so it was time to get rid of our 08 civic it wasn't fitting well with the addition of my son to the family. its not a gm product yes i know but having a friend in a gm garage and hearing all the stories has me gun shy on gm cars. plus the lack of anything aftermarket for gm 4 door cars anymore. so anyway only has 66k on it and its got pretty close to every option available without actually being one of the sport variations. v6 rated for 278hp or something so its pretty snappy. so anyway thats my new vehicle addition and i haven't posted in a few weeks i think so figured id post up something.

the 08 civic we did have was at 182k and never gave us any problems. we bought it at 80k and the only thing i ever did was maintenance and replaced the battery. but even for a 4 door it was too small for a stroller 2 kids and all the other stuff you drag along with that. i did decide to do a 4 wheel alignment around 150k but thats it.

Meant to write 4 door accord. Its my work car, does 140 miles round trip a day. Ashamed to say it but all i do is change oil every 9-12k, brakes, tires and i just did rear hubs because 1 side was screaming at me. Bought it new in 08 and i think i checked trans fluid once. Oh and i did both front bearing and halfshafts at about 175k. But other than that i get in start it drive to work and drive home. A/c is still ice cold and heat works great. There is a hole in the floor board under the passenger seat but nobody sits there so im not worried about it. Off the line its a dog for a 4 cylinder but top end of this motor is no joke.....thing moves for a 4cyl. Lol

We have a 15' exl 4 banger. My wife loves it. I'm not a big fan of the cvt trans but I believe the v6 gets a regular 6 speed auto. We had an 03' before that and put 200k on her before saying goodbye. Great cars.
