Great post and review! I feel exactly the same way!And it just gets better.
I went out today and put on the Meguairs leather balm on the seats. Only me in the car. Vacuumed the drivers high wall mat and then I wipe it and the pedals with a warm rag. OCD. Windows cleaned with Griots cleaner and their PFM (Pure Freakin Magic) which really leaves no streaks better than newspaper. I keep a little flash light in the car so I can see when I vacuum. Rechargeable battery.
2019 Touring rivals the Cadillac ride. Amazing! And still at 37 MPG. No real performance mods just comfort add ons. Never had the Honda Safety Features before. She likes to drive herself. Love the LKAS. Adaptive Cruise and Auto Brights. Power Seats are awesome. So much comfort after a long day and a long commute.
HiFi? I listen to Classical/Opera. It is fine and I keep the volume at 14/15. Or radio 90.1 HD2. Perfect. Better than Mini Cooper Harmon Kardon. Running 18K miles a year I will trade at 5 years. I don't want to try and rip out and modify stereo. It is not bad. Better than most. The infotainment system a bit slow but then so am I. No worries. Just think, in another 5 years as was my last car this will seem so out dated. Sad but true.
Moonroof is awesome. Especially as I vape and like to have an opening somewhere although vaping is not smoking and the windows don't get screwed up plus no ashes all over the place.
Black car and the dealer tinted the windows. Great move. Looks awesome. Washing it is a dream. You really get to know a car by washing it. The Mini Cooper I had was hard to wash and this is easy. The fog lights are easy to wash. Just try reaching for the Mini Coopers. You feel the difference. Even waxed inside the doors with Carnauba wax. The smell and that shine of a black car. WOW!
Quiet? Very. They added insulation to the 2019. Hardly hear any outside noise. Amazing. And this is an Civic? I tried the Cadillac and CLA Mercedes. I can tolerate more imperfections in a Civic but spending upward of 50K not so much and those car have issues as well. Nothing is perfect just remember that fact.
So the car that likes to take control and drive herself. I call her Christine. After the book. Those who have read it will understand I work with many shitters. I just wish she would take care of business when i am sleeping. Please go out and take care of them!
Work is stressful. Especially for a CPA. Nothing like jumping into a nice car for a long commute home. And even better having that nice car not costing 50K for more. In the end, with work and such. I spend more time with my car than my wife. Long hours as most CPA's. Home dinner and bed. Not much else. So if you spend at least 2 or more hours a day commuting what would you rather drive? The Civic is perfect.
Do I regret not getting a Cadillac or Mercedes? Just wait until the first oil change and then I will tell you. Looking for reasonable maintenance. Most of my colleagues drive a Benz. Impress with dress drive to save money. I just want the comfort/amenities. Certainly Civic has that and more. Besides, the Hatchback is stylish. Love the looks. Two Spoilers. Wow.
