  1. LED VS HID

    makes sense as factory LEDs are offered as a model upgrade over halogens but my question is are factory LEDs better than any of the discussed pnp HIDs ok $70 not $200 because not brand m, but I still wonder the comparison between a $70 HID kit and factory LEDs Also does having the automatic...
  2. LED VS HID

    Thanks for your advice. So money aside how do these $200 HID kits compare with the OEM led touring headlights? I've seen a couple of CTR owners replace their LEDs with retrofits, but the reasons were unclear and I figured they did so as serial 'modders' The LED jewel lights on my Acura are...
  3. 2017 Rumor: Side view camera to be replaced with blind spot warning system.

    Until manufacturers universally standardize the placement and audible alert of a blind spot indicator the lane watch camera is a welcome and much better solution for me. The distance grid lines showing a vehicle along the blind side is awesome in congested traffic combined with the ACC creep...
  4. Are heater/defroster adequate in 2019 Civic hatchback?

    The front and rear defrost has its own 'power on' dash button which is very convenient and works very good (very Honda like). The heat in the foot well could be much hotter, might be if the engine runs cool. I like heat that can dry wet socks!...little pickup trucks have the best floor heat...
  5. I'm worried about my rims getting stolen

    Do people say if a security camera somewhere helps? Or would that get stolen also. Is thief insurance available or are the premiums costly. Iā€™d be worried also.
  6. FLASH NEWS-Hate to break bad news - Honda closing UK hatchback factory just released

    we forget the hatch previously disappeared in North America but the European market continued...so recent sales in Europe must not have been good. I think the hatch will continue for a few more years with manufacturing somewhere but will be replaced as before by the lower cost sedan and not...
  7. WTB: OEM LED Headlights

    A few forum members have listed their used ones for sale recently. Good deals too. If you can wait (just past the 3yr warranty period of this x-gen) the oe price will drop and the oe-replacement quality will get better as the market demand increases.
  8. Re: FasTrak and windshield mount location?

    Now with pay as you go fasttrak lanes you need to set the fastrak switch to 1-2-3 passengers on certain parts of our HOV lanes since different rates, people or times may apply. Dangerous to whip it out while at freeway speed to set the passenger count and if hidden you may be charged as a single...
  9. Im always the last to figure things out but today I was surprised by a feature..

    So odd...what is it? Just tried this today leaving the mall. I have a 2017 hatch exl and can drive with no seatbelt on and no chime for about 20seconds the seatbelt icon is on while in motion and timing wise only after the doors automatically locked then the seatbelt chime sounded.
  10. hatchback forum? why isnt there one?

    Being a hatch owner as long as the thread title in general discussion says ā€˜hatchback....ā€™ Iā€™ll take an interest in that topic first.
  11. Selling 2018 Crystal Black CTR less than 1000 miles

    Consider the tax and rebate incentives Tesla is offering which will soon be reduced state by state....also currently qualifies as an HOV. My buddy last month picked up his 3 at the plant after getting a fair price for his boxster. The incentives more than made up for the hassle of private sale...
  12. Anyone else notice a difference with Costco gas?

    Iā€™ve started asking the Costco station attendants where the gas is from... On my last Costco fill up the fuel was from Shell which has a nearby refinery. The additives are mixed in before the drop at the station and at this station 4-tankers of regular are delivered daily and 1-tanker of...
  13. Anyone else notice a difference with Costco gas?

    I see in other forums owners of lifted trucks, high performance or tuned cruisers say Costco gas sucks...but for the vast majority of owners of family vans, suvs and sedans used daily buying Costco gas seems just fine. The specific detergents used in name brand gas is the cost difference...
  14. Anyone else notice a difference with Costco gas?

    Costco gas stations are plentiful in my area and using the Citi cash back card is great. I also grab a case of Techron while at Costco and use as recommended. The Costco price ($3.39 last fill) is .30 less per gal than at my neighborhood Chevron. Ask your Costco station attendants where the gas...
  15. Which floormats did you purchase?

    I got the high wall oem mats for my hatch. I like also seeing the civic logo subtle as it is. Iā€™m not in any harsh environment where a more robust mat makes any difference just need something to catch debris not mud or snow. One oddity I noticed yesterday was that the rear mats are not...
  16. Anyone recieve this type of email? (Trade In)

    The Honda dealer in my small town has a good reputation and seems purchase for top dollar used Hondaā€™s and sells them at top dollar too. Many with extended warranties, freakishly low miles in great condition and not lease returns. Makes the decision to buy new or cpo close in price.
  17. 2018 Honda Civic EX-L. What's your OTD price?

    @ $21.5k you got an ok deal. Now time to move on and enjoy your ride. Iā€™m also in California and paid 3k more for leather cvt nav and sense beginning of 2017 when there was high demand for the hatch...bottom line Iā€™m happy. A few months of civic ownership negates any regrets over what I may...
  18. Car blessing

    Not unusual at all from what Iā€™ve seen from friends living in Asia Blessings and placing deities like Buddha or a saint in your car will bring whatever... good fortune, safety, health, prosperity. Consultation with a Feng Shui person to pick the color and day of purchase should not be overlooked...
  19. UK, EU, CAN peeps- external parking sensors/cameras

    Sort of. Hereā€™s me slugging my way trying to figure it out... https://www.civicx.com/threads/request-rear-parking-sensors.14946/ still zero problems and helps backing out of tight quarters tremendously.
  20. self driving cars

    Perhaps you were following a tesla without EAP...afterall it is a 5k add for the model 3. Without the autopilot feature you get an old style stalk set and cancel cruise control. Yes, the civic and even the corolla have a very good stop and go adaptive cruise. The low speed creep feature sold me...
