  1. Wind noise from driver's window?

    My EX-T made the same noise at highway speeds (around 65-70mph).
  2. 2016 Honda Civic back and hip pain cloth seats

    I found the EX-Ts cloth seats caused me discomfort after about 60-90 minutes behind the wheel. It wasn't my back but my rear end that was hurting. I tried three different seat cushions and none worked so I finally traded the car in. I upgraded to a midsize V6 sedan that I like better in many...
  3. Car would not unlock this morning (after the trunk opened)! Locked out!

    This happened to me once in the six months that I owned the car. Similar scenario: I came out of a big box hardware store, put something in the trunk and then the doors wouldn't open after that. I actually laughed when it happened to me since I had been reading about it happening to others on...
  4. Why did you purchase Civic EX trim over Corolla?

    So would I. I recently traded in my new Civic EX-T for a Camry XSE V6 because the Civic’s seats were killing me on long trips. When I read about a new Accord buyer that had the same problem and switched to the Camry I felt that I wasn’t the only one having a problem with Honda seats. What I...
  5. Weak Battery on Touring

    I found the thread that I mentioned earlier. The link below is to the post that shows the loose wire. Scroll back for information leading up to the discovery. Faulty Wipers/Car Will Not Start
  6. Is the EX-T fun to drive?

    Judging by the posts I've seen on this forum I'm in the minority when it comes to experiencing seat discomfort with the cloth seats. I have to bend my long legs quite a bit in order to comfortably grip the steering wheel even when it's extended to the max. I think that may be part of the reason...
  7. Is the EX-T fun to drive?

    The primary reason was that I found the EX-T seats to be very uncomfortable for me on the first long trip I took. The discomfort kicked in between the 60-90 minute mark. I didn't sit in it long enough on the test drive to discover this. I think the adjustable seat bottom on the EX-L and Touring...
  8. Skittles Part 2

    What I'd like to do is choose a stock factory color from a different car manufacturer that wasn't offered on the make and model that I want to re-color. When the time comes I'll ask the closest authorized Autoflex installer if they can color match a factory paint code.
  9. Weak Battery on Touring

    I recall seeing a similar thread many months ago and the problem was a loose connection from what I remember. The poster with the problem inserted a photo of the problematic connection that his dealer found. Try searching for it if no one else responds.
  10. Skittles Part 2

    I continue to be intrigued by what can be done with these new coatings. That price you mentioned is way below what a high quality repaint would cost. I’m strongly considering it but will probably wait a few more years to see how Autoflex holds up and what new colors they may offer. The color you...
  11. Cracked Windshield

    I’ve been on many car forums over the years and I don’t recall seeing as many windshield damage reports as I’ve seen here. At least no one has yet reported a crack due to a bug impact.
  12. Is the EX-T fun to drive?

    My two cents based on having owned an EX-T for about six months. I thought it felt sporty for a front wheel drive car. It felt light and agile when turning and some of this is due to Honda's electric assists applying the brake to the inside wheels on turn in. The turbo engine pulls well but some...
  13. 2016 Civic EXT Liquid Wrapped

    This is a dangerous thread. Now I'm thinking about doing it. Almost every time I find what I think is the best car for my needs it's never offered in a color that really appeals to me. The Autoflex product looks more practical than repainting a new car. I need to get more information about how...
  14. Why I'm hesitating to buy a Civic

    Of the items on your list #1 and #4 bothered me the most about my former EX-T. Regarding the rear cross traffic alert, the absence of that feature didn't bother me that much considering the Civic's rear view camera has a wide angle mode that gives pretty good coverage of what is on your rear...
  15. Top Tier Gasoline, New Study

    Adding port injection may help them with the valve deposit issues on their current ecoboost engines. The video below talks about the deposit problem and that Ford engineers found induction cleaning services performed to remove the deposits are destroying the turbos (starts at around 3:45 into...
  16. ...

    I don’t buy the argument that you have to drive manual to be auto enthusiast, especially nowadays when automatic transmissions work much better than they did in the past. Being an auto enthusiast can involve following auto racing, automotive trends, automotive engineering, and enjoying the...
  17. ...

    I’ve owned dozens of cars since the early 70s and as far as quality or design complaints the only three I had with the new Civic were the excessive panel gaps (worse than most other cars I've owned), Honda’s decision to use cloth instead of vinyl or another more suitable material on the...
  18. Would you buy your car again?

    The answer is no for me but largely because I missed the qualities of the V6 engines that I’ve been driving since the 1980s and because the 6-way driver’s seat of the EX-T became uncomfortable for me after about 60 to 90 minutes of driving. What drew me to the Civic was how much I enjoyed its...
  19. The car locked me out twice now...

    This happened to me once in my six months of ownership and it hasn't happened since then. That was about a month or two ago. At that time I planned to ask the dealer to address it when I brought it in for my first oil change.
  20. Civic Si engine is hiding under the hood of the "Avancier"

    That was I was thinking. Maybe someone will get a spy photo of the SI's interior during testing and we'll know before the official debut.
