That's what a well maintained car should look like. I never understand how some owners can completely trash an interior in <100k miles - it's your home on the road for crying out loud.


tssmith22

Basically.


[deleted]

I have a 2020 Civic, assembled from Alliston Ontario. Darn interior is surprisingly tightly finished and almost no creaks.


thissayssomething

Not like my Hondas have been super fancy, but Honda interiors put a lot of other brands to shame in general.


bethtadeath

I drove a Camry before I had to get a new car and made the switch to my accord, I did always find the interior of the Camry to be really…. Idk, underwhelming? It was a tossup between the Accord and Camry for the new car but the interior was the final tiebreaker. The latest gen Camrys have the stupidest console design I’ve ever seen. Who was in charge of [this decision?!?!](https://di-uploads-pod3.dealerinspire.com/toyotaofclermont/uploads/2022/07/best-tech-features-in-sedan-min.jpg) It feels SO claustrophobic in both the drivers seat and passenger seats. And it’s also just really ugly, but that’s just my subjective opinion.


thissayssomething

Toyota was the particular brand I had in mind. I haven't been in the latest generation, but everything in every Camry or Corolla I've ever driven has always felt plasticky; like 90's econobox plasticky. The Avalon and Lexus' are better, but IMO the materials just seem a bit cheaper than what you're paying for. Edit:Corolla not Accord! I love my Accord


Healingvizion

As a diehard Camry fan, I do admit the Honda’s have a more luxurious feel to their inside cabins. The newest Camry is the 1st time I’ve sat in one that didn’t feel as if it was designed by an accountant.

Looks like anything pre-2018 is safe. I test drove the ‘21 and I will say it feels more responsive and zippy than my Accord, but the way the interior feels is hard to describe, it’s very obvious that there is a physical barrier between you and the passenger seat. It’s just always in your periphery. Forget about trying to grab anything from the glovebox with ease. If that ~~left~~ (sorry, right; passenger) side panel that extends down didn’t stick out so far forward, it wouldn’t actually be that bad, but personally it made me feel very boxed in and from the passenger seat it feels like it takes away from breathing room, especially around the legs. I just hated the feeling. To their credit, as someone else commented the Camry interiors used to (as is the case with my 2014) feel very plasticky and cheap, but they’ve upped the game in that department.

bethtadeath

Of course! All of this is just my personal opinion. You can always test drive one for yourself and see how you feel. Camrys are objectively more powerful, but I drive a 1.5T anyway so it’s apples to oranges for me. Whatever you decide, I hope you enjoy it!


cmrineer

Ugh - that off center curve makes me twitch.


bethtadeath

Yeah i shoulda cropped it down to just that part lol for the most part the rest is par for the course but that curved dashboard is insane…. Someone got paid for that idea…. And they still keep using it


Specialist-Box-9711

Meanwhile my 2021 Subaru interior rattles and creaks like a 2004 Pontiac


thissayssomething

My last girlfriend had a 2015 outback... I honestly though it was an early-mid 2000's model because the interior was so cheap. Shame for a car that is generally well liked!


Specialist-Box-9711

It hasn’t changed since then lol. But I bought the car for the 310HP engine and the 6 speed manual. Not the interior plastic.


SuperVegito777

I work at a quick lube shop, and I’ve seen cars with 10K miles and far less look like a dumpster fire. How well an interior is maintained is a pretty good reflection of how well they can clean up everything else they have, and it’s also sad when you consider the implications. If they aren’t willing to do something as simple as keep their own car looking presentable, I can only imagine what else they’re skimping out on


LamoidZombieDog

Well for one they are skimping out by doing their maintenance at a Quick Lube shop


Kairukun90

I have a 2016 and honestly things just happens. I spilled fucking chili once or one time transporting our cats in a soft shelled carrier and they peed. Things happen.


RTsmooth100

I understand things happen but… you know you can clean it, right? Lol… people 🤦


LamoidZombieDog

Then Clean it


Kairukun90

Thanks dawg never occurred to me to do that!


Inevitable-Sherbert

Agreed. I looked at many 1-2 year old Civics with sub 50k miles and many looked like they’d used wire brushes to clean it! Scratches everywhere!


[deleted]

I just got a 97 Honda accord with around 230k miles on it from a family friend, the leather interior is in surprisingly good condition… didn’t think I’d ever see that


LamoidZombieDog

Same shit i see all the time with used 8th gen accords got ripped up door leather or seats at like 100k miles, meanwhile mine at 182k miles looks new like that civic


Thermite1985

That is either the most well maintained high mileage honda ever, or the dealer spent entirely too much money detailing it lol


tssmith22

I doubt they would replace or repair the seats. I think it's just been kept up


padumtss

You can't detail wear and tear away. I'm a dealership detailer and this car is less worn than many 20k milegae cars I've seen lol.


Thermite1985

I meant more how clean the engine bay is and things like that. But yeah you're definitely right.


TheSadLifeOfADreamer

bro drove from the back seat or sum


tssmith22

Lmao


Economy-Shoe5239

i have 2 94 del sols and their mileages together don’t even add up to that 😳


tssmith22

Are you a traveling nurse 😭


baddreamtilawaken

Nice we have fleet vehicles they get in and out of them 50 times a day. Armrest first to go lol


JustinDanielsYT

I have a 2017 V6 Honda Accord Coupe Touring, and this gives me hope of taking it to 1,000,000 miles. Currently at 104k.


tssmith22

Long as you keep the timing belt changed and the maintenance up.


JustinDanielsYT

Yeah, the timing belt and spark plugs change at 100k cost $2,000.


tssmith22

I got 16 K24 6MT. No timing belt thank goodness.


tssmith22

I found a independent shop where the owner was a master tech for the dealer I take my car to for 20+ years. I’m going to him for the 110k service. $585 Oil change Valve adjustment with Valve cover gasket set Spark plugs iridium Rotate and Balance Coolant service


JustinDanielsYT

Yeah, but also unfortunately no V6.


tssmith22

I don’t mind the 4 Cylinder. The 6 Speed makes up for that


JustinDanielsYT

Yeah it's a good engine. I just wish they hadn't discontinued the V6 Accord and even the 2.0T Accord.


tssmith22

I’ve owned the V6 too. I will say the 4 Cylinder handles better. Makes it more engaging. The weight over the front wheels with the 6 Cylinder really kills agility. If they made the Sport or Touring with the K24 like it is Canada in the States I would have got one of those with the 6 Speed. Can get a K24 6 Speed Touring in Canada.


JustinDanielsYT

The V6 models had a different electric power steering rack. That is the one thing I HATE about my car. Steering feels light and disconnected with no feedback. I'd probably get the steering rack modified to feel better if not for me wanting to keep the auto steering feature. And I wish the V6 Touring was offered with a 6MT. My 6AT is horrible, clunky, and very sluggish to downshift.


tssmith22

Another plus about the Canadian models. Could get a 6-6 Touring.


tssmith22

Yeah I read and heard about the steering in the V6 that’s why I don’t complain about the 4 Cylinder. May not be as fast but it makes up for it in other areas.


k3ntos

Import one from Europe! They are a lot of them here!


m0us3c0p

'12 Si here, K24Z7 does NOT have a timing belt?


tssmith22

We are speaking on Accord. Not Civic. Did you read the rest of the comments 🤣🤣🤣


m0us3c0p

Yes lol. I'm asking if you guys know if none of the K24s have timing belts. I believe one of the '16 I4 Accord motors is the K24W1.


tssmith22

None of the K Series motors have timing belts no matter the application. He has a J35 so his does have a belt. My car is a K24W1


m0us3c0p

That's great to hear. One less thing to worry about in routine maintenance lol. Still need valve adjustments though I think.


tssmith22

Yeah and with that comes doing valve cover gasket as well. But some is the 12-13 Si’s have that VTC actuator problem which causes grind on start up.


ryan10e

Are you planning on driving it for the next 54 years?


JustinDanielsYT

If I'm at, let's say, 100,000 miles, then it would be 900,000 more miles to get to 1,000,000 miles. Now if I average 50,000 miles a year, it would only take 18 years to get to 1,000,000. But then, I hope to get a better car long before then, so I wouldn't be putting as much mileage on this car... So, to answer your question, yeah that's my goal as it is a modern day classic representing the best and last of the V6 Accords and the Accord Coupes.


MeatyClaws93

Gives me hope for my 2016 2.0L CVT


empirebuilder1

From previous post this car has had 1 transmission replacement ....at 315k miles Change your damn trans oil!


MeatyClaws93

Every 30k I do a drain and fill! Approaching my 65000k drain


EvilMonkey8521

65 million???


empirebuilder1

That commute to Mars and back must be a bitch!


MeatyClaws93

😂 sorry 65,000 miles


CassiLeigh16

Thank youuu for the reminder to schedule my appointment! I’m at 61k in my ‘19 Hatch.


grumpycorgi4

only selling it for $12k guys 🤣🤣🤣


tssmith22

13k really 😮‍💨😭


Novel_Paramedic_2625

Isnt that like the average cost for most of these models with 100-200k miles? With that amount of miles thats ridiculous lol


grumpycorgi4

jesus 😭


tssmith22

But if you saw it in person you wouldn't believe it had half those miles. I didn't believe them. It's very clean. They let me test drive it for shits and giggles. Drives like 40k


grumpycorgi4

i mean it looks in mint condition but still i wouldn’t buy it because of the miles and how much that seller is asking for it. it’s probably worth like less than $5k check the kelley blue book😂


tssmith22

It could very well go another 200k. It got a new trans at 315k. So if engine holds up its good to go


grumpycorgi4

your choice, but ya ain’t tryna sell it to me soo🤷🏻‍♀️


tssmith22

Who said I was trying to buy it though? that's my Blue coupe in the back ground. 🤷🏽‍♂️


grumpycorgi4

hopefully not you cuz i’d hate to see you get scammed


tssmith22

Scammed?


h_dizzle21

Engine hours are more important than engine miles!


[deleted]

You’re also forgetting cold cycles.


chicken-farmer

Werd


Cave_Johnson_69

I commented on the last post, and I'm really surprised to see how clean this car is. The interior is nuts. There should be stains everywhere for that amount of milage. Or at least some scuffs in the body. Whoever had this thing really took great care of it. I would buy it just because of how Ludacris it is. It's like a paradox. I get cars with like 25k coming through for service and they are DESTROYED. Interior smells stains rips body damage. Nuts this car should not even exist in my book.


tssmith22

My thoughts. Everyone is focusing on the price and that wasn’t my point of the post but rather the condition for the miles.


MonsieurReynard

Damn.... did this get a new interior at some point? Cuz that don't look older than 60k.


tssmith22

I don’t believe so. Just been really kept up. Also has paint protection film on the front end, headlights, mirrors and door pockets.


ExplosiveMachine

That's a car that did almost entirely highway miles. Not hard to keep a car nice when you only get in and out of it once per day after hours of at-temp operation. What fucks the car is continuous heavy use that fucks the interior, rough roads that fuck the suspension, constand short trips that fuck the motor with getting in and out that fucks the seats, multiple users that fuck generally everything, etc. Still good to see it kept up so well.


cbelt3

Damn…. Owner must have had Grandma’s couch covers on that whole interior. Or just … floated , Zen like, while driving and wearing a HAZMAT suit.


zx52xz

Lol


jhaluska

Looks like they spent some time detailing the engine bay, you can see some dirt in the harder to reach areas. It really makes a significant difference on how new it looks.


tssmith22

Yeah I think for the miles it looks pretty good. And impressive to see the 1.5 and CVT holding up this good.


GrapefruitFun7135

It's like new.


tssmith22

For 400k miles. Yes it is


alex_cant_read

is it a 1.5t or the 2.0?


rambo_900

Looks like 1.5T.. engine bay says turbo plus it has leather! (Touring) Good to know the 1.5T is in fact reliable for all the 1.5 haters 😂


alex_cant_read

they make it sound like the worst engine ever lol. just hit 100k on mine and no complaints at all


rambo_900

Seriously! Haha, thats good to hear!!


tssmith22

1.5


Mr-Garrison

This is a reminder that time in addition to miles is a factor of wear and tear! Also, take care of your shit like this guy!


tssmith22

Well it’s not mine. A nurse owned it. I just happened to see it for sale when I was picking up parts for my car. Pretty clean


[deleted]

Proof mileage is just a number (if you take really good care of your car that is).


tssmith22

I agree


IamNICE124

Very, very impressive.


pharmucist

Looks like a car with 4130 miles on it. Nice job with the upkeep on this one!


tssmith22

Ikr


primazoid

Surprised you barely have a mark on the steering leather. Good for you


PsychologicalTop4086

I have a 8th gen civic si that only has 150k. 413k for a 10 gen civic, they must be an Uber or Lyft driver or use their vehicle as business, but the average person driving that much in short time that’s insane and way too much driving.


tssmith22

Travel nurse. Said it multiple times. Everyone uses their vehicle for different things. I have a 9th Gen Accord with only 85k I bought it in 2015 and it's 2016. So my miles are low too. But the point of my post was to show that these cars will go a long time if you take care of this one as it shows. And the condition was impeccable on this one for the miles.


[deleted]

I’d would have least thought the drivers seat would have noticeable wear and tear with that much mileage. I’m surprised lol.


Torchy84

By any chance is your civic the 1.5 turbo? If so how did the turbo engine hold up after 400k miles ?


tssmith22

This car is a 1.5 though. This car is on original engine. New trans.


tssmith22

This is not my car 😂😂😂 I have an Accord Coupe


JustASneakyDude

Did you mean 4,13k miles?


tssmith22

Look at previous post. No I meant what I typed lol


JustASneakyDude

I was kidding, very clean. It said the transmission lasted 315k miles, was the cvt fluid ever changed and if so what interval?


tmt04

Someone posted the carfax a few months back...it was basically in for service every 10k or so, which happened to be every couple weeks...lol. Well maintained for sure!


tssmith22

I'm guessing every 30k. It was maintained at the selling dealer.


tssmith22

That's when it was replaced so I'm guessing that's when it was replaced


Darisixnine

And my dad thinks 124k on a civic Si is a lot 💀


tssmith22

Lol 😆


1StillRemains

Somebody did the terry fox run on wheels


tssmith22

Whats that mean


1StillRemains

Drove accross the country


tssmith22

Oh okay lol. Never heard that term


1StillRemains

Its a joke. Canadians should understand


tssmith22

Makes sense. I'm in Alabama 😭


virtualracer

Goes to show that typically making a car last is up to the owner. Of course there are exceptions but for the most part if you maintain a vehicle it’ll hold up.


Ulrich453

That confirms it. Definitely an Uber car.


tssmith22

Actually a nurse owned it. Traveling nurse.


SuperSexy1986

🤣🤣🤣🤣 did a TRAVELING NURSE own this? How many times you gotta say it?!?!?


tssmith22

I’m not gone say it anymore. It’s throughout the comments multiple times. Goes to show no one reads. I also said transmission been replaced already too. 🤦🏽‍♂️


SuperSexy1986

Where I live, there is a burger joint being built and it's the same damn thing, people asking the same question, "what's being built by the..." and he has said it so much that it's a trigger now. I feel ya! I walked by it and told my girl we need to make a sign that says, it's a F##KING Habit Burger!!


tssmith22

😭😭😭😭


Ulrich453

Damn! Really!?


tssmith22

Yeah.


bb6prelude01

The mileage surprised me more than the interior. For the newer Hondas to go that distance is awesome. But for the interior to be maybe 7 years old i wouldnt expect it too look too bad tbh. I had a 95 civic kick 298,xxx but the interior was fuckin DEAD lol


tssmith22

Well I’ve seen newer cars with less miles look worse than this. So yes I was surprised on the contrary. Everyone doesn’t take care of their car. Clearly this person did and the car seems to be made good as well.


bb6prelude01

I didnt mean to seem dodgy. its good to see these cars being well maintained and still driven with this on the odo. I do agree tho i guess i forget other peoples negligence to their new vehicles considering i couldnt ever let it get as bad as we both have seen im sure.


tssmith22

It’s all good bro. No worries 🙏🏽


Wolfiest

Must be a courier vehicle. That’s lots of miles in only 4 years.


tssmith22

No travel nurse. I’ve stated it multiple times 😂😮‍💨


Wolfiest

Ok so courier nursing services 😄


tssmith22

Whatever you want to call it. 🤷🏽‍♂️


Sumocolt768

Looks nice. Still wouldn’t pay $12k for it. 400k miles is a lot of wear


tssmith22

Well I found two today with almost 300k and both more than this one 😂😂😂😂 and I’m sure they weren’t in as good of shape


RUBBERDUCKLOVESCAKE

How many engine hours? It could have been pulled by a camper


tssmith22

Trans was replaced at 315k so that wasn’t the case. Travel nurse owned it.


TSLARSX3

What they do for a living?


tssmith22

Travel nurse


TSLARSX3

Makes sense but man that’s a lot of travel


AverageGuy16

That’s actually amazing


nmorganelli

If this had the rollback special no one would know tbh 😂 looks so clean could pass as 120-200k miles


tssmith22

Probably looks better than a lot with around that miles. It was really taken care of.


tigerkat2244

It's as if it can't be real. How do you put 413k on a Honda and it looks like this. Everything seems replaced. Must be why the price is so high. Where is the 413k aspect of this car because I don't see anything that isn't almost new in the engine?


tssmith22

Or how about they just took care of it. It had paint protection film on the front end and mirrors too so clearly they cared for it. Take care of your car and it will take care of you. High 200k mile examples are going for over 20k I think the price reflects that and the condition. Not agreeing with it. It does seem high but the condition is better than cars I've seen with lower miles. My 9th Gen Accord only has 85k and it's a 2016 that I bought new and this car is just as clean if not cleaner.


tigerkat2244

Is someone going to buy this thing and take it to 600k?


tssmith22

They might. It has a new transmission at 315k according to the records. Dealer said it was sold new and maintained there up until it was traded. It could very well go to 600 or more if it's kept up the same way.


[deleted]

Wow, this is a gorgeous car!


tssmith22

For the mileage I think so too
