Bad reliability X gen Civic and Accord

[DadBodMod17]

‘19 Si here with ~42k on it. No issues other than warped front rotors at about 32k and now noticing clutch slip with the Phearable 1.5R tune and some bolt-ons. ‘Twas expected… RV6 Retro and Stage 0 is in order for install in June-ish.

Consumer Reports-LMAO! Learned not to trust their bogus info years ago.

OP, I looked at your post history. You've been deciding whether or not to get a 10th gen since 2021???

Is this a spam post to try to get us to buy a Kia? Lol.

Waiting for used car prices to go down and doing my research while still driving my dependable '07 Accord. I didn't like the overpricing of the used car market because of the pandemia and the chips shortage.

Almost 40k on my ‘21 sport hatch and have had literally zero issues other than tearing my skid plate off and the hyper-sensitive paint. All I have done so far is regular maintenance. It’s a 6MT and still on stock clutch with no signs of it needing replacement.

Well, the head unit tweaks out every now and then, but I can’t fault the car for that.

Kias ha e excellent reliability maybe that's the car you need!

78,000 miles here. The reliability is pretty spectacular on parts I haven’t messed with (built motor). Even beating on it, doing 5-7k oil changes, the body and both engines still test perfect. I have a 6MT Si Transmission. Consumer Reports I think is full of crap, they have a massive bias and claim to be impartial. My mothers lexus RX350F has had some really lame parts break, seals fail, and suspension problems. Anecdotal, but yeah.

Hondas generally hold their value. If you're expecting a huge drop in used car prices, its probably not gonna happen anytime soon or its going to be very minimal as demand is still high. Also, don't look at car sites like Shift, Carvana and CarMax if you want a lower price, they overcharge and you can't negotiate a lower price.

2020 Si Owner here. I have 27,000 miles on it.

I bought it in Sept 2021 from Carmax. It lasted 1,000 miles before the clutch went. Carmax replaced it (with a stock clutch).

Then I threw on an intake, down pipe, front pipe, intercooler with piping, sway bars, and a tune. The clutch lasted until 26,300 miles and blew up. I read sevral posts and watched videos from performance garages and the consensus appears that the stock clutches will start to go with the tiniest bit of torque.

The only issue I had so far were leaky wheel bearings which I had done when I replaced my clutch with the ACT Street Kit with SMF.

I noticed the A/C was rated poorly. While it works, it does take a bit for the car to cool down on warm days. I am sure the all black interior does not help things.

Beyond the clutch and wheel bearings, no problems yet.

Did the leaky wheel bearings make a certain sound? I'm wondering if what I'm hearing in my car is just that

i got one of the unicorn clutches! 76k miles on my 2020 and it still holds stage 1+ in MAP 3. but only over like 4k rpms. if i build more rhan like 12lbs of boost under 4k, itll slip a bit. but morale of the story is, its lasted this long!

Same here. Bought the car used at 46,000. Fbo/ Tuned it shortly after and I now have 62,000 all on the first (i presume stock clutch. I only daily drive it on map 1 21psi... Yeah 5th gear likes to disappear on me sometimes above 5K lol

My civics been fairly reliable l, but luckily I have honda care. Front bearing and brake booster went out way too early. Had some honda sensing issues and other small annoyances. Oh yeah and busted ac.

I had a squeaking sound that occurred almost every time I turned my car left. Occasionally it would disappear and then the sound would appear again. I thought it was my brake rotors; an inspection at my mechanic revealed it was the bearings.

2018 Civic Executive aka Touring with Honda sensing, so every options.

50k and replaced ac condensor twice. Clutch is still fine and no problems so far.
Stock engine.

2018-2019 civics are the best years.

I think this is a blatant lie lol.
