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

[cstephens79]

5 years is like a lifetime for me with cars. But this is one of, if not, the best cars I've ever driven. It's definitely something I want to hand down I just don't know if I'm strong enough to keep myself from going to the Si.

I've owned Civic's since '85, so I plan on keeping it. I still have my '99 hatch and the wife's 97 coupe.

I'm leasing mine as I've financed in the past but really didn't want a long term payment. I like driving newer cars and I don't mind a payment (literally 1 or 2 days of overtime per month pays for my car + insurance). I love my car and if I wanted to buy it at the end of the lease it's only 9k. I may buy it, but in 4 years I may want something else. Who really knows? Either way I don't really lose too much by leasing and making that choice in 4 years from now instead of being stuck with a 5-7 year payment.

My plan is to drive my Civic until it becomes too costly to maintain. Hoping for 12 plus years.

Has my 2002 Civic for 15 years and reluctantly threw in the towel after a head gasket repair job went bad. I'm hoping to keep my 10thgen for at least that long, as well

I was considering trading my hatch toward a Type R once they become more available, but I've loved it so much over the first 15k that I'm gonna give it to the wife after her Scion dies and buy a Type R for myself then. These cars are a joy! I just hope the new models last as long as all the early 2000's ones you still see everywhere!

When I bought it, my plan was to give it to my son once he learns to drive in a 2-3 years. At around the same time, I will be eligible to retire so I'll be due for another vehicle. I bought the Civic to get me back and forth from work...reliability and mpg was main concern.

This is my first car I bought myself and also my first brand new car....My goal is 300,000 miles...

I never kept the same car longer than than 3 years because there was always something that didn't satisfy me 100% but after almost 2 years with my civic i love it so much that i plan to keep it as long as i can. It is the perfect size and weight, has the right power, a manual transmission, excellent fuel economy and looks good. That's all i need

p.s. i drive only in the city, if i had to spend hours and hours on the freeway I would choose a different car, probably heavier and automatic.

Definitely planning on keeping this car long term. I had my 2007 Civic for 10 years before selling it and getting my 2016. Love it.

Family corolla was at 367k km so hopefully this one lasts as long. However it's turbo and cvt so

Good lord that’s a beautiful Civic.

There’s no telling, to be honest. I love my car, but in a few years I may bite the bullet for a Type R or at least an Si. That is unless I get the unstoppable modding bug which has been known to destroy families...in that case this will be long term as I will throw a bigger turbo, upgrade the internals, etc. while simultaneously downgrading my bank account.

I buy pretty much every 3 years for me and my wife plus a motorcycle. I'm not sure what I will be getting in 2020. (We have no kids) This is my 4th SI. 2004, 2008, 2015 being the others. Additionally my parents owned several Si's 2 CRX Si's and 4 Civic Si's.

I plan on keeping the car at least the length of the loan term till I own it, I drive like 4k+ miles a month and I am keeping the miles low on the 2017 by daily driving my 2007 EX-L, which is still an amazing car, but it has 294,000 miles on it and there are times when I need to know the car braking down is not a worry.
