Favorite: Full-stop adaptive cruise control. I'll never buy a car without it now
Runner-up: pause/rewind on the satellite radio
Least favorite: no volume knob
Runner-up: Lanewatch camera. I find it so useless that I turned it off

I'm kind of surprised so many people love the keyless stuff so much. I drove a 2014 Mazda for a year that had it, then switched to a 2015 Accord for a year that didn't, and I didn't miss the keyless at all.

The Walk Away is new to me, hopefully this will be standard on every vehicle.

I'm guessing this will drain the Key Fob battery faster than the standard keyless?

I don't see why it would...because the key fob is being used if you use the walk away feature or if you press the button on the remote or car. Either way a signal is being transmitted so I would guess the battery from the fob is being "drained" in a similar way.

I'm not really qualified to give an opinion, as I'm still on my first tank full of gas.
BUT....
I really don't like the "Lanewatch."
I think the BLIS is much more convenient as well as being safer. . .

I mentioned this in another thread, but if you adjust your side mirrors properly, blind spots are pretty much eliminated. All you have to do is a tiny glance to the side after checking the mirror to be sure.

Favorite: This Civic forced me begrudgingly to stop carrying CDs in the car. :p I'm not a tech geek and could care less if I have the newest thing. I drove a '99 vehicle with a cassette deck for 15 years, for crying out loud. :rofl: I considered the CD player in the next 2 cars a luxury! With this Civic, I put my most listened-to music on a memory stick and now I really like having all the music available without having to change CDs.

Least: no hand brake

Funny. I'm 47 and never did this properly until my daughter taught me this technique after learning in driver's ed. Pretty sure I'm supposed to be teacher HER stuff, not the other way around... And yes, it works great. I don't have lane watch nor do I need it.

I love Android Auto despite the limitations, but the "no toll" thing was pissing me off until the other day. While navigating and on the google maps screen I hit the microphone button and said "avoid tolls" and was shocked when she responded "rerouting avoiding tolls" or something to that effect, and then it did just that. I assume that you could ask for directions and add "avoid tolls" while asking but I haven't tried it.

Not a fan of looking over my shoulder to check and know about this adjusting the mirrors but I prefer those Blind Spot Mirrors.

I remember driving home from picking her up and forgot to bring the mirrors with me and the difference is night and day.

Favourite: Android Auto. Being able to make calls / send full text messages / get directions/ receive messages from Facebook Messanger and Whatsapp/ change songs all with just my voice is amazing! Especially coming from a 2001 Honda Accord.

Least: If I had to really nitpick the Lanewatch Camera since I find it pretty useless and kind of distracting which is why I disabled it in the settings.
