  1. Highest Mileage 1.5T?

    I found this Civic EX-T for sale (https://www.carfax.com/vehicle/2HGFC3B39GH354925). It has 171,936 miles. Does this make it the highest mileage Civic with the 1.5 turbo? Regardless, It's good to see that this engine can go the distance.
  2. Oof ouch my heart: It's totaled

    I would recommend the new Sport trim for the sedan. For US $21,150, you get Apple Carplay, push button start, fog lights, digital gauge cluster, metal sport pedals, and great looking wheels. It looks almost the same as a Touring except for the headlights. Aegean blue: Also, I would consider...
  3. B maintenance cost

    I question the thoroughness of the "multi-point inspection." One time, they said my wipers were good, when they obviously needed to be replaced. Another time, they said my fluid levels were good, when the coolant was clearly low. I doubt they look at everything on that checklist.
  4. Remember this Commercial?

    The sedan was the first model to come out. The coupe and hatchback came later.
  5. B maintenance cost

    The maintenance item B (oil and filter change) costs $44.95 at my Honda dealer. Tire rotation is another $20, so about $65 for an oil change and tire rotation.
  6. Honda Civic hatchback collides with collapsed highway overpass in I-75 Chattanooga TN

    He is lucky it fell in front of him, instead of on him. If it fell on him, he would have been crushed. Those overpasses are extremely heavy.
  7. The Sedan is the Safest Body Style

    IIHS tested the LX trim of the coupe and sedan, so neither one had the sunroof. The machine pushed on the front corner of the roof. They didn't test the hatchback, I guess because the roof structure is similar to the sedan. Sedan: Coupe: Here is a rear crash test of the sedan: and hatchback: .
  8. The Sedan is the Safest Body Style

    Why do you think the sedan structure is weaker? Do you have a source for this? According to IIHS, the sedan's roof can support almost 3000 pounds more than the coupe can, before crushing the same amount. There is not more steel in the coupe and hatchback. It is the same thickness, just a...
  9. The Sedan is the Safest Body Style

    The reason that Civic got crushed is because it got hit on the rear corner, bypassing the frame rails. Manufacturers haven’t yet designed cars for small overlap from the rear. Here is a video of a Civic sedan that got rear ended by a full-size pickup going 50 MPH: The structure help up...
  10. The Sedan is the Safest Body Style

    The coupe uses a weaker grade steel for the B pillar, rear frame rails, and the front roof rail, for some reason. Coupe structure: From Honda: "4-door models use weight-saving 1,500 MPa steel rear frame rails with soft zones for impact crush control." The 1500 MPA steel is stronger, yet...
  11. LX-P is the best trim. Here's why.

    I think the new Sport trim for the sedan is the best value. For US $21,150, you get Apple Carplay, push button start, fog lights, digital gauge cluster, metal sport pedals, and great looking wheels. It looks almost the same as a Touring except for the headlights.
  12. The Sedan is the Safest Body Style

    Where are you getting this from? The front on all three bodies is identical. The trunk area is constructed from 270 MPA steel on all three. The only difference is the sedan gets the 1500 MPA rear frame rails; the coupe and hatchback frame rails are constructed from a significantly weaker 590 MPA...
  13. The Sedan is the Safest Body Style

    The sedan is the safest Civic of the three body styles. This is because it has the strongest body structure. Here are the structures of the sedan and coupe models: Only the sedan gets 1500 MPA steel in the roof front rail, B pillar, and rear frame rails. The coupe uses a weaker 590 MPA steel...
  14. Safety of New vs Old Civic

    Weight is still the most important factor in an accident though. In a car to car collision, heavier vehicles are safer, for their occupants anyways. Would you rather be in a compact car with airbags or a semi truck without airbags? If everybody drove a sensibly sized car, like a Civic, the roads...
  15. Safety of New vs Old Civic

    These features help prevent accidents, and the body structure is also much stronger than previous gen Civics. Note how the strongest steel is used in the A and B pillars. Older Civics seems to be made of tinfoil.
  16. Safety of New vs Old Civic

    Ok, here is a link: https://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/sunrise/fl-ne-sunrise-crash-friday-20190322-story.html
  17. Safety of New vs Old Civic

    This bad accident in Florida highlights the safety differences between a new and old Honda Civic. A 10th gen Civic was pinned under a Ford F250 pickup truck: At first glance it looks as though the car was crushed. However, with the truck removed, one can see that the A-pillars are intact...
