Oh my God, we have a fair share of those in my corner of VT. When I had my CivicX, it was hell to drive with one behind me because of the mirror glare. I wound up putting 30% tints on my rear windows (VT doesn't let you have them on the windshield or driver's side), and that helped somewhat. But...

My 2017 A4 has LED lights, and how it effects visibility on low-beam makes a huge difference, especially in the rain. I had an EX-T with the stock halogen low and high beams, and sometimes I could barely see the lines on the road during night rainstorms (they also suck at keeping lines...

I've been driving a 2017 Audi A4 as of late with a seven-speed dual-clutch, and aside from being slow to start off the line (as well as a bit of turbo lag), it's a peach. But being that I'm a relatively new driver, I really took for granted how smooth the CVT in my Civic felt. I'm still getting...

I missed your comment earlier in the thread. My bad. That's great information to have--thank you! Is there anything you've noticed with the tune that you can share? Any quirks? And I drive using 89 octane, so my next question is would 93-octane be required to get those power numbers?

What I want to know is *are* there any 1.5T CivicX sedans out there with the CVT/Hondata boost tune? I'm gathering the answer is yes. I'm certainly thinking about it as a splurge for my EX-T, but since I'm so new to cars and driving, I would need to know a lot more about what to expect. Aside...

Yep, that's pretty much it. Green is for efficiency, light green is straddling the edge of efficiency, white means you're either idling or driving like you're on the Laguna Seca. It's a pretty handy way to help you predict how close you'll get to the posted 42 mpg highway number without fixating...

Ah, I guess posting here would be better. So, after my 10th or so instance with this issue, I finally got fed up of remote starting/unlocking the car whenever I had to use the trunk and called my dealership. I was pretty sure they wouldn't be able to recreate the problem, but I'd been...

Guys, they have a fix for this. I brought my car into the dealership last week after a lockout where my key fob/physical key wouldn't work after using the trunk left me stranded outside of a Starbucks for 3 hours. The service tech at my dealership had never encountered it, but after a quick...

I've noticed the poor performance of the CivicX's headlights at night, in the rain. Maybe it's the crappy paint they use in VT, but I can barely see the lines on the road, and my fog lights don't help. Otherwise, they're fine. I've thought about HID/LED lights, but I don't want to obliterate...

I'll average between 280-300 miles per tank, but I primarily drive in a hilly Vermont town. To me, this is a no-brainer--the more often you tap the accelerator, the more gas you use. In a city with traffic lights, lower speed limits, and shorter drives, a lower range makes sense. A highway...

You're good, dude. It happens!

Erbee knows what he's talking about. From everything I've read about the Chinese auto market, that's exactly how it works. That's why brands like Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and other luxury automakers--not to mention mainstream ones like Mazda, and Ford--try to make their Chinese-market...

I have a bone to pick with where CR gets their data. I work as an automotive blogger, and many dealers are moving away from Consumer Reports rankings as their go-to "quality" barometer. JD Power, Kelley Blue Book, and a few others I can't quite recall are held in higher esteem these days. They...

Hey CivicX! I'm an occasional poster, normally a lurker, and I've noticed some trends on the forum about little quirks in the new 2016 and 2017 Civics. These run the gamut from poor gas mileage, to jerky movements when traveling in stop and go traffic under light throttle. In the 13 months...

It really does depend, it looks like. I do mostly around town city driving in my EX-T sedan, and my average per tank for just city driving is between 22-25 mpg. If I'm driving on the highway more, I'll average 29-35 mpg, with overall average trip-to-trip being between 39-45 mpg. Most of my tanks...

This could be the break-in period, it could also do with how you drive it. The first 600 or so miles on my EX-T sedan were similar, but then again, I was mostly taking short trips (The 1.5 turbo engine seems to hate those, as the car doesn't get properly warmed up when you're driving under 5-6...

My corner of VT can never keep its roads together from all the snow we get--especially this year. I've hit some real rattlers in my EX-T sedan, but I can't detect any change in the suspension or alignment. I get my snow tires off in two weeks, and my dealership always checks the alignment with...

@Molatte I was being serious, actually. I'm very new to driving and know diddly squat about in-car tech.

I actually didn't know the CivicX could do this... there's actually software that learns your driving style? Can you talk a bit more about that? I'm intrigued!

I remember when I tried to up my EX-T to a Touring sedan when they started getting them at my VT dealership... everyone said about the same as @Molatte . Jealous, haha :P
