Didn’t pull the trigger yesterday…
Car rode well, except for the brake pulsation which was pretty bad. Owner did tell me of this beforehand. From what I could tell, no maintenance done other than oil, air and cabin filters. Under the hood was a dirty filthy mess… Shifted like a dream, much smoother than my Civic.
Oil was between the marks on the dipstick and was only changed 2,000 miles ago. Stated that the quick change oil place stripped the oil pan drain plug a few years back and she had Honda replace the oil pan for $300. That $$ seemed a little low to me. The oil change sticker on her windshield revealed that she was still going to a “quick change” place, hopefully a different one…
One good door ding but otherwise all in all the body was pretty clean. Illegal window tint (she’s received 2 tickets for it). Yoko tires looked like they would need to be replaced in a year or so.
High mileage since she works as a courier.
This was the first 8th gen that I’ve driven. Kind of surprised at how “big” the car was, predominantly length wise. Loved the extra width over my Civic. The length, not-so-much…. Car seemed to have a softer suspension than the past Honda’s that I’ve driven. I’ve owned Hondas (Accords and Civics) since 1993.
What are your thoughts on a 2011 w/ 105K miles and minimal maintenance?
