  1. Hypermiling

    This is my normal everyday driving. When I make the effort to max out the MPG it goes up over 50.
  2. Replacing Carpeting

    Hi there, thanks for checking. I can't believe that everyone on here has put up with this junk Honda calls "carpeting". I requested from several auto carpet makers samples to see what I could get that is made from a pattern to fit our cars. All of the samples were also crap that I would not put...
  3. How many Miles on your CVT?

    I have 62,400 miles on my EX-T CVT and have changed the transmission fluid 3 times. It is my habit to renew that fluid more often than is required because of our severe desert temps. Sine 1985 I have never had a transmission problem here in the Sonoran Desert as a result. Several of my vehicles...
  4. Is It totaled?

    Why can't people just drive their cars? Y'all are making the case for self-driving cars every day.
  5. Most 2016 Civics have trunk rust!!!

    I live in Metro Phoenix, yes, in the middle of the Sonoran Desert, and while I do not have this specific rust spot I did have a rust spot directly above the windshield washer fill spout, under my hood. I had to wrestle with the dealer about it who involved the district Honda Rep, I had less than...
  6. Warm start grinding noise news!!!!!FIX

    Don't give up. Go to your local TV station that does "MUCKRAKING" stories about consumers being ripped off. Write to the consumer protection division of your state attorney general office. write to the NHTSA. The squeeky wheel gets the grease.
  7. Warm start grinding noise news!!!!!FIX

    My CVT throttle body rattle is back with a vengeance, I had this fixed July 6th of 2017, at 19,780 miles. Now I have 60,600 miles and fortunately I have the extended warranty, so it goes in on 11/4 for another repair. I called Honda Corp and asked if there was a permanent fix or were they just...
  8. Replacing Carpeting

    Hello All, have any of you replaced your carpeting? My 2016 has 60K miles and I am looking to dump the OEM carpet, can any of you share what you did? I am wondering if I should go to an auto upholstery shop or find a product and do it myself? Suggestions? Thx.
  9. Strange sound at startup

    There was a TSB on this, I have a '16 had some issue, I thought it was the starter, it turns out it is a vavle in the CVT that vibrates on startup, they can replace it, I did that but it can return. It's of no consequence to the car, just a little sound. No biggie. no worries.
  10. Intentionally Pig Parking Beside Me?

    That was actually very foolish of you to damage your own car. Why didn't you move your car, then take our your lug wrench and put a bigg-ass deep dent in every singe body panel? Hood, roof, trunk, fenders, doors, and then leave. lI guarantee that ass hole would never pull that shit again.
  11. Intentionally Pig Parking Beside Me?

    Yeah they are fucking with you. Trying to get your goat. Goo all the way to the outer edge of the lot and park parallel to the outside curb. Then if they park next to you it's harassment. Take video each time it happens and be sure to record the plate. You can go park there and just hang out...
  12. which engine oil do you guys using?

    Honda's oil is made by Mobil One.
  13. EXT electric seat vs manual

    I met with THE top guy for this at my dealer 3 years ago and we had an in depth conversation about this and he let me know that it just is not worth doing. Apparently the wiring harness is unique to each car and messing with it is problematic. Finding an electric seat for an EXT is doable, but...
  14. Car and Driver tests high octane on 1.5T

    Nicely said, I was about to write a similar theme. I have the Civic EXT and about 4th or 5th tankful I buy premium and add a container of Chevron Techron to keep the system, especially the injectors, clean. When i do I notice an increase in response and acceleration. You can tell me I'm full of...
  15. EXT electric seat vs manual

    Hi, I have 2016 EXT with cloth and non-electric seat and was told by service mechanic that it can't be done, wiring harness is not set up to make that change.
  16. College Hills Honda Horn Upgrade

    Can I ask, please what they charged you to do that? Thx in advance.
  17. Got the CVT rattle TSB fixed...it's still here.

    Please let us know the outcome of that, I am in the same situation with my 2016, however I read that the noise is just that and it has no detrimental on the car or its performance. Back in the '90's I had one of those Chevy's with the defective ignitions that would just shut down for no reason...
  18. Got the CVT rattle TSB fixed...it's still here.

    I have a '16 EX-T and had the TSB done in July of '17. The noise has returned but not consistent, in fact so unpredictable that I am not sure they will be able to duplicate it but I do hear it occasionally. I am taking it in on Thursday, 7/31. I will see and update you. My service tech said that...
  19. Gas pedal leg woes

    I am unsure what you mean, can you please elaborate? I have the same problem as the others in this post and would like to find solution. I travel 30 minutes each way to work and use the Cruise Control as much as possible. I have from the beginning realized I should have gotten the electric seats...
