  1. So who’s actually confirmed having gas in their oil in their Civic?

    2016 1.5T Touring 36500 miles. Houston so no cold weather and a 40 mile commute. I change my own oil and always put in 3.7 qts. My last drain was 4.2 quarts so half a quart of gas..
  2. Electric parking brake problem

    I've had this same problem twice so far. Just adding this to my list of small problems.. popping panels/trunk deck when driving over bumps, wind noise from drivers side door, subwoofer rattle
  3. Windshield Wiper Size and Replacement

    I figured a years worth. Aging in a warehouse or in my garage, can't be much of a difference.
  4. Windshield Wiper Size and Replacement

    I checked a bunch of Honda OEM parts sites and bkhondaparts.com seemed like the cheapest for shipping. It was around $11 for shipping/handling for 4 sets of blades. Total price was $45.77 which ends up being $5.72/ea which is still cheaper than MSRP from dealer.
  5. Windshield Wiper Size and Replacement

    ^ not saving much when they charge $16 to ship 2 sets of blades
  6. Adaptive Cruise (ACC) - How well does it REALLY work?

    Yeah I guess I am not missing anything then. Using the right button to change the distance doesn't do anything for me. The distance bars never show up at all. Maybe I have some sort of software or hardware failure. I made sure that the radar was clean on the bumper and that didn't solve it either.
  7. Adaptive Cruise (ACC) - How well does it REALLY work?

    can't get my ACC to work. What am I missing? I played with it the first day I had my car but now it never works. The "ACC" green light shows as active when I hit the 'MAIN' button but the distance bars never show up when I enable cruise control.
  8. What is the best real world MPG average you are getting from 2.0l or 1.5l

    14 mile drive to my dealer (48.4) to pick up my plates and coming back to work (57.6). This was freeway driving in Houston around noon on a week day. 1.5L
  9. Road surface or tire noise.

    I have the touring and the Firestone's are very loud. They sound as loud as my bald Nitto's were on my Jeep Grand Cherokee before I replaced them with very quiet Yokohamas. The outside noise from passing cars/trucks is on the same level as my Jeep was but the tires are unbearable.
  10. What did you pay?

    NOTHING compares. My wife thought I was crazy when I said I wanted a Civic as we were coming from a Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 and I am 6'2". I told her I wanted to trade+pay cash for a car and nothing comes even close to the value and quality at under $27K. The only thing close in my mind was a VW...
  11. What did you pay?

    I didn't obviously pay any of these 'add-ons' but I feel bad that some people fall for those tricks. My total OTD price swung from $15200 when we started to $10800 after we were done. I think the average car buyer these days simply looks at the monthly finance payment and don't realize how much...
  12. The Oil Thread

    Thanks. I think I am going with Fram Ultra XG7317 and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum when the time comes.
  13. What did you pay?

    Houston,TX New 2016 Civic Touring - Modern Steel Metallic with Grey Leather I did trade+cash so it's hard to give an exact amount of trade in but I figure $26000 plus $16k trade in...about $1335 off MSRP. Actual paperwork shows $17500 trade in but we started at a $15K offer from them. Worst...
  14. Hey y'all

    I believe every single car on the lot had the nitrogen caps. I really wanted to walk out but I knew I wouldn't find another Touring model I wanted for some time. The dealership in Conroe told me they will get "1" in 90 days or so.
  15. Hey y'all

    First time Honda owner checking in. Proud owner of a 2016 Civic Touring in Modern Steel Metallic with grey leather. The Touring Models are hard to come by in the Houston area. The dealership I went to had 3 or 4 in stock and it was probably the worst experience ever buying a car. I have not...
  16. The Oil Thread

    First time Honda owner here. Does anyone make an oil filter for the 2016 Civic yet besides buying one from the dealer? I can't find the 2016 Civic listed on anyone's site... Advance Auto, O'Reilly, Mobil1, Wix, etc..
