  1. Trunk opens spontaneously / alarm sounds

    I had that problem too (trunk opening randomly; I posted in Oct 2016 about it) but it hasn't happened since I started putting the FOB inside a hard box (like an empty Altoid metal box) so the buttons can't get pressed.
  2. Simple question why did you buy a coupe

    Also got mine for the styling, even though the longer doors aren't terribly convenient in parking lots.
  3. How often do you see civics with the same color as yours?

    I rarely see red ones like mine, especially coupes.
  4. Torn between two colours... Rallye Red or Aegean Blue?

    I've got the red, and I love it. It's my 2nd red Civic (the previous being the 2002 coupe). I've never had so many compliments over my car, ever, and this is my 5th Civic.
  5. Trunk opens spontaneously / alarm sounds

    Agreed. I'm also not crazy about the trunk release button in the door. Too easy to press while putting stuff in the door pocket.
  6. Trunk opens spontaneously / alarm sounds

    I have that problem too with my 2016 Civic. I have gotten into the habit of putting my key fob in a metal box to make sure none of the buttons get pressed. It's annoying but it seems to work, as the truck has not spontaneously opened in over a year. Also, I used to have to park near an airport...
  7. Audio system "loses its place" playing MP3s

    LOL! I've got that Honda data sharing thing turned off and my insurance suggested installing a gadget to report how I drive to lower my premiums. No thanks. But I've got a security system that does keep track of where my car is so those guys are probably recording all that info. As for the...
  8. Audio system "loses its place" playing MP3s

    SCOPESYS, totally love the emojis you used! Your tests align with my experience, though I don't recall ever yanking out the USB drive while it was playing. The problem I've encountered happens without removing the USB drive, which would contain sometimes around 20 MP3 podcasts, generally...
  9. Audio system "loses its place" playing MP3s

    I started writing down every time it happened. I was never able to figure out a pattern (date, day of week, number of days in between), but it happened once a month and it's still happening. Very, very irritating, and the lack of a way to jump back to where we were (something like you describe...
  10. Handling attention (good and bad)

    I've only gotten positive attention. Thumbs ups, big wide grins, "wows"... a few people approached me in parking lots to comment on it. At a traffic light, one driver in the next lane kept admiring it from his side mirror and moving his car just a bit when I moved forward a little. :)
  11. Thinnest hood ever!

    Eeeeek! Don't mention the "h" word. :-(
  12. 10th Gen Civic Easter Egg

    Kinda bummed that it's not available in the LX Coupe.
  13. 10 things you may not know about 2016 Civic

    Thanks! The only one I didn't know (that I can use on my EX) was the customization of the instrument panel. I'm a bit bummed that the EX doesn't have the Easter Egg, only LX and above.
  14. Does anyone have a parking buddy at work?

    I used to, until he retired. We'd park passenger doors against each other, as closely as possible, to leave as much room as possible on either side for doors opening. I now park in the street since getting a pretty big dent thanks to a careless coworker in the office parking lot.
  15. Infotainment System... Officially a lemon!

    The only problem I have with mine is the occasional reset in the MP3s I was listening to (detailed in another thread). I've written down when it happens (6 times since last August) but I can't see a pattern. I listen to 2-hour long podcasts, so when I'm somewhere in the middle of the 18th MP3 on...
  16. App downloads

    Honestly, since the apps we can use in the car are pretty much all blocked for safety reasons, I haven't bothered trying to install anything. :cool:
  17. Well guys, I have been keyed. Any ideas?

    I'm introverted, which doesn't help, and little boys can have big brothers. It wasn't the best neighborhood and I was too scared to get out of my car. Tempting. I just hope Darwin sorts it out. Maybe the next rock he throws at a car will bounce off the wheel and hit him in the face. Just like...
  18. Well guys, I have been keyed. Any ideas?

    That's horrible. :-( During my first couple of weeks of owning my 2016 Civic, some idiot kid threw a rock at it while I was driving by (very minor scratch) and some other kid drew a line with a white Crayola as he was walking by my parked car. Nothing like what you experienced, though. I hope...
  19. Would you get the same colour again?

    It's my second Rallye Red Civic (owed 5 Civics: dark blue 1989, blue-green 1995, red 2002, black 2009 and red again 2016). If every imaginable color was available, I'd pick Rallye Red again.
