The features are pretty I had a friend who was surprised at the android auto and touch screen on the civic. This is my first honda so I also have been pleased so far. What made you get the sedan vs. the coupe accord ? Hopefully this car ends up also lasting a long period of time. I used to own Toyotas before some were given, the last one I bought was a 2010 Prius. After 106,000 miles, the timing cap was leaking oil and the rings went bad so the entire engine would have to be rebuilt and the dealer wanted more than the worth of the car so I got rid of it. I hope this Civic is more reliable than the Toyota.
The Bay Area dealers were not willing to negotiate on price. The MSRP for the EX HB with Sensing is $23.8k. The lowest my nearby dealers were willing to go was $24.7k without taxes/fees and no accessories. The car was already on the lot at the LA dealership, and I was offered $22.7 (without taxes/fees, includes wheel locks and trunk tray), so I figured it was worth a one way flight and gas since I needed a car and had settled on this exact model in black. It was a little odd that they were offering it for such a low price compared to what I was getting locally, but my guess is it was stuck on their lot.
Makes sense. That's smart shopping, glad you got a match. I was shocked that the local dealers were not willing to match. I guess people are buying the car at the higher prices up here.
Well what did you expect? It's not a Tesla. I think for the price the sensing is quite very decent. Keep in mind it is a computer processes the information not a human
Will do. I think that's what my 07 civic used. It was still running great using no oil after 300k miles on it when I sold it. Chick totaled it (again) before it was due for another oil change. I found it by chance online at auction again. Best car I have ever owned.
I think he paid 20k+ for a car that should work as advertised. Anyone who says sensing works well either has one that works a shit ton better than mine, or haven't spent enough time on the highway to see how bad this garbage is. It's a gimmick and nothing else IMO. The random hard braking (when you cross a dotted line, sometimes they are impossible to miss...construction zones, etc) almost causes more accidents than it has ever helped me out on. The fact that the car can see good enough to fire up lane departure warnings, yet LKAS couldn't see good enough to keep you from going there to begin with. ACC is far too jerky in slow traffic, and doesn't get close enough to let left lane loiterers know that you're wanting them to pass....so you just sit there behind him joining the parade that's developing. Of course you can just press the gas to get closer....but if your foot isn't in the exact right place....another involuntary brake check. I used ALL of these features every mile of 50k miles, and I quit every last one of them. I do still use LKAS on the highway, but it's almost more work correcting it when it tries to take you to the median every time you pass a crossroad or a left hand exit.
