The new Civic hatchback has been my dream car for the past few years, and I finally have the opportunity to get one. I test drove one yesterday and I loved it.
However, now I've just been reading about the issues the 1.5l turbo engine has been having, especially in the CRV but also Civics with this engine. Basically, gas accumulating in the oil.
I'm so disappointed, because I've wanted this car for a while. Is this issue blown out of proportion? Should it be something to worry about?
Unfortunately, living in Canada means I will be doing a lot of cold weather driving, plus mainly short trips, which they say exasperates this issue.
Just wondering if I would be really stupid to still get this car. The big problem is that I'm currently without a car at all and have a rental that's burning a hole in my pocket, so I need to get something ASAP.
