I am in the market for a compact car in the next few months and the Civic is at the top of my list. My question is: should I be looking at the 2.0 NA considering the current issues with the 1.5 Turbo regarding oil dilution?
A little background.... I am living in Minnesota where we obviously see very cold temps. The business I work for is expanding rapidly and required them to purchase a building just down the road where I need to make multiple short trips during the day. This is temporary, but definitely not easy on ANY car.
I was looking at the EX-T for all the heated seats and goodies, but after doing some research on here and other forums, it seems as if this oil dilution problem isn't fully understood even with the current "fix" Honda rolled out. My main concern is long term reliability/maintenance costs. Should I just play it safe with the LX, or is this issue being blown out of proportion?
