a thermometer to the center vent and take a reading. Should be low 40s after about 5 min

[@GrinderTV]

A lot of steering issues...they are apparently replacing our entire rack (we just dropped it off this morning at the dealer). At speeds above 30mph the wheel becomes almost sticky and a lot of complaints about difficulty steering.

[@BCautosolutions]

Haven’t had any complaints here of that but I’ll keep an eye out. Appreciate your input and lmk how it goes for you.

[@mustafaunal8740]

Yes we also do have quite a bit of steering problems with 11th gen here in Turkey. Luckly I didn’t have with mine yet.

[@Locallybuiltauto]

To sum it up for the impatient people: 1.5t has too many problems just get a 2.0L NA

[@BCautosolutions]

Yes that’s correct lol

[@waltchan]

Time to go back to American cars if Honda's 1.5L turbo is still less-reliable today. Not worth going Japanese anymore.
