I Got a New Car! - 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback EX 1.5 Turbo

[@vermontvermont9292]

Congrats! I chose an EX coupe 2019 over everything else.

[@JamesFixIt]

Congrats on the coupe! I’m actually more of a coupe fan, but living the dad life required the 5-door 😆

[@vermontvermont9292]

@@JamesFixIt yeah, I hear ya. I had a 2dr mk4 golf when my son was young. Got rid of that quick lol.

[@aryanjan2736]

I have the samething 2018 Honda Civil ex. I wish it had the CD player just like other cars.

[@JamesFixIt]

I honestly thought I'd miss the CD Player, but haven't whatsoever, as I'm able to load all my music onto my phone. If not, there's always youtube :)

Currently Watching this video trying to upgrade from my scion tc😂😂

[@JamesFixIt]

Hehe it’s a great upgrade over Scion. Huge movement in overall quality and drive feel. The added MPG’s are also a bonus! Good luck!!!

[@ProdigyAuggie]

@@JamesFixIt its now 2 weeks later... I'm getting the 2023 civic hatchback! only thing is I'm debating that cvt transmission inside the exL or the manual in the sport touring?🤔

[@arniecabintoy946]

Had the 2019 hatch sport touring turbo

[@PartyRockAnthem14]

I really want this car but in red. I hope in a couple months I can still find one!

[@jamesgand828]

Is it worth it to upgrade to the EX-L? I feel like I would upgrade the seats to leather and the steering wheel also. Might as well let it be stock

[@d50mx6]

I'm probably buying the 2020 EX this weekend. I really liked how it drove. But I didn't get a good test of the stereo. I'm no audiophile but I'm worried it won't be as good as my 2004 Mazda 6's Bose stereo. Is the stereo system on this car good enough?

[@kevinmacgregor8029]

This is exactly my only question as well, I’m getting the ex 2020 ex in couple weeks. I love my current 2010 Nissan Maxima sv Bose System so much and I’m unsure how the 2020 ex will compare. I’m assuming it won’t be nearly as good with only 180 watts and no sub. Did you end up getting this car and if so how is it?

[@d50mx6]

I’m very happy with the car. As far as the stereo, for me it does the job. It sounds much better through my iPhone or Bluetooth than through the radio. At times I think it’s better than my 2004 Mazda 6’s Bose stereo and at times I think it’s not. If I were to do it again I would have also test drove the Sport Touring (not just for the stereo) but that one seemed too expensive for me.

[@kevinmacgregor8029]

ddmx6 thanks for the response! That’s good to hear. I’m in the same boat as you, I did test drive the sport touring and loved it, just too expensive, I think I’ll be very happy with the EX. Not looking to spend an extra 3-4K

[@kevindsmith10000]

Was the 50mpg you got highway with eco mode on or off?

[@JamesFixIt]

ECO Mode on :)

[@salgilead2801]

How’s it holding up , im sure by now you’re aware of the 1.5 tl engine problem, any oil dilution ?

[@JamesFixIt]

Oh yes :(. It's actually been great, aside from the AC, which Honda finally recalled. I've had the condenser replaced three times now, but they did give me an extra 10 year warranty. The mechanic said I can go back in 10 years and have it replaced if I wanted to. No oil dilution...yet :/

[@tk_figmob]

@@JamesFixIt just got one, everything great but the air-conditioning. Same issues 🔥

[@robertgraham5486]

Sounds like you wanted the sport,why didn't you get it ?

[@bobsmith9603]

Robert Graham He was saying how he wanted a nicer interior with the ex trim. At that point he should’ve just went with the sport touring..

[@kylepraseutsack6422]

I like the sport too but if you want everything on it have to get a touring model and it cost alot more.

[@kaycee6237]

Hello! Where did you buy your trunk mat? :)

[@JamesFixIt]

Hello! Actually this was thrown in by Norm Reeves Honda along with the floor mats after my haggling :):):). You can purchase one through your local dealership and there are aftermarket mats that you can find online.

[@reaganimperial2759]

Update on the civic

[@kentzheng565]

this is a 2018 model and it has 200k miles ?? what the

[@hatsimulator]

his old car had 200k. this one has 199.8 lol

[@jorelthomas4342]

Where you get the protective mat for the floor in the trunk ?

[@JamesFixIt]

Actually, this was a free add on (along with the rubber floor mats and mud guards) from the dealer...after some haggling that is :)

[@ChristianTangoan]

There's a ex model near me for 19.5k. Should I go for it? Also how's the engine doing on your car? There's apparently some issues with the Honda 1.5T engines.

[@jn7244]

Yes, there was a problem with oil dilution in the 1.5t but that seems to be fixed in the recent releases

[@serenaincendia4327]

Do you know if it was fixed in a recall? Looking at this exact car

[@jaerg91]

@@jn7244 does the 2018 model has that problem?

[@kylepraseutsack6422]

So does the ex just have apple car play and not android car play?

[@TD_JR]

Engine has about 20 more horsepower, moonroof, larger display, some extra tech ... few other things the LX doesn't.

[@fortyglock9698]
