Avoid Driving Honda Civic Models in Heavy Rain

Experts have consistently warned that the Honda Civic, especially the Reborn, Rebirth, and X models, is not suited for rainy conditions. The car’s intake inlet is positioned directly behind the front bumper, making it highly vulnerable when roads are flooded after heavy rain.

On the night of August 9th, Heavy rain struck in Islamabad, although the city’s drain system is far superior to any else where in Pakistan but still, several Honda Civics were seen stranded on the roadside, likely due to water entering the engine through the inlet—a situation that can lead to severe and costly engine damage.

To prevent such risks, it’s crucial to avoid driving your Honda Civic during heavy rain. It’s better to pull over and wait for the rain to stop than to face the potential expense and hassle of repairing a water-damaged engine. If you own a Honda Civic, particularly the Reborn, Rebirth, or X models, consider this a serious caution. The 11th generation might also share this vulnerability, so it’s advisable to be equally cautious with this model.
