That's why you have option to go with Accord 2.4L. I agree it is bit more expensive with 2.4L, but it is worth the long run in comparison to 2.0L that is new and untested. Plus Insurance is not supposed to be higher if you have Accord, Sonata, Camry. It is usually high with compact sedan like Civic, Elantra, mazda 3 and Corolla.
From what i know that Honda Civic 2016 Turbocharged 1.5L is fine, but not Honda Civic 2016 2.0L, new and untested. All Honda Civic 2016 2.0L is on engine recall according to the legit article. Those who purchased Turbocharged 1.5L which qualifies for Touring package have nothing to worry like your Honda Touring.
I dont think you understand what a recall is. A recall is for PAST vehicles. All new 2.0 vehicles dont have the problem. . Only some of the first ones that were produced.
Read the article carefully. All new 2.0L engines have problems, but not 1.5L Turbocharged engine.
Old news? This is recent matter. It hasn't been a month yet.
old news. only affects vehicles made in October/November. All new 2.0L are good.
Maybe I was mistaken, but my impression was that the 1.5T is an all-new engine, or "untested," as you put it. I thought the 2.0L was still based on the K-series, no?
This Honda Civic is 2.0L which is new and untested because last few years, the civic engine used 1.8L. I am sure Honda should be able to improve its 2.0L engine within the few years. I don't know about K-series, but i think you might be right. Normally people should wait for at least few months to observe how it goes; be it Toyota, Honda or Hyundai. You never know what to expect from new cars, but that's what the warranty is for. Besides, I am due for new car so i am gonna be patient, hence being observant.
Can you post a link to where it said that only vehicles made in oct/nov? Just want to make sure cuz mine is made in january. Thank.
go to the beginning of the recall threads. somewhere it said the first 38k vehicles produced. you can also check your VIN. .
