So Uber, Lift, Uber Eats, DoorDash, Instacart. One of my Uber drivers claimed he makes over $100K just driving people around and he said he racks up the miles.
Its mostly highway miles so take that into account...there was an 9th gen that was passed 500k miles when it was traded it in, and the guy traded it in for another 9th gen 🤣
In stock form these turbo L15s are holding up ok. Some owners are experiencing head gasket failures from stretched head studs. (Mostly Accords for some reason) DON'T TUNE THEM! Even if the head studs are upgraded, the rods and rod bolts will fail above 250 lb-ft.
Would you buy a year old Civic with just under 250k miles already on it? And what do you think about this dealership still charging almost $20k for it despite the mileage?!
Probably yes. Doing this milage in such short amount of time is only possible doing it on highway roads and there is probably not much wear on this car. A 250000 miles 5 years car is surely more to avoid than this car.
The dealership on that case probably overpriced a little bit, but not that much. These Civic/Accord/Corolla and Camry are very reliable cars, so in long term this Civic will probably hit the 500000 mark and still be very strong.
I bought Honda Civic 2024 sport sedan 4 days ago: squeaky sound right front side suspension, low tire pressure front left. After snow last night cruise control doesn't work until snow melted. Brand new car!?!
If it was a medical courier it's obviously a small independent company/contractor and the car was on standby 24/7. Plus driven on days off. Cop cars get high mileage in a few years. Whoever this person is, he/she is a responsible driver. No engine mods, mostly highway miles, or minimal driving on stop & go traffic. Still this is a S**t load of miles for a 2 year old car.
I have a 2020 with 225k and other than a belt tensioner and some shocks worn out it’s been great and I put 70% City miles, 30% highway, and went 160k on the first set of Honda brakes.
I hit 185,000 on my 2016 civic 1.5t. Highway miles mostly about 150 a day.. I traded it in because AC unit went out and I was concerned about high milage on turbo engine .. It be great to know which engine is most reliable for high miles.. 2.0L, 1.5T, 2.0LT.
@@aronisink1 after some experiences of mine… I would certainly think that the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine would probably be your best bet for reliability with higher miles. Whenever you throw boost at engines, although it’s fun, it will definitely shorten the life of some internal components
Is anyone having an issue when your at a stop light and the car turns off. I then let go of the brake and press the gas and I’m not able to move because the engine turns off
I have a 22 civic with almost 40k and have had next to no sticky steering issues. It feels very slightly notchy at high speeds, like it ticks over instead of smooth, but people saying it feels borderline dangerous or scary, not sure about anything like that. The only issue I’ve had was at a full stop, when the auto stop / start kicks in, the steering wheel has absolutely no give at all. Driven other cars with auto s/s that don’t turn off the motor for the steering.. very questionable engineering. Always turn it off anyways.
@@CastIronEric As in, at certain speeds, the steering wheel needs to be yanked in order to stop going straight. Almost like the power steering is out or severely weakened. Common reported issue for the 11th gen civic, and some have been reported for the Integra too.
Reliability means age of wires, parts, and weathering on them. Not just miles. In fact that is more important because mileage like what you mentioned was probably highway too. Pointless
A guiness Record Holder ?? the L15 engine is KOMPLETE JUNK. All contrary Bleats notwithstanding. This THE worst Engine that Honda has Ever built. ALL one has to do is see one of thiese POS engines taken apart. They are of Appalling design and construction... period
honda should give this owner a new civic for hitting 250k in one year. 1.5 turbo engine reliability.
hahaha, he got lucky with that engine
doubtful @@LowcountryMan
Honda needs to buy this and drive it around to show durability.
I forever question how they even got over 200K miles in just 1 year.
I'm a truck driver and got 140,000 last year 🤯. Can't imagine what they used the civic for.
A courier that makes since
And Medical Couriers make ALOTTTTT of money i wouldn’t be surprised if he paid off his car in 6 months
@@m57.ruslan the Medical Courier at the hospital i work at get paid 22 an hour and .90 cents a mile .

Is mostly accords cause the turbo boost is tuned higher
What if i wanted 220hp?

No. 20k is way overpriced.

Age is an important factor too😂. Most part broke not because of the mileage but because of the age

1.5 or 2.0?
1.5t?
Sad part is someone will buy this car just because it looks brand new .

The car may have been driven that much by more than one person. Maybe it was a courier service. Just a thought.
The articles says it was a medical driver who delivered things and drove from Houston to Dallas daily which equaled 250 miles approximately a day
I though he was a drug trafficker at first not gonna lie
600 miles a day
It’s brand new. If you have the car for 8 years seals and gaskets will degrade and so will its plastic hoses
Then it’s normal ware and tear
@@DrMacintosh no shit
Am surprised he didnt blow the headgasket they go out easily on that engine
Is anyone having an issue when your at a stop light and the car turns off. I then let go of the brake and press the gas and I’m not able to move because the engine turns off
I Wonder How Much Was Spent on Gas in One Year 🏁🤯🏁
I was about to say people do lyft and Uber and door dash a lot now . Doing that all day for 6 months will definitely rack up on Miles .
That’s 685 miles a day for 365 days straight.
I think he was in the Houston area and drove about 500 miles per day.
I'm curious at what interval they changed the oil
I'd have to assume at like your standard 3-5k intervals
This issue is also with 10th gen. Hondas also. They are covering it up!!!!
I Only put 15K Miles a Year on My Car that's Crazy
I thought i put a lot of miles on my car when i hit 28k miles in a year
How come this has had no problems with its steering sticking, hundreds of owners have complained you would have thought it would have done so by now.

@@natedogg7284 and you're sure this isn't the assisted Lane mode or driving
@@CastIronEric Yes, it is an actual confirmed issue with a service bulletin / recall for all affected vehicles.
So when they didn’t drive it they must have put in on a dyno when they slept ! And let it run in gear Good god !!!!
Highway miles are very very easy on the engine.
that's good to hear
medical couriers are on the road more then truck drivers u can only do 12 hours on 12 hours off
11 hours driving up to a 14 hour day and 10 hours off for truck drivers
it was probably a company car with multiple workers driving it
Reliability means age of wires, parts, and weathering on them. Not just miles. In fact that is more important because mileage like what you mentioned was probably highway too. Pointless
Miles are miles. The engine survived. All supporting components are part of maintenance and regular repair.
Who is paying for the gas is what I want to know.
City or highway miles is the question.
Maybe if it could fly at 600 miles an hour and went across the world a few times
That sounds impossible
It’s never parked
Not possible
FAF! Don’t be naive!
