Please don’t leave your channel you are so informative.God bless
only toyota celica i would buy
Scotty won't tell you that the newer Toyota 8 spd's are junk. Thats of coarse unless you like a trans that hunts around for gears. Rav 4 owners are starting a class action.
Scotty, a while back you mentioned a treatment you put on all your plastic to keep it like new. I can’t find that video. Could you do a recap video of maintenance products you swear by?
Thanks!
One of your better videos in a while, Scotty.
the only Honda that Scotty recommends is the Honda Civic that I own. Life is complete.
Same
That's how I felt about my 95 Celica gt.
Me too fam
same here. proud about it
I just bought one so I’m happy with it
You know when someone comments, “Hey, Scotty. I’m thinking about getting this Chrysler”, they’re new to this channel.
Lol SO true 🤣
Good thing I got the 2.0 Civic base model. I’ve had it for 2 years already and it’s a great little car. No problems with it and I’ve done maintenance regularly. You are absolutely right Scotty, you should do your research before buying a car.
Scotty is the world’s only orchestra conductor without an orchestra.
Scotty : “The Only New Honda I’d buy”
Me : “what is it? Civic or nsx?”
Scotty : “Toyota Celica 1994”
Too old content =\
Me: An EV. At least the gasoline engine is no longer suffering.
I thought the NSX was discontinued. I could be wrong.
First Last just saw a brand new one today man😳
IVE GOT THE EXACT SAME MODEL, SAME YEAR, SAME TRIM . feels good to have the Scotty Kilmer Stamp of Approval
me too! I actually had a 2015 which i read later on was one of the worst honda made in its generation and i got into a car accident and got totaled so I then went with a 2016 and seeing that Scotty approves makes me happy!
2016 Honda Civic owner here! I saved this video 😂
X2
Same! I have 2 2013 Accords, both purchased as used vehicles. Love to hear that these were on his list of 5 used vehicles to buy! 😁
Scotty: I’m about to talk about the 2016 Honda Civic
My 2016 Honda Civic: 👀
Honda is caca too weak too sissy.
Lol me too.
Jesus Anaya i got the LX base model (Same as vid) with 54K miles. No major issues at all but the brake hold button doesnt work
Juan Cardona what you got?
@@MrPranker247 That is the only reason I want one. That brake hold can come in handy.
I took your advice 2 weeks ago and picked up a 2018 Honda Civic (base model) with 36,000 miles for 17k and I absolutely love it. It corners really well for a non sports car and it can get up and go when you want it to and it can fit my 1 year old's car seat and my wife and I comfortably. Also I was driving a 2004 chevy impala ls before this car and I tell you what I was super happy to get out of that money pit and upgrade to this!
Nobody ever mentions the fact that this 2.0L engine is Port Injection, so no worrying about that GDI carbon build up.
My daughter just bought a 2016 base Civic last fall, and is absolutely in love with it. Thanks to your videos, we did know about this oil dilution deal going into dealing on her Civic. Thanks.
You’re literally the first person I come to watch about cars. I’m into the Hondas especially the new civic and with your information, I’m glad to now know about the issues it has. I respect your work, keep it up, don’t retire just yet, still need your valuable information.
Hey Scotty! I actually bought this exact same model, year, and color used last August based on your recomendation of Honda. It's a great daily driver even if the cold air on the conditioner went warm around 40,000 miles. Glad l bought the LX model since l was almost tempted by the bells and whistles of the Ex-t which has the oil dissolution problems. Thank you for all your knowledgeable car wisdom!
I literally bought this same civic after watching this video...never regretted it
Will last many years, enjoy 👍🏻🙂
@@bretthansen8166 thank you my friend 👌🏼
We bought this exact model last year. Thanks for making me feel better about our purchase.
Always good advice, delivered with cheerful enthusiasm and a great sense of humor. Scotty is truly a pro that paid his dues many times over,I feel lucky to be able to learn from him!
We Love You Scotty, Never Stop!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I was thinking this while watching. Glad to see ya say it in the comments. He's a living legend!!!
on crip
This channel is literally an auto Bible ! Thank you Scotty 💯
I got a Honda Civic 2016 just like that one I had my doubts on the Honda but now I feel so relieved
Bought a 2018 LX this weekend....All the right boxes were checked. Jackpot !
Lower price with better engine. That's a win-win situation!
For Scotty, 2016 is new
To me, 2016 is too new :/
Well, it's not old.
Me 3
To me, 2013-2016 = fairly new. 2017-2018 = almost brand news 2018-now = brand new
Its new for me too
I've just got the 2017 civic 5 speed transmission, a little worry about the "earthdream" engine. Scotty videos have helped me and son to make better choice when looking for cars. Thanks for your videos they are great.
I bought a 2016 Civic LX recently and I'm glad it has scotty's approval :)
I just bought a 2017 civic lx 2.0l recently with the 6speed Manual it has 55k on it and I love it it’s fast and never lets me down
Now base models are coming out with kseries engines
I got a 2016 Civic LX. Really nice car. I love to see Scotty's comments on this exact model!
Just picked up a 2024 Civic Sport with the 2.0 n/a with 6mt for my wife. We plan on keeping this car in our family for a long time.
My Dad used to have a 2002 Civic. He honestly loved it and drove it for years. He eventually upgraded to a '14 Sienna because we got a big family lol.
My first new car 2004 civic! Still have it! 302,000. I couldn’t sell the civic love that car still! And now a 2019 accord touring 2.0.
Got an 01 myself. Which trim do or did you guys have
Your dad was lucky! 2001-2005 civics had transmission problems.
That generation of civic is plagued with blown head gaskets. Been there done that.
@@BubbaGumpShrimpss My 2003 is still going strong 18 years after manufacture. 157,000 miles.
Just bought this car this week. It's nice to know scotty approves of it. Also here in Canada, I have the Lx and it's comes with a touch screen radio, while the LX in USA has the basic push button radio
Thank you Scotty for approving Honda civic! I Have 2018 1.8L sedan Honda Civic and I have started loving it more!!!
I'm buying a 2017 lx tmw. I was on the fence of going to get it tmw. But after this video I can't wait. Thx Scotty
You're my lockdown staying home instructor! Much more interesting than decorating cakes.
I’d say the opposite. But that’s cause I’m sick of cars.
Scotty is low calorie too.
I bought this car for my brother last year. It is a used 2016 model. I didn’t research about CVT or turbocharged engine but I think we got a gem. It’s a very low maintenance car. It just need a oil change every once in a while that’s pretty much it. Thanks Scotty I will show this video to my brother
I recently discovered this channel. This dude is a genius and a wonderful person. I 'am starting to love Scotty. Love his saying " Don't jump in the pool before checking how deep the water is first"...common sense👌🏼.
Makes me more confident in buying my 2020 Civic Sport, 2.0L 6MT. I got it back in January with only 6 miles on it, but now in May, I already have over 10600 miles.
I have a 2016 civic manual, its a fun and great commute car, love your videos scotty
I own a 2018 2.0L with a 6 speed stick.
I feel so validated.
I have the 2017 version it’s fun to drive and it hasn’t broken down yet
@@davidkevin03how about now
@@christopherdominguez845 I’m full bolt-on e85 tune. and race occasionally. 68k miles and still my daily driver
I've just bought an 2015 Civic 2.0L with automatic transmission. Loving it!
I have a '16 Civic touring coupe with the 1.5 litre turbo you're talking about....I'm not having the oil dilution problem you're talking about...I know of the problem, just haven't experienced any of the issues....Love the car...
Another good review Scotty! I have owned a few civics and I also recommend the 2.0 over the 1.5 turbo for reliability
I plan on buying another car in a couple of months and definitely considering a Civic with the 2.0L motor. I hope to get one in the Sport trim since it has more features than the base LX. Aside from the fact it has no turbo, you don't have to worry about problems the befall Direct Injection engines. Thank goodness for port fuel injection!
Bought this last night, loving it and loving 46 MPG I'm getting so far
I just got the 2016 EX-T coupe. Awesome car. Great gas milage. Lots of compliments. The trunk space is fantastic.
I bought the “fancier” 2018 Civic EXT (Turbo) new in June 2018. It has been trouble-free after nearly two and a half years of driving (56,680 miles) of mixed city/highway driving with maintenance every 3500 miles. I live in Westchester county, NY. So far, it’s the best car I’ve ever owned.
Where’d you buy it from? WP, Yonkers, New Ro? I’m looking for the best dealer to buy from.
So you pay more money to get a more unreliable car? 🧐 seems about right these days
moins cher ne signifie pas toujours fiable. Le Dodge Journey est un horrible véhicule.
That's always been the case. Fast reliable or cheap pick two.
more complex = more stuff that can break
I used 1.5tcp.. from 2017, going on good.. 70000km mileage now
Dumb logic. Do you pay for a sports car or supercar for reliability?
I also bought my wife the 2017 Civic EX 2.0 L, turbos run too hot, but did not know about the oil dilution problems, thanks Scotty
Well scotty . I used to have a bmw 318 e36 . And decided to change after 12 years. I bought a civic 2016 2.0. Since 4 month ago. I used your advice about car brand and oil dilution thing. And here we are you giving credit to this car which makes me pretty confident about my choice. And here I am a good student 😜
Bought a 2017 civic 2.0 a year ago and so far its been awesome. Glad I followed my gut and chose the 2.0 over the turbo version. I was nervous about the CVT as well but heard good things about Hondas CVT and decided to go with it. Over all it exceeded my expectations, has had no problems big or small, and absolutely glad i chose it despite being still unsure of the CVT over the long term.
Honda and Toyota CVT'S are the only ones that use a real launch gear.
Mazda stopped using CVT'S and went with their own gear type automatic.
Avoid Nissans, Mitsubishi's, GM, Ford, Chrysler, etc
Ty Ty, keep up in the transmission fluid changes every 30K - 40K miles. My Honda Civic CVT runs smooth!
Hey Scotty
Nice review been waiting to see you review the civic LX with the CVT
I always check with Scotty's channel first before even THINKING of buying any car that's not a Honda or toyota. I just bought a 2013 CR-Z Ex with 93k miles. former lease vehicle. Excellent condition. scotty is proud of me I know.
I was test driving a 2016 civic ex-t that had been in an accident before quarantine. I was laid off from my last job and have been needing the money I didn’t spend on a car. I didn’t end up buying it and I am happy about that especially after watching this video.
Scotty likes his cars how he likes his women: with a decent trunk.
😳
Ha, ha, ha..with lots of space.
And low maintenance
And a racy seat!
Waves both hands in excitement* 😂
I’ve got a 2016 Civic EX, my friend has a 2017 EX. Both have the same engine, the 2.0 L K20C2, quite fun cars to daily drive and zoom around when you need/want to.
Xaver1107 I got the 17 2.0l 6speed perfect car for when I work

Knockout Investing Life 2014 Civics are still being sold for $15k lol
The EX doesn’t have a turbo... you dodged a bullet. One trim level up and you’d be having oil dilution problems
Get rid of it!
Thank you!! I heard about some oil problems with the 2016 civic but I know now it’s with the 1.5 litter engine and the 2.0 engine doesn’t have that so that helps with just knowing about them in general.
Well I didnt know daihatsu sold cars in the US, I learn something new everytime I watch scotty's videos

Very useful. I liked the 2016 version of honda civic and I've been trying to figure out which one is reliable. Thanks, Scotty!
Having watched my older brother and his friends work on project/hobby cars years ago, we all came to the same conclusion: Such cars are holes in the driveway that money disappears into.
Hey Scotty! Thank for this video, I have a question about newer (2016 and newer) Toyota-Lexus Body on frame SUVs. Do they still have the frame rust problem?
Your a life saver Scotty, was about to buy the Rs model. Thanks, been watching for 2 years. So Have learnt a lot.
Scotty, you mad lad, You revved that poor thing COLD.
I have a 2020 Civic Sport (2.0liter non turbo) now I feel like I, too, hit the jackpot
Me too. Any troubles yet?
@@MrBig-ow3wy No sir! I traded it for a 2.0T Accord. managed to go from 5k negative to 3k positive in a few months due to the car market
Leaving a like even before watching the vídeo. Keep rocking Scotty!
My 2014 Honda Civic Had that Software reprogramming done for the CVT... They didn't tell me what the update was for ..., but thanks to you I know now! ; ) I've been lucky so far, my car is now at 256,000 KM
I can seriously appreciate how nonchalant you are about the interior. "Digital dash, looks cool!"
I'm only thirty and I hate digital dashes, but when you put it that way? Yeah! It does!
I was wondering when you'd review my car! Had it for a year, no issues except for AC condenser (covered under service contract, and now Honda themselves). Love the way it handles and steers
Malik Harris I’ve heard they have AC issues. I found it funny that Scotty didn’t mention that. Glad yours got covered in the warranty/TSB
Lefai Kao Yes, we came close to getting one last week but heard about the AC issues and Honda not even backing the warranty.....blaming outside debris damaging the AC, instead of their faulty design. And leaving customers on the hook for expensive repairs even when under warranty. The whole point of getting a new car is to avoid expensive repairs. We’re disappointed because we really like the Civic, but reliable AC is a must for us.
I recently bought a 09 Honda Accord ex-l coupe with 40k miles! Previous owner took well care of it.
I currently drive a 2015 version and checked for the problem and it came back clear. Plus I haven’t had any problems
Just got a 2017 Honda Civic ex 2.0 for 12k with 67,000 miles and I love everything about it.. thank you Scotty for the good advice 👍🏽

I own a 2016 civic Ex w Sunroof and 1.5 best Honda I’ve owned...thanks Scotty! Great review
No disrespect Scotty, however I’ve had my 2019 EX Sedan over a year and 16,000 miles. I live in an area with cold winters. I’ve had no oil dilution issues. Now granted I don’t take short drives. Any trip I make is at least 30 miles. IMO, this issue is more related to the CRV and it’s larger turbo. However, I’m not a mechanic. One observation I can make however is that mine warms up to operating temperature quite a bit quicker than my friends 2017 Touring. I do love my EX however. It replaced a 2009 EX that was a great car. Thanks for all the great contributions you make. I love your posts on Autonauts Garage as well. 😉
I have a 2019 civic si. I just change oil twice a year or every 6000km.
Thank you Scotty! I used to regret not getting the touring model. But I have a 2017 Civic EX 2.0L and this makes me feel better about my purchase decision. I made the decision to go with NA engine because I didn’t trust the turbocharged engine. But I did wished I could have a manual transmission, which it’s rare to find one with a 2.0L engine.
how do you feel the emergency passing power is on that? Thats my only concern with the 2.0L
My family just picked up a 2019 Honda Civic Lx 2.0 with the 6 speed today. Only 13000 on the odometer too!
Agreed it’s hard to find one with a manual transmission.
I finally got lucky on New Year’s Day 2021 after looking a couple months for a 2020 civic sport sedan with a manual gearbox and NA 2.0 engine.
How many miles and how much did you get it for? Just curious because I got my 2020 Sport 2.0 6-speed during the beginning of the pandemic for $23,000.
@@UnknownLifter Got mine on 2017 with 5 miles at $22,000
I have that car but with the manual and it’s amazing 160k miles and still runs perfectly
Great to hear! I have a 2020 Civic sport sedan with the 2.0 NA K20C2 motor and 6 speed manual transmission as well. Have you had to replace the clutch yet?
I have this exact car, disappointed the dealer had no manuals, but they tried to sell me the 1.5L version. So thankful I picked the two liter. Things so fun for a cheap little credit boosting whip.

thank you!
@@scottykilmer When you answer someone's question, do you notify them? So we can look out for an answer. I don't watch all your videos... sorry, don't hurt me.

Scotty, I wish I had found your channel before I bought my CR-V with the 1.5T engine...
scotty stay safe we need you, and love you.
Hi Scotty. I have the 1.8L model of this car (America gets the 2.0L R20 engine, Asia and Australia gets the 1.8 engine). The R series engine are stinking reliable and can go 300k+ plus miles with no problems
I bought the 2016 1.5L turbocharged Touring edition new and I have had NO problems with the engine. I love my car and the extra HP.
Have that same exact car. Same exact color. Just hit 140k miles on it and only thing I’ve had to replace is an air compressor and a motor mount. Still one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. The perfect commuter car.
Yep those 2.0 L naturally aspirated can run forever.
@gustavo Leal Hi , does your civic have a vibration to it? Mine is at 23000 miles and I’ve noticed it has a vibration which I read online from other buyers that it is common but wanted to know about your motor mount situation.
I just convinced my parents to get a 2019 Honda Civic LX 2.0l with the 6 speed Manuel! I told them nothing beats that reliability
2.0 + 6 Speed is the most reliable way to buy a Civic by far 👍🏻
Finally a review that isnt 30sec for my submodel
I got a 2016 civic coupe, it has a turbo charge engine. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
What would we do without good ol, Uncle-Scotty?
I'm going low end civic, manual, no turbo.
Scotty: **opens any car door**
Also Scotty: **slaps the seat**
when my brother was looking for a small crossover for his wife in 2017, he was so aimed on the CR-V. since i’m a smart car guy, i told him to buy the LX to avoid the 1.5T problems. 3 years and not a single problem
I bought the Honda Civic 2016 in Silver and I’m exited to drive it everyday since
I bought my 2018 Civic EXT new back in June 2018.
It’s Jan 2021 and I’ve driven 60,800 miles. I’ve maintained it aggressively (oil change every 3,800 miles) and use only high detergent gas (Sunoco 93 has the highest detergent). Drives as good (if not better) than day one. Great performance. Great avg mpg. No dilution issues. So far, so good. I live in NY just slightly north of NYC with no garage. I’ll keep updating my experience. Next one should be around 75,000 miles.
That is great to hear. What kind of oil do you use? Do you use all synthetic?
@@shando3333
I only use the Honda full synthetic oil. I now update my maintenance every 5,000 miles (or earlier). The recommended change is 7,500 miles but I do it early to mitigate carbon deposits. I also use only the highest detergent top-tier fuel (Shell 93 Octane). If you have a modern turbo, it’s advisable to maintain the engine religiously.I just hit 68,000 miles as of today, April 12. I’ll probably do a walnut blast soon to clean the intake valves as modern GDI turbo engines are more susceptible to carbon build up. I’m hitting 32.3 mpg.
@@txmoney how’s the car doing now? Just got mine a few months ago
@@heyitsjulian8058
Approaching the fourth year of ownership (three years, ten months):
103,400 miles, averaging 34.3 mpg (combined city/highway).
Four new tires, four new brake pads, cut rotors, bled and replaced brake fluid, cleaned fuel injectors, replaced spark plugs, early oil/filter changes (every 3,800-4,200 miles), replaced transmission fluid twice, engine air filter replaced regularly.
That’s it. I’ve had trouble-free driving with an aggressive maintenance schedule. Relatively low cost of ownership. The first expensive maintenance is due soon with a water pump and drive belt replacement. I’ll have that done at 110,000 miles.
