Are new Honda's even reliable? Everyone used to consider them as good as Toyota but now it seems people are sceptical of them

Because with the 10th gen Honda Civic, Honda ditched the conventional automatic transmission for a CVT known for breaking down. The manuals are fine.
Oddly enough, the sister car, the Acura ILX, uses a superior 8 speed DCT, which is arguably the best DCT on the market. And it uses the 200 HP 2.4L K24 from the last gen Civic Si as standard.

You can't even buy a new manual Civic in Australia, and Acuras aren't sold here unfortunately
>You can't even buy a new manual Civic in Australia
That's sad. In America, almost every trim of the Civic has a manual option, with the Si and Type R models being manual only.
>Honda ditched the conventional automatic transmission for a CVT known for breaking down
I haven't heard anything about Honda's CVTs breaking down and I work for Honda.
Shieeeet.
I have an 13 Accord CVT with 120k miles now but I haven't had any problems at all.
Better interior and even number of doors
A 10th Gen civic is better than a Focus. Both the SI and ST, not to be confused with the R and RS, are kind of seen more as trims than a separate car.
What I am saying is that the road to buying an SI starts with wanting to buy a Civic.
>8.3k screamer K20
which years? I have an 08 and it redlines at 8k
Unless you mean fuel cut off.
