How do you guys think the 10th generation Civic line up will hold up over time in terms of reliability?
I understand there are many factors that determine how long a car will last or not last, but lets just say the car is driven spiritedly as intended (not abused), maintained on schedule, resides in a nice environment ie. California no snow/salt or high temperature extremes such as Las Vegas.
The new motors and turbo are a step in a different direction for Honda, so am I curious to see how it all may hold up compared to previous generations with the screaming Vtec motors that are very rev happy and have proven to be overall pretty reliable.
My main concerns is the turbo failing, push button start/electronic e brake malfunctioning, etc.
Hondas and most modern cars these days come equipped with so much electronics and technology I wonder how it all will do after the 100,000 miles mark.
For those who keep their car 1-3 years, no biggie. Even at 30K miles a year, thats just 90K.
I plan to keep this car for 5-10 years, so I wanna do what I can to keep it running as reliably as possible to not break the bank.
The best things I can think of are routine oil changes, checking fluid levels, etc.
Also, after driving, do you guys idle for a minute or two before shutting off the motor? Is this necessary since the car is equipped with a turbo?
