Guys, I need some advice. I am LEASING a 2016 EX-T (Cosmic Blue) and when doing a low speed turn, I was lazy and thought I could make it all the way but failed and put a hole in my current bumper (about a size of a quarter) with scrapes. Assuming (which I still believe is correct) that the...

I've seen so much Lease bashing and figured I'd put down my thoughts for those debating. To state that Leasing is "stupid" is 100% incorrect. The real problem with Leasing is that it's more complicated to ensure that you get a "good deal" and is more price sensitive. People treat it like...

I'm about 10 months away from turning in/selling my Civic lease (and likely going to an Accord) and I was stupid and damaged my front bumper. https://photos.app.goo.gl/RGNtyKFHCYTDijzW6 What is the best approach here? How much would a body shop charge? Is it fixable or does it need to be...

I broke my Key Fob while trying to replace the battery (believe I used a screwdriver to remove the battery.. DOH!). Anyway, I've ordered a new OEM one on eBay and will now need to have it programmed. I don't need a new key nor have it cut since that still works, only need to have it programmed...

Guys, My 2016 EX-T displayed the low battery warning for the Key Fob (which is kinda surprising after 2 years, but okay) and so I opened it up, replaced the battery and now... well, nothing happens when I press any of the buttons (no red light) :(. Help! I have to admit that removing the...

I realize that this is probably 6-9 months early, but I'll go ahead and get the ball rolling in case anyone has closed a lease early. I started a lease of my 2016 right about 2 years ago (Memorial Day sale) which means that I'll be giving more and more thought to my end of lease over the next...

Luckily, mine was covered under warranty but if you have a moonroof that hasn't been replaced yet (or if you are looking to buy one), it may be worth looking at an extended warranty for $1,000 or so. My car is a 2016 EX-T with 21,689 miles. I had used the moonroof heavily early on as the...

2016 EX-T with 17,000 miles. I pulled into work this morning, put it into Park, put the parking brake on and press the Start/Stop button to turn the car off. No different than any other morning. The car does 4 rapid beeps and the Start/Stop button blinks Red. Turned off/on and did it again. I...

Well, it looks like Consumer Reports has released their Reliability Rating for the 2016 Civic (they had previously established an early rating of "good") which is still one of the best sources to get balanced Reliability since they use massive surveys: Rating: Poor Blah. The Scoring goes from...

I realize that this is likely an unanswerable question, but I'll ask just in case. Any tips for using the remote start? Here's the thing. First off, I use the Walk-away-lock feature and so my car is always locked. Its annoying to have to lock it again beforehand. But the thing that bothers me...

I love Brake Hold and it works great for me. I've never had any sort or lurching or had it engage at any times other than when I'd expect and it's always engaged exactly when I'd expect it to. There was only one time where I was going less than 1 MPH where it did an ever-so-slightly stop, but...

Here is something we all want to know. How common are the problems encountered in this Forum? Are the issues Rampant or Rare? Are most Reliable or Unreliable? If you own a Civix X, please fill out this Survey whether you are extremely happy with your vehicle or unhappy. Also, feel free to post...

Just got my new EX-T Cosmic Blue over the weekend after lurking (and posting many, many times) for quite some time. Yea. Android Auto is a big deal for me, so I obviously have my phone connected at all times. The question I have is this... Where do you keep your smartphone? I have a HUGE Nexus...

I can guess that for most people this would be a no-brainer choice, but I'll ask anyway: EX with Sensing or an EX-T My problem is this. I OBSESS about self driving cars. I read just about every relevant news story on them. I realize that the Honda Sensing isn't anywhere close to that or even...

I think that the Accord is likely too big for my needs, but I'll put it out there anyway. If you could LEASE either a 2016 Civic LX or an Accord LX for the SAME PRICE, which would you choose? I believe they actually are about the same price at our local dealer despite the Accord being $2k more...

I'm still weighing options ranging from Leasing a Civic to keeping it for 8 years. I've worked on my cars and like doing the routine stuff, but will NEVER AGAIN deal with repairs and stuck/stripped bolts and failures and check engine lights and all that. So, what do you guys expect over the...

I've been looking at the Civic for a number of months now and I've come to realize that the traditional philosophy of "buy used with low miles and keep forever" is not as good of a strategy as people make it out to be and that Leasing isn't nearly the worst-financial-thing-you-could-ever-do...

If you listen to others and read articles on the Internet, you know that Leasing is the worst thing you can't do in your life. Yep, they talk about how you can find "gently used cars" for a fraction of the cost and how stupid you have to be to lease. I USED to believe that... until I started...

I'm sure that many have wondered this too, but how much better are the LED lights in the Touring vs the Halogen? Is there any numbers of total light produced or any example pictures of them side by side? I'm just trying to get a grasp on how much value to place on that when determining what...

I started a Google Docs spreadsheet initially for my own purposes based on this thread: http://www.civicx.com/threads/what-did-you-pay.617 Basically, starting from the back and working forward. It's far from complete, but is a good start. I've made the spreadsheet available to all for Reading...
