dude, if you’re looking at a 2009 Honda Civic, you gotta keep an eye on a few things. Like, the automatic transmission can be kinda sketchy. I had a buddy whose Civic would jerk like it was dancing. Not a good look.
And then there’s the engine misfire thing. I mean, one day, my car just started shaking like it was having a mini party. Had to replace some spark plugs, and ughh, not cheap.
Also, the AC might start blowing hot air. Like, hello, summer? Seriously, if you’re sweating behind the wheel, that’s a problem.
have you checked the brakes? they tend to squeal after a while. so annoying, right? just keep these things in mind, and you’ll be golden.
I ve noticed the brakes can be kinda weak in my friend’s Civic in Michigan. A bit annoying during winter drives.
Also the AC compressor likes to throw in the towel unexpectedly. So fun when you’re sweating in traffic.
Had a 2009 Civic up in Canada that rusted way too fast I ve seen others with the same issue
Watch out for the transmission too it can act funny sometimes
I ve had my 2009 Civic in California for years now and honestly the main thing I’ve noticed is the transmission can be a bit weird sometimes especially when accelerating.
Plus watch out for suspension noises that’s no fun at all.
I had a 2009 Civic in Michigan and the transmission started acting up around 100k miles.
Check engine light was a regular visitor too.
I had a 2009 Civic in Toronto and it was pretty solid but the transmission started acting up around 100k miles. I’ve heard from buddies in the States it can be a common issue.
Also watch out for rust on the body especially if you’re near saltwater. The headlights kinda fade over time too. Still a fun drive though and great on gas for sure.
I had a 2009 Civic and loved it but the transmission started acting weird around 120k miles. Real bummer.
Also be wary of the AC issues it can go from icy cold to nothing in seconds.
Overall not a bad ride but keep an eye out.
had a 2009 Honda Civic in Toronto and the transmission acted weird sometimes. really watch for that also the paint tends to chip easily. I’ve seen it happen.
I’ve had my 2009 Honda Civic for a couple years now in Canada and it’s been solid but I had a slight issue with the air conditioning last summer.
Ive heard others complain about transmission problems but other than that mine runs pretty smooth. Just keep an eye on the suspension and brakes. Overall decent little car though really.
Ive had my 2009 Civic for a while now and honestly the engine problems started creeping in around the 100k mark. Kinda frustrating when you think it will last longer.
Oh and the rear suspension squeaks sometimes like a haunted house on wheels. Just gotta roll with it.
Ive had my 2009 Civic for a while now here in Canada and I gotta say the rust on those rear wheel wells is no joke.
Also the battery issue seems to pop up more than I’d like. You think you’re good then boom dead battery. Just something to keep an eye on if you’re driving this model.
But overall it runs like a charm and gets great gas mileage so can’t complain too much ya know.
I had a 2009 Honda Civic in Canada for a few years
Started noticing some weird noises from the suspension just before winter
The transmission can be a pain too my friend had to replace his at around 120K
Although it’s a solid little car I’ve also heard about engine issues so kinda mixed feelings here
Just keep an ear out for those signs while driving
