  1. New rear brake pads and rotors after only 6400 miles?

    Just got back from the dealership to have my oil changed and brakes serviced and I ended up needing new rear pads and rotors. It didn't occur to me at the time, but when I got home I dug up a receipt from november 2017 where I had my rear brakes and pads replaced (under warranty). This was 6400...
  2. Considering swapping for an Si but there's 1 problem

    So I'm looking into swapping my 2016 Civic Touring for a 2018 Si sedan soon but there's one snag. Ive never driven a car with a manual transmission in my life. I keep reading that they're super easy to learn, but are they easy enough to the point where I can have a salesman at the dealership...
  3. Red oil light coming on in extreme cold

    With the extreme cold we've been getting here in Ontario, my 2016 Touring has been acting weird and I'm kinda worried about it. Its - 27 Celsius tonight and when I started my car the red oil can light came on in the instrument cluster with the message "Check oil level". I immediately turned off...
  4. Confused about washing car with foam gun

    So recently I bought a foam cannon for my pressure washer and a foam blaster for my regular garden hose. I've always used the traditional 2 bucket method so I'm a bit confused about what steps to take when washing using a foam gun. After I cover the car in suds, am I supposed to rinse them off...
  5. Any other sedan owners getting water inside their trunk lid?

    Just encountered a new problem after the last couple rainfalls this week. I'm getting water inside my trunk lid. Not inside the trunk but inside the actual door. This is the 2nd time this week that it's rained and when I open my trunk, I can hear water swishing around inside the lid. I have to...
  6. Having people think my highbeams are on is really getting old

    So I made a thread like this about a year ago when I got my Touring and I started noticing people flashing their brights at me. Didn't think much at the time, but a year later it's gotten really frustrating how many people on the road have terrible eyes. I've driven by dozens of other Tourings...
  7. Am I the only one having problems with the quality of the wipers on this car?

    The wipers on this car (or at least my car anyways) are garbage. When I first bought the car I swapped the wipers for some rain-x ones because the stock ones were streaking right off the lot. It seemed to help for a very short time before they too started streaking. I tried clay-barring and...
  8. 2018 Acura TLX undisguised

    The refreshed TLX was spotted filming TV commercials. Personally, I'm a huge fan of it. Definitely like the direction Acura is going with their styling. Could that white one with the black lip spoiler and 19" wheels be the Type-S...
  9. Ceramic paint coatings and road salt

    Is there anyone with a ceramic coating on their Civic that can comment on how well it repels the sticky salt water that comes off the road and plasters itself all over your paint in the winter? I'm considering having one put on my car, but if it's still going to be covered in salt stains, I'll...
  10. Sirius XM stopped working. All channels saying "No Info"

    So my free SiriusXM trial expired a little over a month ago, and just last week I decided I wanted to renew it. I renewed it without issues and everything was working fine until the other day where it suddenly just stopped working. I can see all the channels but there's no audio on any of them...
  11. Civic RS spoiler now available on eBay!

    The RS spoiler from the Thai Civics is now for sale on eBay from riennakane (same guy selling the side markers and other accessories). Kinda pricey at $650.00 but it's there for those that have been waiting...
  12. Is it just me or is this car very leaky?

    Has anyone noticed how much this car leaks after a wash? LOL I'll have my black Civic looking spotless then I'll come back outside and have water spots or "leak marks" on various spots all over the car. Underneath the side mirrors, the fake vent things at the back, underneath the foglight...
  13. Has anyone seen these ......interesting aftermarket accessories?

    I was just browsing eBay and noticed a pretty large selection of aftermarket cosmetic accessories. They look horrendous IMO, but to each their own. Some of the interior chrome trims available look okay but most of these make me cringe.
  14. 2016 Accord Coupe 18" rims

    How do you guys think these 18" rims found on the Accord Coupe would look on the Civic? My brother thinks they're hideous but I dunno, I'm strongly considering these over the 9th gen Si wheels.
  15. Gtechniq paint protection

    Theres a car detailing place a few minutes from my house that offers gtechniq coating application that (depending on what option you go with) can last up to 7 years. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff? Ive been reading up a bit on it and im tempted to go for it, especially having a...
  16. Is there any way to turn off rain sensing wipers?

    I have to admit I'm not liking the wiper settings on my Touring compared to how they are on my 2013 EX. My only options seem to be Low (which is still too fast for my liking), High, and Auto. I use Rain-X on my windshield so I don't really need the wipers most of the time, especially when...
  17. Steering wheel covers

    Does anyone know where I can find decent quality steering wheel covers that fit the smaller steering wheel of the civic? I stopped by Walmart and Canadian Tire earlier but most of the covers they had were for larger steering wheels found on trucks and SUVs. I know theres eBay and such but im...
  18. 2017 Acura MDX

    What do you guys think? I love that new honeycomb grille with the "bling bling" Acura logo. I'd love to see a TLX with a similar front end
  19. Any other Touring owners getting flashed by other drivers?

    I got my Touring a week ago today, and I've already had drivers flash their highbeams at me 4 times. The LEDs are bright but I didnt think they were that bright. Im getting worried that eventually a cop is going to pull me over and try give me a ticket.
  20. Winter protection

    Just have some inquiries for those that have to deal with lots of snow and salt covered roads like i do in the winter. I just picked up my Touring earlier this week and while we're pretty much out of the winter here in Ontario, i wanted to make a shopping list for next year to be ready. I have...
