[hard head]

Good day i am looking to buy a ES8 civic would like to know what u all think of the car and if any what problems do this model face.Aslo it has the D15 engine is this vtec or not .

[konartis]

i have two co-workers with these ES8 civics...both had transmission problems, and had to order some sensor for it, they always complain...lol

[hard head]

any more reviews

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Heard real negative things about it especially transmission issues. I have a EG8 and won't be buying another Civic again. Might be looking into something more simple for the poorer man.

Once yuh have plenty money then by all means by Honda.

well we got one 5 yrs now and only problem we had was that the starter failed.....never had any tranny problems and it still works perfect! I would wanna think it comes down to how you maintain your vehicle.

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

well the guy I know who had tranny problems they never changed transmission oil they running it 9 years on the same oil so not sure if that might have a part to play.

[hard head]

well to me after 9 years that oil bound to fail

[blackss]

^^^^exactly!!! rellll men doesnt wanna change anything in their car but when smtn go wrong, the car is mess!!!! and they would go on and on complaining about it

Had mine a while now, doing 173,000 miles, the only problem I ever had was the transmission. Re-built the transmission early last year, and so far so good.

thanks man

know this is an old thread, don't know if you're still interested, but I have an es8 bought it last year, its a local used. From my experience, its a very comfortable car, very quiet ride, very responsive and feels firm on the road. The lack of a hump in the back makes it more spacious for those in the back. My car is a 1.5 non vtec, and its very good on gas, i have managed 550kms for 130$ super a couple times, most of the times i get 500kms, with mixed driving, a/c on. I had to rebuild my transmission shortly after purchasing the vehicle, the transmission guy (keith Charles) said the fluid wasn't changed for quite a while, poor maintenance by the previous owners caused me that stress, but since then, the car shifts smoothly, and feels very responsive. Parts for this car cost a lot more than the the ek series civic, but it doesn't really call for anything much...all in all, a really good car, a great family vehicle.

ES is trouble! doh buy that!

Ask any experienced honda men.

[SubyDude]

have mine seven years now bought roro never had a problem yet(knock on wood) just never modified nun engine wise everything oem and changed on time

the only thing ive changed more than once is the front wheel bearings

[Aaron 2NR]

i had an ES5...it has a normal 4 speed transmission whereas the ES8 has a CVT

[hard head]

I doh think is cvt mine is ah local car .could be wrong

[redrum]

This model civic is an epic fail, not much performance parts available for these engines. The only thing it's good on is gas. Tranny failure is a norm, together with EPS and Cam and crank sensor sudden failure.

Apart from that a complete foreign used engine and tranny goes for 10 grand!

bro buy any civic ek4 and below .. only if your a rich guy go beyond dat... es8 hav electric steering rack i think.. and its hard to get i think... my opinion ..

[speed freak]

Have my es8 2 years .. No problems thus far..
