Honda Civic LX 2017 6-speed manual
Country flag
I had a 2014 Hyundai Elantra Sport 6-speed manual. Still not sure that I should have sold it... I miss the heated front seats and the sunroof. The Bluetooth connectivity worked a lot better - for me, anyway. It went around corners like it was on rails. The road feel was better.

My Civic LX 6-speed manual gets better gas mileage, (averaging around 37 mpg instead of the 34.8 I averaged in the Elantra Sport) and the ride is a little smoother. But I miss the road feel and the very confident cornering. Maybe I need to get an anti-sway bar when they become available for the LX.

If you have the shitty Firestone's, that could be your problem.

My Cosmic Blue 16' Civic Ex is my 1st car. Before this, I would borrow my Fathers Lexus, or be on the Bus.

You look to be as old as me...
Looks like you were a Toyota person. What made you switch to Honda?
(We had a 91 Camry. You know, the one where the seat belts came around and choked you?)

Birthdate 10/1/46. I sit very tall and only the Civic has enough head room.

How much was the upside down when you traded for the hatchback if you don't mind my asking. Thanks.

Sold the 350z cause I was spending 500-1000 dollars just in gas money every month, depending on if I took it to work or not.

I'm the same way with my WRX vs Civic X. WRX costs me over twice as much in gas to drive. 26mpg and 93 octane vs 40mpg and 87 octane.
