  1. Acura Type S Compact coming 2022...

    It's interesting how they refer to the next-gen MDX as an "MDX" but they transitioned from "ILX" to "new Compact Sedan". I wonder if it's because the ILX has been so disappointing (at least to me). Maybe they'll bring back the Integra. It might not fit with what Acura will end up putting on...
  2. Michelin pilot sport A/S 3+ is Harsher than stock?

    One time a Costco tire shop put clip-on weights on my Prius' wheels instead of the stick-ons. I immediately noticed and had to get them to rebalance the wheels again. The thing is, you're always going to have to be on the lookout for less-than-stellar work. For example, last year, a different...
  3. Are the rear brake rotors on the Si (and other models) defective?

    Less than 11 months after getting the rear rotors replaced for free for this issue, the replacements started exhibiting the same scraping sound. It wasn't quite bad as with the previous ones. I took the car back to the dealership, but this time Honda declared it normal wear and tear the tech...
  4. Are the rear brake rotors on the Si (and other models) defective?

    With about 16,500 miles, I had my '17 Si's rear rotors replaces for free at the dealership today due to this issue. I had noticed the grooves in the rotor before, but I only decided to have it checked out because they were starting to make a scraping sound even when the brakes weren't engaged.
  5. My Dilemma!!!!!

    I test-drove the hatch a couple of times last year, and the rear visibility was one of the reasons why I ultimately didn't get one. I was coming off an unusual highway offramp where cars were merging in from another highway offramp / rotary to the right of me. It was almost impossible to see...
  6. HILL START?

    My Si is my first manual as well, and if it weren't for hill assistant, I wouldn't have even bought it. There are a few steep hills that I have to commute through heavy traffic on a daily basis. I'm at a point where I probably don't need it anymore, but it's a reassuring feature.
  7. 10th gen CIVIC SI - What did you pay?

    Uh, well, that's because it's Boch. I can't speak for everybody else in MA, but I bet a lot of us would rather buy a 90s Kia than set foot in any of Ernie Boch Jr.'s dealerships.
  8. Rear Suspension Clunking

    I started experiencing this clunking sound when we had a temperatures around single digits F in MA earlier this month. I've heard it this week at 18F as well, but it's not as apparent at that point. My second gen Prius would make horrible clunking sounds in the front once the temperature...
  9. What did you pay?

    I'm not sure, but it was sufficiently below MSRP for me to bite. A couple of more details: I got this offer through the Herb Chambers Honda in Burlington, MA via email. I emailed a couple of other places close to me and they wouldn't budge from MSRP. Side Note: This dealership sold the Type...
