  2. Farewell ... it has been a wonderful ride

    I feel like it would have more, my issue was with carseats. Our Nuna Exec is kind of tall and it takes up some of the potential headroom. This resulted in my crunching my daughter every time I put her in or out to clear the roof. Can't speak on a bike but I hauled a bunch of stuff with the rear...
  3. Farewell ... it has been a wonderful ride

    Sadly it came time to part with my 2019 Civic Sport Touring in Sonic Grey Pearl. As my family grows, things I didn't consider when I first bought her came to light. Such as how much head room I actually need to get my daughter out of her car seat without bumping her head. For the family, I have...
  4. ECON mode effect on AC

    Econ mode was beneficial for me during my commute to work where I would either be on the highway with traffic or stop and go traffic. However normal driving with no traffic and local I don’t like it due to the loss of power especially when I need to overtake on the highway. Econ mode also...
  5. What's an oil change at dealership costing you these days?

    For all of you whose oil changes cost more than $40, do you know if your dealership uses Honda oil? My dealership uses mobil1 and probably super synthetic
  6. What's an oil change at dealership costing you these days?

    It costs $30 here in NY at my local dealer with a coupon. However turns out they use Mobil Super Synthetic oil which is their lowest quality 0w-20 oil. After finding that out and also after the service advisor basically treated me like an idiot for asking for washer fluid refill during an...
  7. Strange Honda (Steal)ealership Experience

    One time I took my car in for a tire replacement (under extended warranty). They left the car running at the drop-off zone for 45 minutes until they pulled it in.... I should have just got up and shut the car down myself.... What a waste of gas
  8. Low Engine Idle

    Not sure, I found some 2.0l videos but not one for the 1.5T yet. Also not sure if it will even fix the issue for you. Might want to have someone check it out. 08 2.4l. Sadly just found out it needs to have a transmission rebuilt.
  9. Low Engine Idle

    Have the same issues sometimes. I think it’s just related to maybe the throttle body being dirty but I haven’t looked into it. It doesn’t happen with the AC on because the AC brings the rpm up enough to not cause the shaking. At least it isn’t as violent as the RAV which keeps getting a dirty...
  10. Cabin Air Filter DIY

    I only paid $17 for my OEM filter from college hills Honda. So even if you want to go OEM parts look online. Only letting Honda do big services. Still debating to do my own oil changes after I learned they don’t even use OEM fluids for anything except like transmissions…
  11. Go to dealership for maintenance?

    I had a few items serviced for my 30k at MILLENIUM Honda. They charged me $40 for a CVT conditioner on top of the CVT service cost. Also there was split brake fluid on the air filter housing which I had to clean myself before it got grimy which I did not appreciate. Usually I have nothing to...
  12. 30k and still going strong + 30k service experience ?

    That would make sense if someone told me about it. They just sneaked it in which I did not appreciate. Oh well I wasn’t surprised that they would do that.
  13. 30k and still going strong + 30k service experience ?

    Called it the wrong thing, it was called a transmission service not flush. I am guessing the fluid was replaced and not flushed.
  14. 30k and still going strong + 30k service experience ?

    It has been 30k beautiful miles with my '19 Sport Touring SGP. I had a lot of great trips, moments and experiences over the past 30k/2 years of ownership. Smooth on the highway, efficient in the city. Beautiful color that always get compliments from strangers. There had been some hiccups; some...
  15. Warranty Extension: 2016-2021 Civic A/C Condenser

    Got this letter for a warranty extension in the mail. Haven’t experienced the condenser failing yet in my 19 hatch but glad to know it’ll be covered 10 years and unlimited mileage. Almost reaching the point of the factory warranty expiring.
  16. 10th Gen Auto Dimming Day Night Mirror Installation

    Same thing happened to me, that chip came out of the plug when I pulled the hose out. Panicked for a second but then realized it wasn’t damaged ?
  17. Low Engine Idle

    I am at 25k miles and haven't had any violent shakes. Just small rumbles but it settles usually. My dad's rav4 had really bad low idle problems due to carbon build up. Had to routinely clean the throttle body, MAF sensor to get it to stop. Maybe you could check if the throttle body is dirty...
  18. Low Engine Idle

    I think the issue is not really an issue. Because it’s a CVT there might not be a torque converter. So like a manual it might be disengaging the transmission at idle. With no load the rpm might be dipping? Not sure if anyone can confirm that.
  19. 10th Gen Auto Dimming Day Night Mirror Installation

    No I bought the mirror + harness from college hills Honda but you might be able to find it on eBay as well.
  20. Map Update

    Getting the flash drive ready I think takes the longest part, it depends on how fast your internet is and copying those files to the flash drive. The actual install took less than a hour (about 30 minutes for me). I think the part that might need to be done in 24 hours is: Copying the maps...
