That's not an ES. The ES has black inserts on the front between the headlights and badge and also 225/45 17's.

Thanks for that! Cured the issue with my honda HRV 1.6 diesel. I literally pop it in 3rd, drive forward with clutch very near the top. Drop the clutch again and repeat and with being a slight downward driveway I don’t even have to rev/slip the clutch and then it’s smooth as silk as I pull away in 1st! 👍

Excellent review, and by the way I completely agree with you. Automotive journalists don’t get these cars. I purchased a used RL, for my winter car and love it ,it runs like a top and the seats are the most comfortable I’ve ever been in any car. I also have an RLX which has a much more modern and luxurious interior which I also absolutely love. When I bought the RL I was also considering the Lexus to compare but couldn’t find one for sale so bought the RL ( I’m in Canada) and haven’t regretted it.

Thanks for your information, I just purchased a 2008 Civic with iShift but it was a close decision to buy a 2009 Automatic model. The lower tax snd better fuel economy won me over. However many say Honda scrapped the iShift due to reliability problems (which I hope is rubbish)

If only I had some spare cash😞

Cheap to maintain, reliable engines. Took it to long trips 1300+ km without issues with the seats and my back. Large boot that has more space then some premium european cars. R18Z4 engine is the last naturally aspirated from it's kind from Honda and it will easily reach 300.000km without issues which could not be said for many other car makers out there.

That's a beauty..! 😊

Unfortunately the government is killing beautiful old cars like this. I fancied a Legend but the road tax is a staggering £735 per year. I won't pay it and that's what the government are banking on.

I have a CT200h and will be trading up to an IS300h early next year. I can testify to the fantastic build quality and engineering of these cars. The CVT never bothers me, in fact I love it and there's nothing quite as lovely as a Lexus interior. Brilliant, brilliant cars.

I bought gs300h 2weeks ago , absolutely love in it! Great car!!!!!

this my dream car

I no they r really good bom proof I got 2 0ne 2008 mk3and one2011idtec 2.2 witch I have just put a mk4engine in it at74yrs old Old. Engine got diesel in oil ruin it but that of yours is a lovely car drives lovely

Lovely comparo! I just wanted to say that this sort of large luxury sedan isn't exclusively an old man's choice - I'd say I'm a young guy, and even I'm interested by the Legend, cross shopping between that, a few smaller hatchbacks and sedans and a Volvo V70 to buy in the next 18 months. The idea of having something that has a good sound system, something quiet and something that's not gonna be a pain in my derrier, but that can still be a good bit of fun on a b-road. Cheers :D

Great to see someone who really knows how to drive. The honda engine gearbox is sublime and their chassis certainly punches above their weight as a basic 4dr. I'd put the chassis up with the best bmw 3 series.

thank you

Apparently the diesel 2.2 is better!

Thank you for a balanced real world assessment of two great cars.

Forget the car, as a non-english speaker, im literally mesmerized by your hyperbolic flowery language that is beautifully paired with so many pertinent adjectives. Im really here for the English masterclass.

With diesel you need to change the gear in my opinion around 3000 or more in town, because this kind of engine get clocked,dpf filter problem plus egr valve same. All the diesel have this problem inside town. On motorway it is a different story and it ok to change around 2000. Conclusion is , if you want a car only for town this is not ok because of dpf filter, buy petrol and never have problem, otherwise for motorway it is fine😊. One more thing on this diesel engines it is also a problem after a while the lambda O2 sensor's fail and they are so expensive to change. I know few people who have this kind of car and they had this problem but after high mileage around 150k.

Excellent car. Way too underrated. Everyone raves about the Germans but this takes the cake. It's so balanced and overall very high quality.

Hello I’m not a car mechanic only an enthusiast but I read somewhere that using synthetic engine oil opposed to non synthetic can effect gaskets and car seals negatively ,I took apart a MK3 2007 Honda CRV Clutch slave cylinder a moment ago and noticed that the rubber bung around the bottom of the cup on top of the small spring looked thicker or swollen next to a slightly newer part of the same model and it’s my opinion that it’s this rubber bung that’s swollen due to the wrong clutch fluid used that’s getting stuck and not moving fluidly back through the cylinder after pressure release and thus not pushing the pedal back up so anyway I got this newer clutch slave cylinder from a car metal salvage yard and saved a lot of money i haven’t tested the car as yet because I’m not sure how bleed the clutch with it completely empty which is why I’m also writing this tutorial…did I need to fill up the clutch slave cylinder before install? Or will gravity do that work or? Thanks for reading

I own and drive one of these superb cars,it is so awesome ,I love this car,it is so fast when you nail it and it is so smooth ,his name is Rodney lol,

Hiya was wondering i live in the UK, havent had my own car since 2016, been renting out cars but id like to get my own car, used, would it be ok if i bought a honda civic 10th gen car at around 50k-70k mileage with the SR trim ? ive heard about the oil dilution problems, but im not sure if its ok for me to get that car with 50-70k mileage - it will probably be a honda civic 1.6 I-DTEC SR (diesel) or 1.5 VTEC Turbo SR (petrol) - UK versions of the car. thanks if u respond. Last time I driven when i had my own car was when I had the ep3 and i had that for a good 5 years but in this current age the oil dilution sort of put me off with the 10th gen model, im not wanting a brand new car, just used car.

Hi is this still available?

I have a civic tourer , great car but quite tricky to get comfortable in and the standard infotainment is pretty poor.

Sold?

You finally got one in then! Pity there wasn't one around with you guys when I was looking for my 2.2 iDTEC. The one I got was not quite as described at 53k miles but I agree, the engine is great, it was in need of a good service and the thermostat was stuck open. Not as powerful as my old 2.2 iCTDi but that was remapped. This one will be getting remapped soon. One thing I had to do was modify the brake pedal as there was a bracket on it that kept catching on the top of my shoes. I've removed this and no issues with car control. One thing I did note, the brakes on this 2.2 model are a massive improvement over the old one. The heater controls are more fiddly compared to the 8th gen Civic.

I have a crv with the same engine it goes like a train

Great car if not that rust. Own it, 7y on the road and already rust or a roof, under wind shield rubber. I was ok with rust under the car, but the roof... From a technical perspective - great.

I’m looking at purchasing one of these as my next car, I’ve watched a few of your videos on them and with it being a Honda you know it will be reliable especially because it’s a pre turbo era for the petrol that is. Based on the engines that being 1.8 & 1.6 which would you say is the best?

When I will get my driver's license, I will go for this car. I think it has the reliability of a Japanese car while looking good like a German car at a good price. I never touched the car in my life but I fell in love with it

looks like lots of fun! some fast cars there!

I totally agree with the video appraisal of this car. I have owned a 2.4 exec auto model for 16 years, and it has been a fantastic car. Powerful and smooth to drive, with all the features that you are hard pressed to find in a car today. Like electric sunroof, electric front seats, comfortable all real leather seats and interior. I have been looking around for a car to replace it, but a similar bmw or merc would cost a fortune, and still be unreliable. So I am going to keep my car. I'll spend a bit on new wheels, brake disks and exhaust, and save myself 30 grand.

didnt know they sold that drivetrain in that smaller car, turns out thats because it wasnt in america . toyota matrix was a yaris type car with 2.4 or 2.5 liter, always wondered what sort of miles per gallon you could get like that with proper driving

Hey there. These cars are very rare here in scotland for sale at the moment. Im fed up of paying monthly for new cars and looking to buy a car out right, im between this or the gen after. What gen would you advise. I have a four post ramp so will be looking to do most servicing myself. Also 2.0 or 2.4 i mainly drive b roads and towns so not sure if 2.4 worth it. Thanks

Hello, is this car still available please? Tnanks.

This was a great video mate, really gave me the feeling of being a passenger in this beautiful car. It looks so hunkered down in the cockpit. I bet it feels incredible to drive. Lips out the whole time .

😮 working on 2015 Gen4 Cr-V 2.0 petrol 👍🏽💪🏽Thank You🫂🇿🇦

Ive just obtained a honda civic1.8 on an 06 plate and what youve stated on this your video and i totally agree with you on every note and from now on im 100% hooked on hondas❤

I've seen from owners groups on FB that you can play out an Amazon Fire stick on the LCD screen via the HDMI socket (picking up wifi or mobile data). Very handy!

My CRV 1.6 diesel gave similar mpg, great car nice drive and huge boot.

Car looks lovely and i wish i bought something like that especially from a reputable dealer like yourself. I bought my first car in 2022, a 2011 Honda Jazz CVT, from a private seller but he was a dealer as it turned out but not a registered dealer, anyways he didn't let me test drive the car in peace, he put a lot of pressure on me and it was my first time buying a car so i felt overwhelmed and i ended up buying the car. I eventually realised the car has a bad CVT, the transmission makes a whining or bearing noise and it is means the whole trans needs to be replaced if i could find one which i cant at a reasonable price. I am now stuck with a car with a bad transmission, after being fooled by unscrupulous guy who sold it to me, now i can't sell the jazz for anything more than £2000 either because i wish to be honest with whoever i make a deal with, I've lost thousands of £ in value as a result. I just wish i bought a car like from yourself instead.... 😢 It was my first car and i am devastated by it and since he isn't a proper dealer i can't get my money back. I'm going to get rid of the Jazz in the future and get a Lexus IS or GS from a reputable dealer but I'm genuinely so upset

Another honda man ! I've had 3 accords, and a Legend KB1, which I still own. I know exactly what you mean by honda. They never feel old !

How do we get in touch regards this Honda? Cheers

The CR-Z is the only broadly affordable warm hatch I'm looking forward to the opportunity to drive. These look fantastic. And the dashboard was strangely futuristic and classic at the same time, making it look like a great place to be. The drivetrain tech is fascinating. And Honda manual gearboxes are indeed among the best ever. This particular car looks like a very good example.

greeting. whether switching from turtle to rabbit uses a clutch or not?

I have exactly the same car a 2016 one, its the best car I've had

Nice cars but the paint is very soft it will start to blister on roof first and fall off then rust honda paint is very poor indeed

I’m on my 4th one I picked my last one up two days ago 2 owners full dealer history with only 112k miles zero rot anywhere good honest car been in dry storage 11 years had to do a few minor things to it to get it through mot like service, battery tyres breaks etc but since I’ve had mot done I been using it and omg the car feels soooo perfect doubt I’d be selling it anytime soon.

I have the Legend 3e generation now for 10 years, the car is from October 2006, total km's 390.000. It is still going smooth. I had also the first and second generation. I drive Honda since 1985.
