  1. Cause of low MPG in my Type R?

    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...
  2. If your AC goes out, make sure to contact Honda!

    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...
  3. What a daily driver!

    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...
  4. How to clean the front seats?

    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...
  5. Cost to ship car from west coast to east coast?

    Hi everyone--does anyone have an idea as to the potential cost and time to ship my 2018 CTR from CA to Georgia sometime in July? And can you please give me recommendations for a good company to ship it? I would want one that has indoor storage of the car. Thanks--Todd
  6. CTR in cold temps

    I was hoping I could get some expertise here as what I read on the Web is mixed. I live in SoCal and am driving to Las Vegas tomorrow morning. The ambient temperature may be < 40 degrees for some of my trip there and when I return later in the week. Is this really detrimental for the summer...
  7. Rear brakes need to be replaced at 21000 miles.

    I have owned 3 cars prior to my 2018 CTR, all that were manual transmission and had between 45 - 58 k miles when I sold them, and none ever needed any brake work since I downshift rather than heavily use the brakes to slow the vehicle. I drive my CTR about 90-10 ratio of in town to highway...
  8. How to clean dog vomit off backseat?

    So I rescued a Golden Retriever last week from Irvine, and when arriving at my house in San Diego, the pup, who clearly was anxious at being in the car and a new home, vomited on my back seat. I cleaned it up as best I could, and then this weekend mixed vinegar and water to try and clean it...
  9. maximum volume on audio system is stuck?!

    Can anyone help me fix this before I go to my dealer tomorrow? I ran a few errands today, and before starting up and heading off on errand #2, the audio system display went into some weird screen and then instantaneously the volume increased up to max level = 34. The volume adjustment on the...
  10. what type of tire in UT or CO are you using?

    I may be taking a job in UT or CO in the near future..may I ask you all, what type of tire are you using for your type R? is an all season adequate or do you find that you need a true winter tire? I lived in Maryland and Albuquerque for 7 years total and drove fine in some snow with all season...
  11. TPMS light comes on when pressures are too high?

    Last week I was driving somewhat spiritedly in 70 degree temps here in SoCal, and my TPMS warning light came on and showed low pressures, which I thought was due to a nail. I immediately took the car to Discount Tire, whom I have huge faith in, and the employee looked at all 4 tires and the...
  12. new 2018 Civic type R owner

    I would appreciate everyone's input on a couple items regarding the type R, which include; 1. does the car require a break in period? if so, how many miles is it? 2. I have mostly used Comfort mode in my 1+ day of driving the car, and only briefly use the Sport(default) mode--is mileage...
