  1. My 2016 Dashboard Melted In !!!

    Definitely report it...they will want to know and investigate and issue a recall if it's an issue that could affect everyone.
  2. What did you drive before your 10th Gen Civic?

    1986 Toyota Supra Turbo (1st car, bought used in 1990, didn't know it had a cracked engine block, traded in for the Accord) 1992 Honda Accord EX-R (Coupe) 1996 Nissan Maxima (got married and thinking ahead) 1996 Civic EX (bought in 2000, needed a second car) 2002 Acura MDX (bought used in 04 -...
  3. Did you switched out there winter tires yet?

    Easter weekend for the Civic on the Firestones, then maybe last week in April for my other car that rides on high performance summer tires.
  4. Winter Wheels / Tires - Everything you want to know

    Your speedometer will be off a bit as the calculator has shown, it's up to you if you want to live with that for the next few months or not. Since you are purchasing a LX, I assume you will be sticking with steel wheels. If so, there are many independents who sell them (including Canadian...
  5. Is auto heat/cool worse?

    I only ever use Auto. I believe the fan for heat doesn't really get going until the engine is warmed up a bit so that it doesn't blow cold air into the footwell. I do notice in the winter, no air comes out of the center vents, only the side vents, front windshield and footwell. In the summer...
  6. Is auto heat/cool worse?

    I believe Autostart always turns on the front and rear defrosters and turns on the seat heating when it is cold outside, at least mine does that. However I'm not clear what happens next when get in the car and press the start button. I know the front defroster turns off and the climate control...
  7. Winter Tires?

    I hear they are really good but only if your laws allow them to be driven on the local roads. Studded tires are not allowed on the urban roads where I live.
  8. Info on 2016 Civic's Hankook Kinergy GT / Firestone FT140 tires

    Haha I got the chance to use my Blizzak WS80 over the last 2 weekends because of the snow storms we've had. Conditions ranged from snow, wet snow, to ice covered roads. At the intersection of my street and the main road where the plows had come by, the snowbank was about 1.5 ft high and about...
  9. How in the heck is this car totaled??? I am getting scammed

    I know I'm jumping in late here and want to understand what Gap insurance does as I've never heard of it or maybe it is not available here in Canada. Is the purpose to cover you on any deficit between the insurance payout and the loan owing in the even the car is a write off? In Ontario, we can...
  10. Winter Wheels / Tires - Everything you want to know

    VIto416, the correct sizing is 205/60/16 if you have a 2016 EX. I'll save you some work. Simplytires has it for $840 plus taxes and the manufacturer has a $70 rebate so your total price will come in at less than $900. http://www.simplytire.com/winter/hondapdf.pdf
  11. Want to replace wheels on new 2016 Civic LX but dealership say it voids my warranty?

    I've never heard of that. If this is true, it would wipe out the entire after market wheel industry and companies such as Tirerack would not exist. As inv4zn has suggested, I'd go to another dealer from now on.
  12. Info on 2016 Civic's Hankook Kinergy GT / Firestone FT140 tires

    I live in Toronto and my impression is we get a lot less snow than Colorado. I got a dedicated set of winter tires because I didn't want to chance a winter with the Firestone FT140s.
  13. How are your weld seams - Is this considered normal quality!

    Very poorly done when I compare it to my other cars. The fact that you can actually see the weld seams (as opposed to the weld locations being hidden behind gaskets or panels) shows the extent of the cost cutting that's going on in a mass produced vehicle. Then again, I try to put it into...
  14. Winter Wheels / Tires - Everything you want to know

    It should be correct. Take a look at this - http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator# Essentially because your wheel is now narrower, you want it to be pushed outwards a bit from the hub so that it maintains it stock stance.
  15. Bluetooth connect order

    I have 3 devices set up to pair to the Civic, wife, daughter and me. It works fine when only one of us is in the car, however when all 3 people are travelling together, the person who's name is higher up on the alphabet gets their device paired to the car. Is there a way to set up a priority...
  16. Excessive drifting side to side on highway

    No rattles or clunks. Everything seems to be ok with the suspension, like it was on day one. Took delivery early June and we've out less than the equivalent of 2,000 miles on it.
  17. Excessive drifting side to side on highway

    I'm meticulous in keeping the air pressure accurate and not under/over inflated so that's probably not the cause unless the tires are defective. Just put my winter tires on yesterday so I'll see how that compares to rule out the stock Firestones. Will definitely check alignment if the car...
  18. Excessive drifting side to side on highway

    I've noticed that my Civic seems to drift side to side at highway speeds and I'm constantly making adjustments to keep it in the middle of the lane. I can't tell if it's the low friction Firestone tires or if it's because the Civic is relatively light and a wind gust pushes it around or a...
  19. Info on 2016 Civic's Hankook Kinergy GT / Firestone FT140 tires

    Typically a bigger wheel means less sidewall, hence a bumpier/stiffer ride with all things being equal. However, it's difficult to say as you are comparing your Civic to a Sentra. The only suggestion I have for you is to check the tire pressure and see if the tires are overinflated as that will...
  20. Sunroof up/open reminder

    Totally agree. Maybe do it so the car doesn't chirp when you set the alarm or make the alarm chirp if it's set not to chirp when activating the alarm. Anything is better than getting back to the car after a rainstorm and the seats are wet bc I forgot to close the sunroof.
