'04 Civic EX at high rpms
Has anyone else noticed that the '04 Civic EX 5-speed runs at high RPMs. I
mean this is my first Honda, so maybe they all did this, but at about 3000 RPM in 5th gear I'm only doing about 60. Is this normal? Is the engine made to run this high, I assume it is or else they would not have made the gear ratio like that. On my old car, a plymouth POS, it liked to ride between 2,000 and 3,000, so I would shift around 3,000. Does this mean for the Civic I should be riding it between 3,000 and 4,000? Thanks for all the help guys! |
Re: '04 Civic EX at high rpms
Yes, i just bought a 04 civic LX automatic.... and i also thought that it
seemed to rev a lot highter than my past vehicles. At about 100km/hr it revs at 2,500rpm's where as my old 1999 toyota corolla would rev at about 1800rpm's at the same speed. I also notice that the civic has very poor power for such high rpm's in comparison to my old corolla that had a lot more pickup. But i think that's just the way the civic is, i have been in a few and they all rev high, so i am pretty sure this is normal for this car.

Is this normal? Is the engine made My 5th Gen Prelude runs 4200 at 80. Redline 7400. Hondas run well and reliably at higher rpm than most Detroit iron -- or is Mexican iron now. > to run this high, I assume it is or else they would not have made the gear > ratio like that. > > On my old car, a plymouth POS, it liked to ride between 2,000 and 3,000, so > I would shift around 3,000.
