  1. Is the EX-T fun to drive?

    I haven't read the other replies, but I just turned in 10-series FR-S off a 3-year lease. That was a fun little car to drive. Backend very slippy, made good vroom-vroom noises. But, the tight suspension got old feeling every bump in the road, and the car isn't very practical for daily use...
  2. What did you pay?

    Mechanically, I'd agree with you: the engines and transmissions are great, which is why they already have a 5-year/60k powertrain warranty. But everything else on the car, especially all the electronics on the Touring, are only 3/36. So peace of mind for 4 more years plus 64k miles for the...
  3. What did you pay?

    TrueCar says MSRP $21,875. Average paid $20,988 in Florida. You can find dealers willing to sell you for this price on TrueCar. That appears to be roughly the price the dealer is quoting you. NOTE: these numbers do not include the $835 factory delivery charge that appears on window sticker...
  4. What's your CivicX's name

    I've discovered one reason I may like Silver cars the best is because I'm a fan of Star Trek, and the ships there are grey/silver. I feel like this Civic Touring with all the "avionics" is the USS Enterprise. (And turning in my Scion FR-S off lease, that silver car must have been the USS Defiant.)
  5. Upgrade from EXT to Touring?

    For me, it was: Chrome door handles LED headlights Sensing (would have added it to EX-T). This is a big one, because this is the future. They will make long drives so easy. Leather (if I'm going to have nice sedan, leather is nicer than cloth) The best sound system. True, it may not be as...

    ^ Any chance you were in ECON mode? Make sure you know the precise settings to recreate it.
  7. 2017 Rumor: Side view camera to be replaced with blind spot warning system.

    Because there is barely a blind spot on the left side. It has to do with the distance from your eye to the mirror; you're much closer to the left mirror than the right, which lets you see more. At a glance, you'll see if there is a vehicle there or not. Think about it this way: take a...
  8. 2017 Rumor: Side view camera to be replaced with blind spot warning system.

    You can make it go back to the music by pressing the button on the end of the turn signal lever, right? Doesn't have to be stuck.
  9. Why I'm hesitating to buy a Civic

    Honest question: when you bought the other two cars, did you pay attention to the Hyundai and Kia forums the first year? (if they existed?) You've got a microcosm of people here. Internet people, Honda enthusiasts. Maybe they even got here because a problem brought them here in the first...
  10. What did you pay?

    CostcoAuto.com says MSRP is $25,535, and Invoice is $22,942. NOTE: this is before the $835 delivery fee. (That is on the window sticker, but after MSRP price.) TrueCar.com says $24,428 is the average paid nationally, and $23,960 would be a good price. They can connect you to dealers who will...
  11. General question

    It wouldn't have hurt to ask, especially since you can bring up lost wages, and having dropped off one of your vehicles already. Real financial implications there. Flying off the handle just didn't seem warranted, threatening to go elsewhere. It may work, but it may also be "wow, this...
  12. Why I'm hesitating to buy a Civic

    Oh god, this guy. Count the number of Fear/Uncertainty/Doubt arguments he posits? What he doesn't know doesn't equate to what Honda doesn't know. The dealer is probably telling him "it is being worked on", because it is. A dealer and Honda wouldn't say "it is safe" and let him and his car go...
  13. 2017 Civic Hatchback (US market) spy pics

    I like it better than the normal Coupe, but still prefer the lines of the Sedan for 4 doors. I realize storage is a thing though for the hatchback...so glad this will be ideal for some people!
  14. What did you pay?

    I'd say anything $24,500 and under is in the "pretty good price" territory. Until the 2017's start showing up, you may not be able to do much better. It is the end of the month though, you might find a motivated dealer today through Saturday. If you find a dealer you trust, and they are...
  15. A/C help

    Yep, then yeah, I don't see how that would blow anything other than cold air, all the time. Yesterday I thought I noticed my A/C wasn't "as cold" as I hoped it would be, so I'm going to start paying more attention to it and these threads. Thanks.
  16. New Here? Introduce Yourself!

    Hi all, new Chicago area owner here. Picked up a Civic Touring sedan (Lunar Silver Metallic) this past Monday night. My leased 2013 Scion FR-S 10-series is going back this weekend (sniff), but I'm really glad to have found a quality, sporty, and inexpensive sedan like the 2016 Civic. The...
  17. A/C help

    @linjy, sorry to ask remedial questions, but I'm fascinated by troubleshooting so I can't help my curiosity. 1. When you experience this cycling problem (accelerated by letting warm air from the outside in), do you have it set on the "Auto" climate control, or is the auto off and you just have...
  18. What did you pay?

    Sharing my story in Chicago area... Shortly after a Civic Touring caught my eye, friends were buying an Accord through the Costco Auto Program (www.costcoauto.com). I've been buying cars through the Internet for literally almost 20 years (starting with "Microsoft CarPoint" if any of you...
  19. Please explain this AC behvior?

    Try changing the temperature on both sides to "Lo". Think of it as "this is the temperature of the target climate I want it to be in automatic mode" and "this is the temperature of the air coming out in manual mode".
  20. I like ECON mode

    Sometimes you want to drive the car aggressively, and that is what the S is for. I'm liking the ECON mode too. It's just getting me from Point A to Point B, safely, economically, reliably. Driving home yesterday, in ECON mode with the LKAS on, felt like I'm just gliding down the road, because...
