You'll have to change some of the values in this video to compare to your situation, but this will show the difference. Clearly a Civic will come much closer in operating costs than the Alfa Romeo that he compares it to.

I bought mine on my phone with no test drive. They do have a 7 day 1000 mile return policy. Which I think is better than a quick test drive. I understand your point about paperwork, don’t know how much hassle it would be.

It’s clear some people won’t want electric cars. That’s fine. The electrical grid is getting cleaner every year, so EVs will as well. In other news, Tesla finally announced the $35k version and after tax rebate its $31250. And gas savings takes another few thousand off over the life. It’s...

You can keep driving cars with personality... I'll enjoy the performance :drive:(There isn't an EV driving icon...)

Extreme temps can reduce the range of your EV because you need to power the heater or AC. However the actual life of the battery won’t be impacted because Tesla manages the temperature of the battery pack at all times with a liquid cooling/heating system. Nissan Leafs, on the other hand, are...

This is programmed into the car. It’s called high idle and is used to heat up the catalytic converters faster. All cars have it to some degree.

I have lots of data if you want it, but long story short, the electric grid is continually getting cleaner and that will directly relate to how many emissions an EV creates per mile. An ICE has a fixed emissions profile over its life. If you want to poke at electric cars, it should be how...

Magic! Actually, you push on the back part and the handle pops out. There are a few cars like this, Nissan GTR and some others I can’t recall. Not ideal ergonomics but not very annoying.

That’s a joke my crazy uncle would make. I guess that means I can roll coal better than anyone...:D:doh:

They accept trade ins, but you won’t like their offer.

30-35k miles per year

Sounds like we have the same version. Yeah, you need to have a charger at home to make them worthwhile, relying on fast chargers wouldn't be easy. They should only be for road trips anyhow. the 30% range hit in the winter is annoying, but starting with a full charge every day makes it a...

The funny thing is, the Tesla is almost exactly the same size as the civic based on external dimensions, so for some of my neighbors, they may not even notice. I have been stuck in a rut with white cars, I just like how they look!. Its also a regular sedan with a trunk, the model S has the...

The time has come to move on from my Civic. It has served me well for over 90k miles and has been the most fuel efficient vehicle I have ever owned (35.7 mpg lifetime avg). It rode smooth and really had no complaints. Except that pesky dash rattle that the dealer or I could never solve. The...

It won't, as long as you also wear the tinfoil on your head.

I have no explanation, but directly on Honda's press release it states "VTEC". Highly unlikely that the engine has changed. My guess is marketing. http://hondanews.com/releases/best-selling-and-award-winning-honda-civic-sedan-coupe-and-si-return-for-2018-to-continue-compact-leadership "The...

I did 35% and I wouldn't go darker. It gives the tinted look without crossing the line into looking tacky (my opinion) Plenty of info in the other sections

Only major issue has been the rattle under the dash, after 10+ visits to the dealer they gave up and now I'm well past warranty and the rattle remains.

I'm just about to hit 60k as well
