  1. Honda Spreading Manual Transmission Love

    This is great. I signed up for a couple of sessions at some driving school, to get access to a stick shift car, not really for a lesson but just to rehash. I don't remember how much but it was not cheap.
  2. Where is the button or knob where you adjust the backup camera on my 2017 Hona Civic LX-P coupe ?

    When you put your car on reverse and you see the rear view on the display, on the bottom left, you have three options of angle.
  3. Have you "shopped" local dealers via email for best price?

    I used edmunds.com. I selected the exact specs of the car, checked off 3 dealers in my area, and clicked submit. Minutes after I got a seemingly good quote from each dealer. The emails looked like automated emails. Then minutes later, each of the dealers sent me a personal email (not automated)...

  5. Manual transmission rare?

    I learned to drive with a manual, but my first two cars were automatic. Then I was intrigued in owning a manual because I got a vague recollection that it was kinda fun. I called up some driving school to see if they had a manual. I signed up for few hours lesson and it was confirmed that...

    Favorite: auto unlock and auto lock on walk away Least: android auto. Was looking forward to using it a lot but it's not usable for me. (have to plug in, don't have access to all music, can't choose "no toll roads" on google maps)
  9. So I want to get rid of my truck

    I traded in my SUV for a sedan and yes daily commute became more pleasant. I don't have a family though. You need to do the math and figure out how often you actually need a pick up. I pay for delivery services. Last I bought a 55 inch TV from Amazon, it was delivered straight to my living room.
  10. Japan Trip. Purchase suggestions?

    Japanese food, japanese food, and japanese food LOL! Good quality sushi and japanese beef are so accessible. I regret not overstuffing myself when I was there.
  11. Did you lease or buy/finance your 2016 or 2017 Civic?

  12. Buying Car Next Month. When Do I start negotiating?

    Last minute? Do you have to buy the car by certain date? I myself won't contact the dealers until I get my pre-approved loan, have my trade-in appraised by carmax, and my down payment ready. I will then use edmunds.com to get quotes. When I do that, the dealers tend to race to the bottom*, that...
  13. Are you Impatient to buy the Model/Trim you don't really want...

    Well ideally I don't buy first year model, but I would have had to file bankruptcy if I kept my mini cooper a day longer. (Mini breaks a lot.)
  14. Any Civic Hatches in Socal?

    I saw one in the showroom at Norm Reeves Honda Irvine last week.

    People value different things differently. I have the EX-T. Turn back back the time and I would get the EX and spend the change on spoiler and other things.
  16. Dealer swap taking too long?ys)

    It's possible, from beginning, they had no dealer to swap car with and the dealer tried to bought some time. The fact that they were not responsive and transparent, I would have moved on if I had a choice. In my case long ago, they ended up offering a different color because they never had my...
  17. Need Tips on Haggling Price Online

    Dealers will have fine print like expiration date, "you must finance with us," etc in the email. It's never hurt to ask, when the quote already expired, "Can I still get the car at that price?" You have to ask "I'm financing with other bank. Can I get the car at that price?" You have to say...
  18. I work at a Honda dealership...

    I used edmunds. Edmunds gave me quotes, but then the dealers themselves gave me lower price than edmunds' by at least $1000. I would definitely recommend everyone to not settle with edmunds' quote.
  19. Fitting a new TV in the 2016 Civic Sedan?

    Just order it off Amazon. They will send delivery guys and even unpack it for you. I believe you can specify the date and time to drop it off.
  20. Tired of dealing with so many idiots at dealerships!

    edmunds.com (or truecar, etc) When they know you come from edmunds.com, they know you're getting quotes from other dealerships as well. For dealers, to quote a high price is to lose the game. Customers are idiots, except some of us.
