New Honda vehicles with tiny turbo engines and CVTs are not that much more reliable...

Here’s one...possibly more than million engines affected. And CVTs...yuck, even when they operate right.

I recently started researching Honda Passport as a potential addition to the garage, and it looks like it’s plagued with infotainment issues, Honda sensing is absolute shit (owners refer to it as non-sensing) and on top of that there have been transmission failures here and there...so I wrote it off.

I am definitely not a fan of cvt transmissions. Interesting they are having such a hard time with the engines. It appears their quality control has gone down.

Definitely not gonna buy one without stacking two hockey bags in the trunk and sticks over the back seat to make sure we can do it. If it doesn't fit then I'd consider a Sportwagen but that might be too much of a fun downgrade coming from my Si.
Still deciding if I want to make a move this year or wait one more year. Some days I get in my Si and it's like "hell yeah" and other days it's like "i hate this car." Slushy streets have started hitting in Ontario and I'm sure dying for that reverse camera that's not designed to get absolutely covered in crap after 3 minutes of driving.

You can hop up a Sportwagen also.

Civic SI's don't come in automatics. Honda automatics aren't as bad as they used to be but their manual is far superior to the VW trash manual (Wish I had DSG). That said if you want the auto option, nothing is better than the VW DSG IMO.

They already did a software update for the ECU on my car for the fuel dilution issue in the turbo. There are people saying that's still not enough to fix the issue. They also just released a warranty extension for a pretty common issue with the AC. It's good that they're taking care of this stuff but it's bad that it's breaking in the first place.

Updating this thread for anyone googling trying to see if you can fit two hockey bags in the trunk of a Mk7 golf: yes with the cargo cover removed you can stack two hockey bags and get the door closed no problem.
I drove Honda’s for a while. The vw is a superior product. I have not read the comments, just the original post. Sell your car on your own, its not difficult, it‘s just effort. Yours will sell. Buy a certified pre owned gti, look for the one you like. Leasing, unless you are claiming against a business, is a huge waste of cash - and don’t be a pussy about the manual. It’s the shit.
