    Love your reviews, they are so informative about everything on the car without lapsing into Jeremy Clarkson-esque rubbish 😁 I've watched most of your Civic Mk10 videos and on the strength of them I'm now looking for a 1.5 Sport here in England 🙂

      Update: Test drove a low mileage 2021 Civic Sport 1.5 CVT in Rallye Red and the car was even better than I was expecting. Very comfortable, feels really solid compared to my older Civic, and absolutely stuck to the road. I pick it up in one month . . . can't wait 😁

    Just purchased a 2019 1.5 manual in England after watching many of your reviews. Gave it a thrashing on the test drive (sorry) and cant wait to pick it up next week. The engine and chasis really are a great pairing

    There are so many things in that 2018 that even our 2021's don't have.

      This one is pretty high spec to be fair , also our cars are dearer so this car as a 2018 was 25000€ !

    Really nice car, has everything. With the premium audio, does it have any amplifier or just upgraded speakers? Great video

      Thanks for watching! Just bigger speakers ! I’m unaware of an amplifier, but I stand to be corrected

    Lovely to see a Civic 1.5 GT. I owned a 2017 grey one ( not with leather interior) and I loved it. I was so economical on fuel. Can I ask what car the lady replaced it withas they’re no longer available. Great video 👍🏻

    Can you please explain about the oil dilution problems? People are complaining about this, who can produce serious problems to the engine!

    • @doolanbrian
      @doolanbrian  2 роки тому +1

      Unfortunately I can’t elaborate.. I’m ireland we don’t have the issue but I see lots of Americans and Canadians talking about it .. oil dilution unfortunately is more common on modern cars .. the only thing I can think is that in ireland we changed the oil every 8000/9000 kms … as a result maybe that’s why we don’t have the issue as i think the oil does not get changed as regularly in USA / Canada ?? We have drivers with 1.5 engines in ireland with over 120000 kms and no oil dilution issues. If you go for one , change the oil regularly and it should help avoid the issue 🙂

      @Brian Doolan at Fitzpatricks Garage Kildare I'm thinking to get one in the near future as I like Honda Civic and this engine configuration. 1.5, 182 bhp. I live in London...The reviews I read about the models between 2018 up to 2022, they haven't solved the issue yet...Please advise!
      Many thanks.
