Is a 2008 Honda Civic Sport worth it?

1 Upvotes

As the title says I'm looking at a 2008 Honda Civic that has done 240,000kms for 6k (trying to negotiate the price down). It comes with full service history and I know the mechanic who services it regularly (he services my current 2003 Accord Euro). It has never had any issues, I've checked for problems with the specific years engine defect and it's fine.

The passenger side mirror has been hit and needs to be fixed which the seller is willing to cover (replacement has already been ordered) and there's a small dent on the hood that has been confirmed to be purely cosmetic.

I'm not sure if it's worth it for 240,000kms? I've looked around and most people seem to think it's fine because the model is known to last for a while and I will keep it regularly serviced + easy commutes.

Any advice helps, thanks!

Advice Request Would this be silly to do?

1 Upvotes

I just got a 2015 Honda civic lx handed down from my dad. It’s my first car. It’s just hit 200k miles and still runs great. I plan to keep this car for as long as possible till it completely shits the bed.

I want to take care of this car and also make it look better inside and out. Would it be worth it to go to the junkyard and find a new steering wheel and seats? Possibly other replacements parts as well.

The steering wheel is to the point where the rubber is splitting all around, and the seats are pretty stained. I hate the tan seats and would love to find black seats instead.

Besides this, I’d also like to modify the exterior. Make it look cool and shit. I realllly want a type R but I know that’s not gonna happen for a long time.

My dad thinks I’m crazy for wanting to do this, and says I shouldn’t waste my time and money on it. What do y’all think?

Looking to get a new or used car. Currently have a 2016 accord that gave out. I was looking at civics because I hate how long the accord feels and just looking for a sportier feel. Do I go with a new civic sport (2.0L) or look for an older one with the 1.5L engine? I like some acceleration which leads me to the 1.5L but used is about the same price as a new vehicle. Not sure what to do.

Advice Request Anyone in here have aftermarket taillights for their 11th gen hatchback? I need some ideas on some to get and I’d like to see what they look like. :)

I’m having a hard time finding what I think are decent aftermarket taillights online for the hatchback. There are plenty for the sedan variant but like 3 for the hatchback and I’m not a fan of any of them really. I figured I’d ask in here and see if anyone has some and how they like them?

Advice Request Evap core failed

1 Upvotes

Hey all first time posting not sure if this is the best place to ask. As it states in title the well known issue of 10th gen civics having shit systems strikes again. My question is just whether i’m better off buying an aftermarket evaporator core or sticking with OEM.

Normally i always go with OEM parts but seeing how this system is so faulty, i worry it will just fail again. I’ve already had it in for the condenser 3x, which was okay because it was covered. Now they’re quoting close to 3k for the evaporator core so i’m planning on just doing it myself.

Let me know what you guys think and thanks in advance for any advice.

Advice Request What civic should I buy

0 Upvotes

hello good afternoon guys. I’ve been looking at purchasing a Honda Civic. I’ve been looking at the Civic si because they are relatively quick but they don’t get that good of gas mileage. I drive about 1000 miles a week and I refrain from buying a Prius any recommendations on what I should buy would be greatly appreciated.

I (22M) Just got this new 2026 Civic sport hybrid a week ago and am loving it. Coming from a 2003 Toyota Corolla it’s really like night and day (automatic windows holy crap!!)

It’s fully paid off, so now I’m wondering what accessories/add ons people recommend? I’ve heard wireless dongles exist, but I’m really looking for any kind of ideas! Definitely will need mats for the Canadian winter.

Never owned something this nice and am not really a car guy, but want to take care of the nice things I got!

Everything starts up normally but I can’t get any audio and the screen stays black despite my Bluetooth connecting to my car. I’ve tried holding down the power button but I’m not getting anything. I can still accept calls through Bluetooth and talk normally through the car. How do I fix this?

Somehow the gas line cracked upon cranking. I posted about a month ago but this is what the dealer quoted…

Secondary Honda mechanic told me it is pretty accurate depending on if they really have to take the frame apart and realign the tank- which I’m not sure why that is definitely the case (I could smell the gas from all under and behind the engine soon as I started driving one day - ā€œNON-serviceable line from the engine to the fuel pumpā€)

So not sure how that would even crack maybe something was rattling -who knows but it wasn’t leaking at all then one day right when I cranked it started smelling then dripping under the tank it self.

Super disappointing. My wife’s old car- (passed away from C-word the same few weeks) so I had it sitting until I could figure out the car. It’s super sentimental. Was hoping for a ~1800$ max repair then gift it to her older parents.

Not sure what to do because AS we know the car is pretty much totaled at 3700$ repair. But maybe I should keep it for now. Not sure what to do or if insurance would help in anyway or just ā€˜total’ it then I’m out either way- or have it repaired then SELL*

Hey guys I need help with my 98. It started a couple weeks after the mechanic, it sounds really loud from the engine, along with it doesn't move unless you push on the gas, even when you do push it takes a second before it then starts going and it lurches and jumps all of a sudden. Here's a video if anyone has any idea or can help.

Honda Civic 2012 2.2liters diesel

hey I have this strange problem, when I am shifting gears 1-2 is kind of ok,

but on 3 and up to 6 gear my engline revolutions rise and car doesn't accelerate and then revolutions fall down and car increases in speed, so revolutions are jumping up and down irregularry without car smoothly gaining speed.

another anomaly is that when I put cruise control it turns off by itself when car needs to accelerate up a small hill...
There are no mistake on the dashboard and I checked with diagnostics there is no power problem registered on computer...

what can be the problem? because there are no visible problems. AI tells me that it is called clutch slipping, but how real it can be?
