Honda Car Forum

The mileage is a little over 155,000, new brake, new water pump, new timing belt. What do you all think, will this baby make a 1200 miles trip? Any suggestion? or i should rent a car for the trip?I bought this car 2 months ago, it has been running really well.

Only the person that drives this car every day can really tell you, based on the frequency of the failures of the same car.If that were my car and be deem in good shape, I would not hesitate in driving it 1200 miles

Honda's can go up to around 300,000 miles if well maintained.

Yes!! And it will be ready to go another 1200 miles without a problem.With all the work you have done, you should have no concerns or problems.However, get the transmission fluid changed before your trip.

It should be able make it there and back.

Just to be sure, have extra oil on hand...older cars tend to burn oil easier. And just check all the fluids and tire tread before you leave. Simple things that should be done anyway. Oh and check the spark plugs too. And 155000 is nothing on a Honda. Have fun!

Yea, it's a Honda. Dont worry about any reparis and such, have faith in your Civic. Honda engines can last up to 300,000+ if you take of it. You wont need alot of repairs, you'll probably need some gas and thats about it. 1200 x 2 = 2400 so you wont need an oil change. Have fun.
