It is actually set up to cool or heat based on the outside temperature so us Canadians and northern border Americans greatly appreciate the automatic heating up in the winters...
I completely understand those who benefit from it. Based on where I live in Southern California, it doesn't really serve much of a purpose for me. It probably can't be disabled, hardwired feature I'm assuming.
And this is where I get annoyed with car companies that don't just give us access to all these functions. It is all just software and code... It is not like the olden days or something for the love of Pete. As far as I am concerned, other than if something changed would make the car unfit for use on the road, Honda should give us an insane degree of customization of both the full LCD instrument cluster, the head unit and ALL of the passive settings. What if I am a spleeny bugger and I want it to heat up at even warmer temps or if I like it a little warmer in the summer and I don't want the AC to come on so soon?
Be careful what you wish for, went from a 16 EX-L Coupe with 215/50/17's to a 19 Touring Coupe with 235/4018's. The 16, with exactly the same drivetrain as the 19 averaged 38-41mpg in combined driving, upper 40's to low/mid 50's on straight highway. The 19 is 34-38 combined, 44-45 highway. Ride quality is harsher, although cornering is a bit better. IMHO, the sole reason for the mpg drop is the additional drag friction from the larger wider tires. A quality All-Season tire is also about 30-40% more expensive in the larger size, and is less effective in snow. I've considered getting a set of 17" wheels and going back to the 215/50/17, but Pennsylvania inspection law doesn't permit downsizing tires, size has to be what's on the door jamb sticker.
Haha funny. My complaints as well. Still love it though.No HUD- heads-up-display.
No seat lumbar adjustment, no up-down udjust on passanger seat.
NO adaptive (road following) bi-xenon headlamp.
no optional 2.0T engine - without getting the CTR
wait.... I just discribed a bmw328.
other than those I love my 1.5T sedan w/CVT.
lol not mpg fuel tank size.
Perhaps but it is only a relevant complaint if the car was getting trash mileage and truly had too small of a tank. This is not at all the case so it is either a troll complaint or the poster has no proper relative comparison to almost all other vehicles. For example, my fathers Ridgeline has a tank twice the size and has no more range than our Civics. My CRV has a tank 50% larger and again, same range.
For lack of making this a dissertation, I have the hatch, it does not get as good mpg (which I'm ok with for sure). I wish the fuel tank was bigger so I could go farther without stopping. So yes, my complaint is relevant (to me).
Well, then, you should be permanently disappointed in every single vehicle on the market. They are all spec'd to only carry enough fuel to go basically the same distance regardless of the engine or weight of the vehicle. Which was the whole point I was trying to convey that you clearly skipped right over. On the highway, most vehicles driven for economy will get up to 750 km / 460 miles. Some cruiser cars like Buicks will get closer to 800/500 but those are the exceptions or are class specific (Midsize and full size sedans) as the modern Accords will do 800/500 but takes a tank 20 liters larger to do it. So if you are bent out of shape over a 40ish mile range difference (I looked up your car), then well, I don't know what else to say.
LOL! I was just answering the poll. Take a xanax...
