Hi, I think I saw a similar thread a while back but after searching the forums I could not find it.

Do you know of any neat tricks with the 2017 Civic that the rest of us might not be aware of?

I'll go first

Tap the unlock button twice, then hold it in, unlocks all the doors, rolls down the windows and opens up the sunroof.

Is there anything that won't fit into this car?

underneath the front passenger floormat, there's a little 3"x7" cover that says "Frame Number". When you open that panel, it's a direct hole to the Body Frame, with the VIN stamped on it.

It's also a neat place to store stuff. Nothing illicit of course :D

It's a tailgate magnet for jackoffs in lifted pickups with shitty retrofitted HIDs!
This! Yes indeed, since Ive bought mine Ive had soooo many rednecks in their big dumb coal rollers riding my arse everywhere I go, not to mention the dirty looks. Bro-Truck drivers (as their called here) are seriously the worst. Go get a life! Of course Id be mad too if I was paying 700+ a mnth for a big heavy pos that eats gas like its going extinct and have to make a 10pt turn to park in a space that once Im straight enough to pull into the realization I dont fit kicks in. Yep , no thanks!

Seen this on a youtube video.... Use the physical key in the lock on drivers door, turn to the lock position and hold to close all the windows. I haven't tried this yet but I will in a moment when I leave work....

Mine doesn't need the physical key. It works with the remote the same way as opening the windows.

lol we have the same here. Some new guy at work has a lifted truck with purple (really) suspension bits, wide-ass tires, and a giant hashtag on the windshield (#WEDEMBOYZ). Some of these guys are trying too hard...

Must be another feature North America doesn't get. We can open with the key, can't close. Safety regulations or something.

For me it's always when I come to a stop with brake hold engaged and I remove my seat belt.
