Your 10th Gen Is this a hype ting or lifetime ting?

My family has never leased and drove their cars to the ground. My civic hb was a decision based on 10 years+ /driving it to the ground investment. How do you guys view your civic purchase? Long term or short term?

I'm looking to keep it long term,assuming I don't have to file a lemon law suit here soon

Kept my last Civic 17 years.
Hoping to do the same with this one.

All my cars have been around 10 years old with 200,000 km when I got them. This is the first new car I've ever had and I plan on keeping it for 10 years.

Before I went back to the Philippines for the first two months ago, I only see myself keeping her for 7-8 years.

I ended LOVING Philippines that I will be putting all my attention/money on it. I plan to buy my friend's land and build house, go back every year and even retire there.

I am done with trading in for a new. I had 5 brand new purchases by 40 and hopefully both my toys last long.

LOL the only thing I could see shortening the lifespan is a whole new dimension for cars which is android infotainment. However you could go aftermarket when it ages after another year lol. I am guilty of my phone addiction as well and for that I have 'standards'

I was thinking of adding an option of life situations as well but in reality you can't really predict that when buying a car. Like starting a family and getting a bigger car or moving. Philippines I hear is a beautiful country! Hopefully you can finally go from 12 months of winter to 0

Tough luck you can you had with your civic. Hopefully it all clears up!

I'll either have it for 3-5 years and trade out... or if i go much past that and I'll keep it for my oldest who's almost 8 so she can have it as a first car. It oughta be about 9 years old... with the engine w/around 100k miles (just broke in) and the clear coat totally shot like half the other ~10 year old Honda's I see. Great first car for a kid.

My EX-L sedan is supposed to be on a five year plan to be handed down to my son. However, the Si's have really piqued my interest though so I'm not 100% sure it'll last that long.

This is exactly my quandary. I usually drive my Hondas till they are well used or die (89 accord - 11 years/360,000 KM, 2000 CRV - 10 years/225,000km, upgraded to a 2010 CRV that is still around, 2001 Civic LX - 16 years/245,000km DEAD transmission, upgraded to a 2017 EX Sedan with all the sensing stuff.). This time though, I am so impressed with this car and so enamored with the SI, I might have to trade in at 3 years or even 2. All depends on the trade-in value really. My only REAL regret at the moment was not getting the EX-T.
