  1. CVT fluid - drain and fill @ 45,000mi 2017 EX-T

    I did my CVT fluid drain and fill at 30k miles and the fluid that came out was pretty clear. Most of my miles have been either highway or easy local driving with not much stop and go. My maintenance minder didn't call for it yet but I decided to do it every 30k miles regardless. Did your...
  2. Unpopular Opinions

    I thought this was odd so I did a google search about getting pulled over in Canada. I was surprised to read that you could be pulled over in Canada for not just any reason but for no reason at all. Police can pull you over and demand you take a breathalyzer or face the consequences. I found...
  3. Intentionally Pig Parking Beside Me?

    I used to live in Queens NY and finding street parking spots was difficult at certain times. People from Long Island would drive to Queens and park their car in my neighborhood and take the subway into Manhattan. I purposely bought an old beater (1980 Olds Cutlass) with metal bumpers. One...
  4. Can't decide between Civic 2016/2017 LX or EX

    I chose the EX over the LX mainly for Apple Carplay, fog lights, keyless entry, and push button start. I never use remote start but I have heard the 1.5L takes a long time to warm up in cold weather while only idling so you might want to look into that...
  5. Real estate during COVID

    Those 'we buy houses' companies probably have it pretty hard right now. They usually offer 50-60% of market value and promise a quick closing and pay for closing costs. These companies are like the guy in a bar that asks all the women for their phone number. He might get 1 out of 100. Their...
  6. Real estate during COVID

    It's been said that people are leaving cities and going to the suburbs for more space. The interest rates are dropping for economic stimulus. And, some people are reluctant to list and show their homes because they don't want 15-20 people a day going through their homes. This has all increased...
  7. Real estate during COVID

    It's the same in Florida. I am a real estate investor and told one of my long term tenants that I don't want to renew their lease so I could sell the property. I offered to sell them the property at a discount because I wouldn't have to pay a commission to a realtor but they declined. That...
  8. Car air fresheners

    I bought a used car a few years ago that was previously owned by a cigarette smoker. I used the PURGGO air freshener which has no scent and it worked but it took about a month. I now have one in both vehicles and they work great. I do have to put them out in the sun for about an hour once a...
  9. Target or Walmart

    A few years ago I moved near a Super Target. I walked in and thought how much nicer it was than the Walmart I used to shop at. I got my groceries and beer then went to checkout. The cashier asked for my ID. I was around 45 at the time so I figured they ask for ID from everybody that appears...
  10. Quoted $500 plus for 15k mile service on 2019 Si

    I couldn't agree more with the statement to learn to DIY. Dealerships are in business to make money. Look around a dealership and see all the employees that are not on commission. Their salaries have to be paid and all the other costs of running dealership are expensive. Most service on a...
  11. My AC Compressor is bad (maybe?)

    Yes Gruber, my warranty is 4 year/48,000 miles whichever is not exceeded. I have 28,000 miles right now and only drive about 7500 miles per year so I will be well under 48,000 miles when my bumper to bumper warranty expires in 2022. I originally planned to keep this car for 10 years or more...
  12. My AC Compressor is bad (maybe?)

    Thanks latole, that's true except I didn't pay anything for my repair because it was covered under factory warranty. The point I was trying to make is that you will only get a 12 month/ 12,000 mile warranty for OEM parts that were replaced under your factory warranty (usually 3 years/36,000...
  13. My AC Compressor is bad (maybe?)

    But now they say the compressor is bad. It's not covered under the extended warranty AND there is only a 12 warranty on the part they replace in June of last year. I call Honda corporate to see what they can do The compressor in my 2018 hatchback was replaced under warranty at 25,000 miles and...
  14. Ceramic coating- worth it?

    My department at work bought a new 2019 GMC Siera HD 2500 crew cab long bed pickup last year and we paid over $1000 for ceramic coating before we took delivery. I like keeping cars clean so I volunteered to hand wash the truck instead of taking it to the car wash. I was washing it under a...
  15. why did you buy a civic?

    I bought a Civic because I have rental properties and I wanted a car that is not too flashy. I chose the hatchback because I can do about 90% of my work on the rental properties with the hatchback. For the other 10% I use my 2013 Ridgeline. I went with Honda because of my past experience with...
  16. Whelp, got the AC inspected due to warm air / Freon being blown through the vents on my 18 civic sport. $1500 replacement for leaking compressor.

    I would have to disagree with this theory based on my experience because the compressor in my 2018 HB was replaced due to leaking at 25,000 miles. I live in South Florida and we use our AC all year. But, I do think it is a good idea to run your AC at least once per week if you live in a cold...
  17. Very slow air leak

    I had this problem with 2 tires when I bought my CPO 2018 Hatch with 21K miles. I checked the tires and could see nothing. I bought a tire valve tool and tightened all the valves slightly and it stopped the leakage.
  18. (closed) Side Markers with Amber LED?

    I am interested and I would like the smoked housing with amber LED. I would like the LED to be off during the day and amber LED on when the headlights or parking lights are on and the turn signal to work day or night. I've been looking for something like this for a while. In Florida you have...
  19. AC Blows Warm on Driver's Side? Here's (Likely) Why...

    I had this issue with my 2018 Hatchback EX with 25k miles. I brought it to the dealership yesterday and it turned out to be a leaking ac compressor. The compressor was replaced under warranty.
