  1. Proud New Owner

    I have 3 friends with Golfs, 2 of them are GTIs. They all say the same thing. "I love it, but I wish it didn't break so much." I'm 40k miles in on my 2016 Touring, and have had one infotainment flash update, and a few interior rattles. I'll take that over what they get to deal with any day.

    If only we had a forum for that...
  3. Lets get something clear....

    Somebody just needs to buy a Ford, sheesh. "Smoke a 270hp car" has anyone implied that? Let's get something clear... Honda has promised a sporty and more enjoyable to drive Civic, and that's it. They didn't guarantee you'll win any pissing contests vs Ford (a cheap feeling noisy car) or GTI...
  4. Finally got my Sport Touring!

    I'm curious where they put the subwoofer in the hatchback Touring trim.
  5. Has anyone had the cloth interior in a Civic replaced with Leather?

    I have a 16 Touring Sedan myself, and can speak to the quality of the leather used. I went with black, specifically to avoid dye transfer, which isn't as much to do with the quality of the leather as it is the color, as mentioned above. If you get tan leather, wear darker dyed jeans, and get...
  6. Rattle, Creaking, wind noise

    Same here. Subwoofer rattle, as well as vibration rattles from road noise everywhere. The back deck, headliner around the moon roof, in the dash near the glove box, and another one that I haven't found yet. The problem is, they're very difficult to reproduce. I drive the same route on my...
  7. DIY: Using sorbothane to fix Touring subwoofer rattle

    Now I'm just chasing the other rattles. There's about 3-4 other spots in the car that intermittently rattle with the road vibrations. I'm about to pull the interior panels off and go nuts with foam wrapping wiring harnesses and Tesa taping every contact point. I'm getting really sick of the...
  8. DIY: Using sorbothane to fix Touring subwoofer rattle

    Let me start by thanking the OP. I just used the sorbothane to fix my back deck rattles. Rather than doing 4 at the corners of the brake light, I used 2 at the very bottom so they just peak over the black edge trim of the window. I then attached one to a 1.5" piece of some foam weather...
  9. Best quick wipes for dash/gauge plastic/infotainment?

    I keep a short handle Swiffer in the glove compartment. It's fantastic for dust. As for the screen, I use a microfiber terry cloth and distilled water.
  10. New Here? Introduce Yourself!

    Hello everyone! I've been lurking here for about 6 months, and have found a lot of great advice! I bought a 2016 Touring Sedan in WOP back in April, after looking at the Acura ILX and VWs. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied. It's definitely a lot of car for the money, and the interior design is...
  11. FT140 vs Michelin Premier A/S

    I just made the same swap myself. I found the Firestones to be growing more and more noisy as I got past 20k miles. I switched to the Permier A/S, and noticed a mild improvement in noise, however I'm coming to to the conclusion that the main issue is a lack of sound insulation in the rear of the...
