Newbie.... Suggestion for 1st Civic Appreciated
Hello All,
New user here looking to buy my first Civic. Would greatly appreciate suggestions on the model / models with historic reliability & long life. This is my retirement car & although my wife likes the Touring, I wanted to get suggestions for those who have lived with these cars about reliability & a long life, any quirks, anything to stay away from, etc. Looking at 2018-2019 models.
My Thanks & Best Wishes!

welcome to the forum i have owned the following cars and my experience with the honda. 90 accord, 180k+ changed rad and exh, due to lived in Hi for first 7 years. 02 civic 230k+ gave to my son, to girlfriend to ?? 380k+ miles, still running, 07 Fit 280K my commuter for work until retired 1 yr ago still being driven got if for sore back easy in and out, I'm short, wife has a 16 hr-v (larger Fit) 1.6 l easy driver, 35mpg hwy. again easy to get in and out for sore back 20k no problems. Civic hurt my back and hit my head going in and out but 40mpg. all good reliability and anything that can do 250k miles is good for the money. the new Pilot is rough to ride and have nav problems, the new crv is ok, all the rest live a long time when normal mx done very little failure on much. ( my own opinion ) i have owned over 75+ cars and trucks in all my driving, honda's have given me the most milage and reliability Tell me what you have decided to get no matter what car. your money to spend get what you're happy with. .

We plan to do some test driving in Oct.. & gather info. Also looking for any price incentive on the 18’s vs 19’s which I understand will be coming out mid month.
Again, Thank You!

@acmech52........Many, Many Thanks for your input. I have only owned USA & German. Our 2011Ford Fusion Sport suffered Steering wheel failure. I only had 2-3 inches of movement at both low & 60-70 mph. I was able to nurse it home after an exciting drive on our curvy country roads. To old a car to through & to experiment with what is wrong. So,far they don’t have a clue.
Looking for reliability this time.
Yeah, this could be a cash deal. Will do some test driving later this week. No 2019’s on the lots here yet so kind of watching for discounts, incentives on the 2018’s. Wife is wanting to drive a Civic Touring Model. She is doing most of the driving since I retired, so......

I will suggest you to buy Honda Accord not civic as Accord is very reliable for long rides. But if you want to go with Civic, there are a lot of options as well. Great that you want latest models. I will recommend you 2019 Honda Civic but to be very honest, I don't have Civic experience. I am Accord lover.
