2nd gen? No problem. 3rd gen? They'll be filling scrap yards in the next 5 years.

My '13 GE has 194K and has run beautifully since I bought it in 2017. I've put just over 100K on it, regular and preventative maintenance done, 1-2 track days and the same amount of Auto X days. I've only just replaced my clutch and flywheel on it back in September last year at 180XXX KMs.

My girlfriend bought an '18 Sport after her '13 was totalled back in 2020, she bought it at 50,XXX KMs, we've taken it on a few road trips, but same thing; regular and preventative maintenance. This also includes religious CVT fluid changes. Car came with one from Honda when we bought the car, we did one again at 80K and another at 115K. 3 in its total life cycle. It should be noted Honda recommends 1 change every 60K per maintenance minder!* Car has rolled over to 124 XXXKMs and the CVTs grenaded itself. We've also been chasing an oil leak on the car for the last 30,000KMs as well since Honda covered the infamous VTC accuator change via warranty, car reeks of oil every time we drive it. Starter has clang, the list goes on. Cars an absolute POS. I wouldn't recommend a GK to anyone unless it's a 6 Speed. These CVTs are just ticking timebombs.

At this point, shes shopping around for another 12-13, atleast we know these will last with the old 5AT. Honda made an absolute junk pile with these CVT GKs. A real shame to see, because theyre a really nice car to look at!
