Sequel to the thread above, I'm thinking of upgrading to 2006 - 2011 Civic. The 2001 Civic I bought last year was a very good purchase. Very reliable and economic. I'm glad I settled for it.

Now I'm thinking of moving up to the next generation. So I want to ask about the 2006 - 2011 version. Good purchase too? I read somewhere about the factory-fitted engine getting damaged after some years of use, true?

I need experts and users opinions please. How good a purchase is the 2006 - 2011 generation. Fuel consumption, reliability and efficiency

I have 2 people who bought the 06 to 11 brand-new and I have only seen both cars get worked on twice for both and it's always leg work in front what mechanic Is changing or doing can't guess they have used both for approximately 4years plus. The generation after 11 too is been used by a woman also bought brand-new they have never worked on that to my viewing infact she has never opened the bonnet before that one is 3yeara plus.

Civic has always been reliable since it's inception nah Accord K-leg dey give am bad customer choice.

well I know people using these year models as daily drivers with no major issues.... just the normal wear and tear that all cars experience....
one more thing...
mechs don't like the vehicle so u might need to spend more time @ the mech for anything major....

I think it's majorly due to the cramped up engine bay....

overall, the ride is OK and a nice step up for you in just 1yr...

congrats....

you will be doing yourself good if you do. It's a great car. I also now have my eyes set on the car

Honda civic and CRV is bullets proof for Nigeria roads with tough engine and suspension system decent performance high abuse tolerance peace of mind when you maintain it very well

Even Jesus was in one Accord

Nice one.

Honda really got the economy class right with civics. I've been impressed with my car and also impressed by a neighbor's own (07) which I have handled 3 times.

Make I start to dey put eyes for ground then. Thanks boss

And the car is closer to the ground than the 2001 - 05 generation. So one will drive with more care on bad roads

Car is solid. Good fuel consumption. Reliable and nice shape. The only thing i see is that the ground clearance is low. But that is same thing with Camry spider.

Just go for 09 model and above.

Most times, its always good to by a facelifted model. That's my opinion. In most case, nagging issues with the model are corrected in the facelift model

most of the Error you have is electrical, probably you have entered a high depth water, rat have eaten your wires or the sensors have given up due to old age.

Start by finding a good Rewire to trace the wires, you will also need a multimeter to check for breaks in those sensors.

Ok. Thanks sir. I have indeed entered water on Lagos roads. The roads have been a mess

anytime you enter depth of water for a distance endeavor to check the underneath, when you notice wires dangling, fix them back, I think Lagos flood water has hands that remove clips making wires and sensor dangling dangerously all it remains is a log to finish the damaged job.
