I have had my CTR since 2018 and have serviced it exclusively at Honda of Escondido. They treat me well and also honor competitor coupons for lower prices on brakes, lube-oil filter, and related jobs. Overall, I trust their service department.

I have had Continental Extreme DWS All seasons on my CTR for almost a year, and they are great. They have the 35 mm sidewall and the ride is a little cushier and potholes and road deviations are less of a nuisance. I drive about 95% highway so they suit my driving style perfectly, and they are...

It's a good car and there have been many comparisons in various car magazines lauding this car. However, it is possible that its lack of personality (No VTEC and 8000 rpm redline, like its predecessors), is why it is sometimes hated. I owned an RSX Type S that screamed to redline, and it was...

This is amazing and I envy you. I have never had to change pads-rotors on any car prior to my CTR, and these were cars I daily drove and had between 48 - 58k miles. I now drive mostly highway and hope these pads wear a little better. If anyone has any feedback to prolong the life of the pads...

Hey Gavin; what are the drivers like in BC? Here in San Diego, they are mostly incompetent, rude, and aggressive, and I seem like I avoid multiple accidents daily by driving the speed limit and being a little cautious. I only drive aggressively when there is little traffic for this reason. Last...

When you say filter above, you are referring to the oil filter, correct? I just had this service done so if this is it, then this is likely not the issue. Yes, boost is nice, but in our car, cruising at 65-70 mph and putting your foot down means that you are now doing 90mph, and our car is not...

I appreciate these responses yet none is really relevant to my situation...I have a 20 mile freeway trip to work most days and in comfort mode, I get b/w 33 - 36 mpg on the way to work and 37 - 39 mpg going back home in the afternoon. The last week it has been < 30 mpg on the way to work and no...

For the last week, my typical MPG in my car has been 10-20 % lower than normal. It has been cold and rainy in Southern California, which I know can reduce mileage a little. However, I took my car in for an oil and filter last weekend and the dealer diagnosed that my car battery was down to 290...

Honda of Escondido--I have had my car serviced there since I bought it--ask for Jose who is one of the Service Advisors. Good luck with this and be persistent...

About 1 month ago, the AC in my 2018 CTR with about 43000 miles on it began to blow less cold air, and then eventually it stopped blowing cold air and would "hiss' anytime I turned on the AC. Long story short, as most of you know, Honda has a service bulletin for our model year Civics for this...

So about 5 weeks ago I moved into a new home that is about 20 miles 1-way from my work in San Diego, CA. I find the CTR to be a great commuter (all freeway) as it can achieve 36-38 mpg cruising at 65-70 mph on the SoCal freeways. I never expected this when I bought it in 2018... what other car...

We are all feeling it but thankfully my CTR gets 35-38 mpg during my 15 mile highway commute, in comfort mode with traction control off and trying to maintain 65-70 mph. You can save money driving conservatively and still buy the higher octane fuel which I expect allows the engine to run better...

No, never in R mode--95 % of my driving is in Comfort mode and I turn the traction control off for highway drives when I typically cruise at 70mph and get 34-37 mpg. Does turning this off put more or less stress on the rear pads?

Thanks for this response; so the dealer will install these, correct? And I assume that the dealer would not be willing to install non OEM pads? I have never went through pads in my last 4 vehicles, all manual transmission cars which I sold with between 48-60k miles, and unfortunately I had to...

This price and recommendation do seem inappropriate; I had never had to replace any part of my brakes on my 3 previous vehicles all with manual transmissions prior to owning the CTR, which had to have its rear pads replaced at about 25k mi. Someone on this forum mentioned previously that the...

I easily get 30 - 32 mpg cruising at 70-75 mph in comfort mode, and when I keep the speed closer to 70 mph with only an occasional gradual acceleration, I can average close to 35 mpg. Last year I drove out to Palm Desert from San Diego, and averaged about 37 mpg for the 230 mi trip. And these...

May I ask, where in the hell do you live where gas prices start with a '1"? I do not even think that they were that low here in CA at the start of the pandemic? Out in CA where I reside, supposedly we are in the less expensive winter blend gasoline yet even at Costco, we pay > $4/gallon.

My mileage was a little lower when it was new. Now, I routinely get around 28-29 mpg with mostly in-town driving, yet this includes stretches where I can drive smoothly at 55-60 mph with occasional freeway driving too. I do shift at low rpm and rarely use the Turbo during this style of driving...

Can any of you advise me on how to clean the front seats, preferably a product that is cheap, easily accessible, and will not ruin the material? After three years of daily driving, they are showing a little dirt. Many years ago, I purchased a leather cleaner for my Acura's seats and it stained...

I drove a 2018 Si before I took home my CTR. I thought the car had great torque and was fun, but a little sterile. The CTR is totally different, it just has that 'something' ingrained in it whether you are going 30 mph in 5th gear around town, going through the gears in R mode, or taking a curve...
