  1. Gas tank range

    I'm always hitting about 500 miles on a tank before the miles remaining hit zero... I've driven the vehicle for almost 5000 miles and am averaging about 44 mpg.
  2. Hatchback rear visibility

    I first thought it lacked visibility, but I now believe it was because I was so used to the wide open space of the Golf. Now it feels quite normal. If anything I'm simply more cognizant of where cars are in proximity to me...
  3. What did you almost buy? And why you chose the Civic

    This may be the case, however I love my hatchback. I live in So Cal and see a LOT of civic sedans but relatively few hatches in comparison. And for me, the hatch looks much nicer in person than in pics. And that turbo is really lively and actually gets the same or better mpg than the sedan...
  4. Hatchback - What did you pay?

    I'm certain you are doing better than me. :)
  5. Hatchback - What did you pay?

    Eh, well.. it's still only money, which really doesn't concern me.
  6. Hatchback - What did you pay?

    Being from Indiana probably helps. But I probably should have also done some more homework. Kinda shameful for a guy in my line of work. :) Oh well. "it's only money." This is still a huge savings from the Stingray I almost bought, so I'm feeling very good right now.
  7. Hatchback - What did you pay?

    State: CA Trim: LX Tranny: CVT Color: Pearl White Options: Price: Price after trade: Destination Charge: Tax: 8.5% Title/Tags: Dealer (processing) Fee: TOTAL OTD: $23,000 The dealer took my first offer. I'm sure I overpaid. :rolleyes1:
  8. Real Life Mileage Vs. Dash Mileage

    I don't know about exacts. What I do know is every time I fill up I'm over 400 miles into my current "trip." I've never put in any more than 10 or 10.5 gallons of gas. I'm getting over 40 mpg on every tank... Lifetime MPG is right around 43, which is very close to my mental calculations at...
  9. Damn you MPG ..

    This reminds me how thankful I am for my highway driving, which I'm doing about 90 pct of the time. My car spends probably the same percentage of its 'life' in cruise control. When I fill my '17 Civic Hatch it's taking about 10 gallons of gas, and that after 400+ miles of driving. Yes, I'm...
  10. New Here? Introduce Yourself!

    I'm Charles.. 41 yr old single father, AF vet and current DoD career employee, avid fitness freak, etc. Bought a '17 Civic Hatch a couple weeks ago and enjoying everything about it. Glad to be here.
  11. What did you almost buy? And why you chose the Civic

    The 2017 VW Golf.. I had a 2012 TDI Golf, which was the best car I've ever owned, but it was taken in the buy-back (Thank you VW for paying me THREE times it's market value). I went round and round with the VW dealer about me being a "good customer." They wouldn't give me the 1000 rebate...
