  1. I think I’ve found a way to disable rain sensing wipers

    I think I'm going to give this a try. Any negative side effects to report since making the mod?
  2. Having people think my highbeams are on is really getting old

    I may be oblivious but I've only gotten flashed once or twice since I've owned the car (~18 months of ownership).
  3. No Oil in Brand New 2017 EX-T

    Hopefully their engine diagnostics will prove the lack of oil and the issue the car experienced before you added the oil. I would definitely ask to have the engine thoroughly inspected for serious damage.
  4. Yearly 2016 Consumer Reports- Yup, the Infotainment kills it.

    The auto wipers on the touring trim just don't work like they're supposed to. Lots of owners have reported issues with the sensor on the wipers. My dealer inspected the sensor and "tested" the wipers and said they're functioning normally. My problem is they're just erratic. Sometimes it's barely...
  5. Yearly 2016 Consumer Reports- Yup, the Infotainment kills it.

    Since the updates earlier in the year to fix the "no sound" issue on the Touring trim and the bluetooth stuttering, I haven't had any serious issues with the head unit. I re-boot the unit every couple months or so if things are bogging down. Android Auto is slow but I think that's more a...
  6. Starting to have my doubts

    If I could do it over again, I'd probably wait for 2017. Honda is fixing the issues but some their dealerships have trouble replicating (like my issue with the wipers) and so we're stuck waiting for a TSB that may never come. I'm sure Honda will learn from the issues of the 2016 model and tweak...
  7. Hood Deflectors are finally available!

    I get what you're saying, but I would rather touch up spots periodically than have that hideous thing on my car. It just doesn't look good on this model at all with the way the hood is kind of split in two.
  8. Hood Deflectors are finally available!

    I thought it looked good on my 2006 Civic....but definitely not the 2016.
  9. If your trunk is misaligned, they may take apart the whole rear

    My trunk is aligned like this as well. It's about the same on both sides (a smidge too low). I think I'm just going to roll with it. It doesn't bother me much although it would be nice if it were perfect. Lots of small issues like this on this vehicle which I imagine will be ironed out for the...
  10. What little tips and tricks do you know?

    This is actually pretty tough to master. I have to swipe a couple times almost every time to get it to work. At that point, it would have been easier to hit the mute button on the touchscreen.
  11. Multiple issues with 2016 Honda Civic EX-L

    I believe there is a TSB for the first one. Regarding #2 - not sure. There is a TSB for the radio but it's mostly for no sound issues - not freezing. Hopefully they can resolve it. This is a turbo engine correct? I believe the turbo idles pretty rough until it warms up. My does the same (plus...
  12. Wiper operation, 'Automatic' intermittent

    I'm in the same boat. Very frustrating...
  13. Just turned on Econ button...

    I haven't noticed this at all when using ECON.
  14. Wiper operation, 'Automatic' intermittent

    Glad they're aware of the issue and working on it at least. There's no way they the wipers are working as intended for the majority of us. If that were the case, they would have never gone to this technology from just the variable intermittent option.
  15. Wiper operation, 'Automatic' intermittent

    I brought my vehicle into the dealer. I was equipped with a video on my phone of the erratic wiper behavior. I also printed out the Acura TSB so that they could reference it. They inspected the sensor per the TSB and said they didn't see any issues. Despite the video, they said that because they...
  16. ACC sensing issue with large vehicles in the right lane

    I've been having an issue with my ACC. Sometimes when there's no vehicle in my lane in front of me, but there is a large truck (typically a semi) in the near right lane - the car will perceive there to be a vehicle directly in front of me and apply the brakes so as not to pass it. Then after a...
  17. to: 2016 civics owner - is the cabin loud?

    Coming from a 2006 Honda Civic, this car (touring trim) is much quieter. I don't know how it compares to other cars. I would say it is quieter than our 2012 Honda Odyssey.
  18. Just turned on Econ button...

    I find that the ECON helps me quite a bit with mileage when using ACC on the freeway. The car tends to drink gas when using ACC on the freeway, especially when I go to pass another vehicle and the car is getting back up to cruising speed. ECON seems to even that out so that acceleration is more...
  19. Slow touchscreen

    It's a little slow to start up, but otherwise it works fine. I don't think the display is "confusing" at all (contrary to Consumer Reports gripes). Consumer Reports HATES infotainment in general and they don't appreciate the fact that once you're driving the same car for several months, what was...
  20. LKAS and ACC Question

    Yes - they are always on so long as the features are activated (i.e. ACC or LKAS will function if cruise is engaged). It is kind of strange that the display remains on even when cruise is not turned on - however, that's seems to be how it is.
