2016 Civic Owners-Biggest Surprises/Disappointments so far?

[LBug]

The LX model lacks an external trunk release, included on "higher" models. On the LX, you've got to use the key or the internal release.

I have a touring and wasn't even aware of an external trunk release. Not sure why id use that over the key button. I always use that or internal release anyway.

Put your hand under the lip on the trunk, press on the rubberized buttons, tada it opens if you have your smart key on you

The EX-T has everything I could want minus a few things: Blindspot Warnings and a Home Link (garage door opener) is about the only reasonable things I'd want to see added.

Even the touring does not have blind spot warnings, I dont think any Hondas have that?

Odyssey Touring, Pilot Touring and top Ridgeline trim does have BSI, and Acuras.

I find it amusing that someone buys a base model car, then complains because it does not have top of the line trim options lol
Civic is still considered a basic model, even the touring trim does not have the same goodies the higher end models of Honda has. So don't expect them.

I think they were just contradicting your statement:

I meant some of the other people posting who are complaining about the lack of features the car has, like the one who wants blind spot warning in an EXT, The Touring does not even have that? The other one who wants the touring style trunk release on the outside on an LX model on and on they want the top of the line features on the basic model trim or the same features are Honda's top of the line models, on their most basic model car the Civic. Blows my mind.

The auto wipers. That's the only flaw.

Touring HAS auto wipers.......... or are you saying they don't work correctly?

LOL, look. I spent Months and Months researching the car (as well as here), so the only possible "surprises" or "disappointments" for me would be for an unexpected failure or costs. I was just stating more of a "nice to have". I love my EX-T.

On the other end though, many compact cars from the competitors does have the traditional blind spot monitoring.

If they have all the stuff Civic Touring has AND have that too, it probably costs more too

It doesn't...lol.

Elantra Limited is far better equipped and it's equivalent to the Civic.
The Civic does drive a tad better though.

Anyway, competition exists for a reason!
