  1. Another rodent wire damage story

    Is "a couple of months" enough? I mean I don't know if the peppermint oil spray will stay for more than a couple of days.
  2. Upgrade to 11th gen?

    Perhaps that was their goal. For some reason, they have decided that 10th gen will be be "youthful looking", 11th gen will be "bland". I don't know why. Perhaps their market research gave them indications that this will maximize their profits? For example, few people will sell their 10th gen to...
  3. A/C condenser warranty letter from Honda

    I didn't notice any problems yet. Does it happen to all, or it is just some of them? Is there anything else do to except waiting for the part to fail?
  4. Upgrade to 11th gen?

    Only the Touring trim has Wireless Android Auto and carplay.
  5. Upgrade to 11th gen?

    Do you plan to upgrade to the 11th gen Civic? If yes, why? If no, why not? What would you like to see in a future model to make you want to upgrade? Myself, I don't see any good reason to upgrade. The only great thing is the new 9 inch head unit in the 2022 Touring. I wish I could upgrade...
  6. Windows cracked with my buddy inside.

    True. I imagined the buddy sneezed really loud, or worse, and cracked the windows. I was curious what was the "worse", LOL.
  7. Frugality question

    Thank you for the replies. It is always nice to read the experiences of other drivers.
  8. Frugality question

    Over a span of 20 years, what is cheaper if we take into account all car-related expenses (including insurance and maintenance): 1. Buy a new Civic and hold it for 20 years, taking good care of it. 2. Buy a used Civic, hold it for 10 years, and then buy another used Civic for 10 more years. If...
  9. Do you drive with your fogs?

    No. Please don't.
  10. So this has gone wrong with my new Civic 2018...

    You bought a used lemon. That's why it was 18% cheaper.
  11. Best replacement battery for Civic?

    Battery and tires from Costco.
  12. Are you still happy with your Civic?

    Well, it is an option, you know? You don't have to use every option every day - but it's great to have it. I didn't know I needed Adaptive Cruise Control, either... before actually using it and realizing how useful it is, especially when I am tired. I now believe that the only real improvement...
  13. Are you still happy with your Civic?

    I had my 5th gen Civic for 17 years. Yes, seventeen years! Never replaced the windshield.
  14. Are you still happy with your Civic?

    My auto wipers work great! No issues with that. And anyway, if you don't like it or doesn't work correctly, you just turn it off and it works like manual wipers. There is no downside to have the auto option.
  15. Are you still happy with your Civic?

    Commuting on congested freeways is not fun! I'd love to have a self-driving option that brings me home in the evening while I take a nap! Actually stop-and-go situations is where I use the adaptive cruise control the most.
  16. Are you still happy with your Civic?

    My Civic is 2 years old now, and I am still very happy with it. No problems at all. I plan to keep the car for 10+ years. The feature I like most is the adaptive cruise control (ACC). My previous cars did not have that. It is really useful on the california freeways. Two years ago, when I...
  17. Highest Mileage 1.5T?

    Any pictures? Any major problems?
  18. Blind Spot Hack

    Yes, you are right. In recent years, this is also the formal recommendation by most traffic schools. For example here is AAA: https://seniordriving.aaa.com/improve-your-driving-skills/prepare-drive/how-use-adjust-your-mirrors/
  19. Just picked up a 2020 Hatchback CVT EX and have a few questions -

    You don't want to turn the ACC off. Adaptive Cruise Control is one of the best features of this car. Turning it off will just make it a regular plain old Cruise Control. Why would anyone want to do that?
