Thanks for the information, that's good to know and look out for. What's your car's mileage?

Yep, same comments as above. Although I drive a 1.0, the car is reliable and comfortable, even after 6 years and 60k kms. The only thing I'd check is if it has had the A/C condenser replaced, as these can fail.

2017 1.0 Elegance 59 000 km Took it in for regular maintenance and they say they'd replace the condenser in a few weeks (part delivery time) as a warranty case, because the old one has spots on it. No leakage, no decreace in efficiency.

What were the symptoms?

Bienvenue! C'est un beau Civic, je pense que c'est le meme spec que le mien- c'est a dire un 1.0 Comfort. Welcome! That's a good-looking Civic- I think it's the same spec as mine- a 1.0 Comfort.

Greetings from Estonia, where I just filled up on 98 RON (that's 93 in USA) and paid EUR 2.199 per litre, which works out to USD 10.43 per gallon.

Switched the 17" OEM winter wheels for summer wheels, which got a refurb over the winter.

Check the slot where the dash meets the A-pillar- have a passenger hold it and see if it affects anything. I've noticed that (especially in winter) my dash develops a rattle where the dash meets the A-pillar, mostly on the driver's side. Probably something to do with the plastics being brittle...

I still go to the dealership for maintenance and they use Valvoline SynPower MST C3 5W30

All of the above applies, there really are no shortcuts. I'd add Snapseed to the list of apps to try out. It offers pretty basic and raw tools to get you started and understand how images can be manipualted, but which are still advanced enough to keep using once you've got the hang of things.

Here in Estonia petrol broke the magical 2€/litre barrier for the first time ever today. Current prices are 2.049 (regular), 2.099 (super) and 2.059 (diesel). So that's 2€ or 2.20$ per litre or 8.32$/gallon. Check this link for wages and such in this tiny and faraway country of ours.

MAK Wolf with black mirror finish, 19x8" ET40 235/35/19 tires Eibach Pro-Kit (25/20mm)

Nope.

No camber kit- just had a regular alignment after installation and no issues so far. Can't comment on that code you posted- possibly they're meant for the US market? I chose mine from Eibach website and after choosing my car I was left with the choice to go with the Pro-Kit or Sportline.

"Scheisse! This is way better than the GTI- Volkswagen cannot compete with this practicality nor the excellent engine! I just hope nothing happens to the Type-R so we can finish this test..."

Having tried the GR Yaris in our slushy-snowy conditions, can confirm it's a proper rocket. Never mind the fact it's based on a Yaris- the engine-drivetrain-gearbox combo is unbeatable. And I do love the unbalanced sound of a 3-cylinder unit. Go for it!

Two things to note: you can turn the sensitivity all the way down on the rotating thingie on the stalk, so it won't be aggressive, hopefully alleviating the crazy wiping action a bit. The second (and more important) bit is: keep the wiper blades clean at all times. As dust and sand build up on...

Before I saw the pictures I though you'd got the new 4WD GRMN... The previous one is a hoot as well.

You won't be missing any essentials in the Elegance, plus it's got that new car smell :) However, if you must have keyless entry/start, adaptive dampers, premium audio or the sunroof, then spring for the Executive. If it were my choice, I'd get the new car, since the price difference is not...
