Hello,
I have been checking out this forum off and on for a few weeks. I really love to see the passion people have for their cars here. I have found that Honda owners are much more passionate about their cars than other brands. .... I had a 2005 Honda Accord v6 exl a while back and loved that car. and enjoyed being on the accord forum. Unfortunately that car's transmission went out and the $2400 dollar repair bill left a bad taste in my mouth. lol .... so sold the accord a few years ago and moved on.
Ended up Leasing a new 2013 Fusion to avoid any repair bills. LOL.. have loved the car, but my lease is up in 8 months and I'm ready for my next car. That car will be the 2016 EX-T Honda Civic. I have test drove it twice and am in love with it. Even almost finalized a deal to trade in my fusion for the civic, but was going to lose a bunch of money, so thought better of it and decided to be more patient. LOL
4 months ago I got back into Honda by buying a new 2015 CRV EX for my girlfriend. We have loved the car and has restored my faith in Honda. ... But I LOVE the styling and refinement of the new Civic. I am familiar with the 4cyl turbo engines because my Fusion has a 1.6L turbo ingine that I have been driving for the past 3 years. after reading some of the posts on here from people talking about the power and driving experience of the turbo on the new civic, I can say that this type of engine takes some getting used to. It takes a bit to understand where the powerband of the turbo is. But once you do , you can really use it to your advantage to have the extra power when needed. ... when I test drove the civic I noticed it also. though the CVT definitely brings some differences into the equation. some good and some bad, but I do think it will help keep the fuel economy better.
anyway, I will keep rambling. but glad I found your forum. and I plan on sticking around for a while.
cheers!
Ryan
