it was from the garbage head gasket era, and it still had its original factory head gaskets on it when I finally pulled the motor to turbo swap it earlier this year. It had 270,000km on it. So overall, for 10 years of ownership it was pretty damn reliable.

Zic gamit namin, currently at 120k, binuksan head gasket, walang bahid ng sludge. Basta lagi lang magpa changeoil.
The average cost for a Honda Civic Head Gasket Replacement is between $1,707 and $1,994.
I've owned a 2008 Outback (sold in 2018 with 110,000 miles when the head gasket failed). The consistent oil problems are troubling. But the pros have outweighed the cons so far, so I keep getting Subarus.
The Civic has a question mark with it's L15 turbo engine and premature failing head gaskets. Same issues seen in CR-V's with that engine. Not everybody is going to experience it, but it shows up often and is definitely a design weakness in that engine.
Latish model Nissan navaras, coolant leak from the left front of the headgasket area caused by the boost regulator failing and overbooking causing the headbolts to stretch haha
I just had my second head gasket replacement at like 110,000 miles, I looked at the invoice or receipt from Hyundai when i picked up the car… and tell me why the dealership is putting 5w-20 when it says 0w20 in the oil cap.. maybe that’s why their engines be blowing. :/ I have a 2021 Elantra se
At 70,000miles it started making a water sound right after turning it off. Months later I noticed a white smoke coming from the tail pipe. One day it gave me that code and started sputtering. Turns out the head gasket had cracked and was letting coolant into my engine pistons. It flooded it. I needed a whole engine replaced.
Maybe I’m the outsider but after 3 Subarus I’m done with them. Each was less durable, had more problems, and died with less miles on the odometer. Between head gaskets and that horrible CVT, I’m not fixing a car worth $4,000 with an estimate of $11,000
Horrible horrible cars. I owned a second hand MG ZS and almost everything shit itself - head gasket blew and I was too traumatised to continue fixing things on it outside warranty. Please do not buy an MG.
